Update and MANY Thanks to Ridor & Jared Evans
I wanted to add another update from Jean. She posted information about this in my most recent post.
Fox 6 news had a quick report on this crime, check it out at
http://www.fox6.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=58EEA13F-7DD0-441F-81BD-C5B251D941A2
This report has new information and raises more questions. Since Officer Donelson was not very forthcoming about what happened, we were not aware that the Deaf boy did try to run away as announced in this news report. In the morning, I will be meeting with Councilwoman Toni Atkin's staff. One of my first questions will be why Officer Donelson could not be forthcoming with the Deaf Community because now that the boy did try to run away and Officer Donelson never mentioned this, I wonder if the boy did sign or do anything that made it obvious that he was Deaf prior to him running away. What Officer Donelson said was that they approached him and asked him what gang he claimed and as he was unable to respond they beat him up. That is definitely different from what this news report is saying. Hmm... Should we be listening to Officer Donelson anymore? It is becoming more clear that he was only interested in debunking our arguement that it was a possible hate crime by telling us that it was a gang incident by just saying that he was approached and asked what gang he claimed when thats not what this news report says.
I will update the blog immediately at around Noon Pacific Time with an update of what happened at the meeting with Councilwoman Atkin's staff. I think they will be very attentive to this issue because Councilwoman Atkins is the only gay city council member and she is aware of the impact of hate crimes on her own community.
I also want to take a moment to thank Ricky aka Ridor. I never got to thank him on this blog and want to do so. When all of this started, Ricky was the first person I contacted because of attention that his blog gets. He was generous enough to take the time to hear me out on this issue and was VERY helpful in getting the word out about this issue. I cannot thank him enough because without him and his blog I don't think many people would have been aware of this. THANK YOU RIDOR!
I also want to thank Jared Evans. After he found out about this issue, he was very interested and helped me figure out the art of blogging. I have never had a real blog with frequent postings and Jared has helped out in understanding the art of blogging! He also worked hard to make the vlog of the speech at Coffee Bean. THANK YOU JARED!
Will be back with an update in 12 hours!

Good to see you're still doing what you do best. Drop me a line some time.
No problem. This is the exact thing I wanted to see out of the city council -- their RESPONSE.
Thanks to you, Pepe for willing to take up on this cause to safeguard the rights of all Deaf San Diegans.
