Arrests made public
The arrest of the man who was the prime suspect was made public and the identity of the victim was made public as well.
The Police Department was aware of this prime suspect for a while now and I could not list the information on the website due to the sensitivity of the investigation but now that the information is public... Read it! And note what the authorities are saying in this one line:
"Authorities said Bureng's disability might be the reason he was attacked and that Bureng was unable to communicate with his attacker because he does not speak."
I still don't trust the media after my experience getting different information from the media and the police department themselves so I still don't know what to say about this but WOW because I got different information that was strong enough to show that it was a different type of crime, not a Deaf Hate Crime but hey maybe we changed their thinking and maybe the "authorities" really are opening up to understanding the Deaf community!

SAN DIEGO -- Police said on Thursday that they have arrested the man who severely beat a deaf teenager in San Diego last month.
Officials said Loro Bureng, 18, was playing basketball at Rosa Parks Elementary School in the 4500 block of Landis Street in City Heights when he was approached by a group of people. He was severely beaten, suffering a broken eye socket and nose in the attack.
San Diego police said Jesse R. Ross, 20, beat the victim for "no apparent reason." Authorities said Bureng's disability might be the reason he was attacked and that Bureng was unable to communicate with his attacker because he does not speak.
Investigators said they were led to Ross -- who was arrested in El Cajon on an unrelated theft charge -- by a Crime Stoppers tip.
Police said Ross faces assault charges in connection with the attack on Bureng. He is currently being held on $90,000 bail. Investigators said they are still looking for the other young men who took part in the beating.
ALSO...
The San Diego Police Chief WILL speak at San Diego Deaf Awareness Day, sponsored by Deaf Community Services of San Diego. Keep your eyes open for the exact time he will show up to speak at the event.

It's marvelous news!
Justice is served. For now.
Well congrats but make sure the credit goes to Pepe not DCS.
This is Pepe's trophy not DCS's trophy.

From someone who's trophy was stolen by DCS.
Pepe,
I have no other way of contacting you, so I'm dropping a line in here.
Have you seen the Clinton/Wallace transcript.
Mag-fucking-nificent.

Dear Oprah,
I am writing to you about discrimination which has been expressed by the selective enforcement of city ordinances against me with respect to my rental business in Southern Indiana once city officials discovered that I am a Jewish person.
More about me: I was named to the "30 under 30" list by my alma mater and did my PhD work at Princeton Univ. under John Nash. I am a applied mathematician/ entrepreneur in my day job.
In the years since I completed my undergraduate work at IU in 1998, I proceeded to buy a small number of rental properties in Bloomington, Indiana, which I have successfully run as a side business for a number of years.
However, about 2-3 years ago, the normal flow of my side rental business ran into some serious roadblocks.
It started when two housing inspectors made a number of explicit anti-semitic statements to me and to a Jewish tenant at one of my rentals.
Soon thereafter, four (4) groups of my otherwise law-abiding and happy tenants were threatened with $10,000 + fine (assessed PER tenant) for alleged ordinance violations.
Long story short, I was soon stuck with numerous vacancies and left paying the mortgage payments on these properties which were subsequently burglarized and vandalized. At the same time, the Housing Department caused complaint inspections to take place at these properties, identifying dozens and dozens of "defects" in the properties not otherwise noted in previous move-in inspections and causing me to incur thousands of dollars of needless "improvements".
And then the Legal Department went to work on me, filing at least five (5) lawsuits against me for alleged ordinance violations, and at the same time, the Legal Department Chief's wife, over at Student Legal Services, encouraged my erstwhile tenants to sue me for recovery of their security deposits, in spite of their breaches. I was soon dealing with about ten lawsuits at once.
So in April 2007, I filed a lawsuit against the City of Bloomington for violating my right to equal protection of the law, and a number of other civil rights violations. For reasons unbeknownst to me, I have become of the despotism of city government in small town Indiana. My attorneys have recently discovered that my case is not unique. Another Jewish landlord also has a case pending in federal court against the City, regarding the improper withholding of a building permit based upon the impermissible consideration that the prospective buyer of the commercial property in question was a Jewish investor from New York.
My life has been turned upside down by the systematic abuse of ordinances and
judicial proceedings. I find it outrageous that such a negative spirit still thrives in modern America. I would love the opportunity to talk about my story on your show, as I think it is in the public interest.
