RAW VIDEO: Thieves steal Deaf man's scooter caught on video.
Here's a raw footage of a 64 year old Deaf man has been beaten by thieves who stole his motorised scooter.
A 64-year-old Deaf man had a bottle smashed in his face after his scooter was stolen from Swan View last weekend. Detectives are appealing for the public’s help to catch the three young thugs involved in the assault.
About 9:30pm last Saturday night, the Swan View man noticed his electric scooter was missing from the back patio of his Patterson Drive home. The 64-year-old walked across the road to look for his scooter in a park, where he had found it abandoned once before. He was then approached by three teenage boys, who walked towards him from a nearby lake.
Two of the boys pushed and shoved the man before one of them smashed a bottle in his face. The victim dropped to the ground then managed to run home. He sustained a cut and swelling to his cheek.
The scooter was later found damaged and partially submerged in the lake. ... Read more: http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/16208285/thugs-steal-scooter-and-bash-deaf-owner/

Gallaudet Community Mourns Mother and Daughter Killed in Falls Church House Fire
VIDEO: Gallaudet University community mourns Deaf mother and daughter killed in Falls Church house fire.
WASHINGTON - Hot pink and yellow not black were the colors of choice for Laura Snyder-Gardner and Mary Ann Gardner’s memorial service Sunday.
The colors were bright and positive and radiated energy, exactly how those who loved them remembered the mother and daughter, who died last week in a Falls Church house fire.
Witnesses Say Falls Church Fire Moved Through House Quickly.
Friends, family members and faculty turned into a sea of pink and yellow Mary Ann’s favorite colors as they gathered at Gallaudet University in Northeast Washington.
They fondly recalled Snyder-Gardner’s generous and nurturing spirit, with many students calling the Gallaudet math professor a “second mom.” And they mourned the loss of Mary Ann’s “radiant smile,” which friends and classmates said was infectious even from afar...

Two people are confirmed dead after a raging inferno destroyed a Falls Church home Wednesday.
Capt. William Moreland, a spokesman with Fairfax County Fire and Rescue, said firefighters were called to the home in the 3100 block of Manor Rd. The entire single-level ranch-style home was completely engulfed when crews arrived.
Moreland said they will release the identities of the victims once family has been notified.
Steve Klass, who lives next door to the destroyed home, said he was awakened by a loud roaring sound at about 3:30 a.m. He said a woman who lived at the home, who was Deaf, could be heard screaming...

Deaf Hunter Crawls From Forest After Accident
VIDEO: Deaf hunter crawls out of woods, survives serious leg injury after deer stand falls.
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Reporter interview with Joe, who is Deaf, tells his story of falling out of a tree and breaking his leg during a solo hunting trip. It took him 12 hours to crawl from the forest and another several to find aid.
Joe Liuzza got home alive, just barely. Through grit and determination, he was able to win his battle against nature and pull himself and his mangled leg out of a swamp following a hunting-related accident near Robersonville that turned into a 14-hour ordeal.
Liuzza, 47, was home temporarily from the hospital on Dec. 13 and feeling a little more relaxed as he recounted the details of his harrowing experience.
It was easy to see in his features and by the steel cage wrapped around his right lower leg, rods poking through the skin to hold the disconnected portions of his bones in place that he had been through a struggle that he and his wife, Delia, owner of The Tipsy Teapot in Greenville, would never forget.
She served as her husband's sign-language interpreter because Joe is Deaf... Read more: http://www.goupstate.com/article/20130107/WIRE/130109796

Single Bullet Kills Deaf Man
DURBAN - Deaf couple Navin and Jessica Ragbeer, both aged 37, had known each other since their school days and no one was surprised when they married 12 years ago. They were inseparable, said Premmie Tholsi, Jessica’s mother.
But in the early hours of Thursday their loving marriage came to a tragic end at their Phoenix home when Navin was shot and killed by an intruder.
With blood oozing from his wound and paramedics still to arrive, Jessica prayed fervently for Navin as he lay helpless and dying on their veranda floor, but help came too late. “Why, why him?” asked Jessica.
Tholsi related her grief-stricken daughter’s anguish when the Sunday Tribune called at the family’s home. Jessica is a teacher at the St Martin’s School for the Deaf, physically and mentally challenged in Port Shepstone.
Navin was an administrative worker at the VN Naik School for the Deaf in Newlands. Three intruders surprised the Ragbeers, who live with Tholsi in her modest home, just as Navin was about to drive Jessica to Durban station to catch a bus to work. All the intruders took were a flat-screen TV and Jessica’s handbag with her cellphone and a small amount of cash.
Police spokesman Captain Thulani Zwane confirmed that Navin was pronounced dead at the home in Phoenix after sustaining a single gunshot wound to the chest. Read more: http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/single-bullet-kills-deaf-man-1.1437894#.UMUWx3qS-So SOURCE
