A 31-Year old deaf and mute man out trying to have a good time with friends, was attacked by a gang member who mistook their sign language for gang signs.
Alfred Stewart was celebrating his birthday along with close friends, whom are all deaf, at Ocean's Eleven Sports Lounge and Grill in Hallandale Beach, Florida.
Police say that's when 45-yea old Barbara Lee became heated when she thought they were throwing up gang signs, so she starts throwing them back.
I can't think of anything dumber than throwing gang signs at a group of deaf people who obviously were there minding their own business, but anyway.
Lee then went outside, but soon came back with 19-year-old Marco Ibanez.
According to police Ibanez pulled out a knife and both he and Lee attacked the group, leaving Stewart with 2 stab wounds to the torso and one to the back. One of Stawarts's friends also suffered stab wounds, and a bouncer who tried to help them was hit in the head with a bottle.
"By them being deaf, they're not bad people," Stewarts mom, Barbara said. "So they don't think nothing bad, they just. He'll say 'ok, it's alright I don't won't no problems. I'm just thankful that it didn't get worse."

Lee and Ibanez were both arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

(CNN) -- Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil, is dead, officials said -- almost 10 years after the attacks that killed about 3,000 people.
The founder and leader of al Qaeda was killed by U.S. forces Monday in a mansion in Abbottabad, north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, along with other family members, a senior U.S. official told CNN.
In an address to the nation Sunday night, U.S. President Barack Obama called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."
"Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan," Obama said. "A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."
A congressional source familiar with the operation said bin Laden was shot in the head.
A U.S. official told CNN that bin Laden was buried at sea. The official said his body was handled in the Islamic tradition, but did not elaborate.
Half a world away, the scene outside the White House was one of pure jubilation.
People gather at World Trade Center site to celebrate bin Laden's death.
Hundreds reveled through the night, chanting "USA! USA!" Others chanted "Hey, hey, hey, goodbye!" in reference to the demise of bin Laden. Many also spontaneously sang the national anthem.
In New York, a cheering crowd gathered at ground zero -- the site where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood. Strains of "God Bless America" could be heard intermittently trickling through the crowd.
One former New York firefighter -- forced to retire due to lung ailments suffered as a result of the dust from ground zero -- said he was there to let the 343 firefighters who died in the attacks know "they didn't die in vain."
"It's a war that I feel we just won," he said. "I'm down here to let them know that justice has been served."
Bob Gibson, a retired New York police officer, said the news of bin Laden's death gave him a sense of "closure."
"I never thought this night would come, that we would capture or kill bin Laden," he said. "And thank the Lord he has been eliminated."
Jubilant people in Washington, D.C., celebrate the news Bin Laden had been killed
The news also brought some relief to family members of those killed on 9/11.
Jim Riches, who lost his firefighter son when the World Trade Center's north tower collapsed, said he was gratified when he learned of bin Laden's death.
"(My) son still isn't coming home," he told CNN. "(There's) no closure, but at last at least some justice for the murder of 3,000 Americans, finally."
"This is important news for us, and for the world," Gordon Felt, president of Families of Flight 93, said in a statement. "It cannot ease our pain, or bring back our loved ones. It does bring a measure of comfort that the mastermind of the September 11th tragedy and the face of global terror can no longer spread his evil."
Bin Laden eluded capture for years, once reportedly slipping out of a training camp in Afghanistan just hours before a barrage of U.S. cruise missiles destroyed it.
He had been implicated in a series of deadly, high-profile attacks that had grown in their intensity and success during the 1990s. They included a deadly firefight with U.S. soldiers in Somalia in October 1993, the bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa that killed 224 in August 1998, and an attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 sailors in October 2000.
In his speech, Obama reiterated that the United States is not fighting Islam.
"I've made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims," Obama said.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, released a statement Monday morning welcoming the death of bin Laden.
"As we have stated repeatedly since the 9/11 terror attacks, bin Laden never represented Muslims or Islam. In fact, in addition to the killing of thousands of Americans, he and al Qaeda caused the deaths of countless Muslims worldwide," the statement said.
While the death of bin Laden "is a significant victory," the war on terrorism is not over, said Frances Fragos Townsend, former Homeland Security advisor to President George W. Bush.
"We've been fighting these fractured cells. We've seen the U.S. government, military and intelligence officials deployed around the world," Townsend said. "By no means are these other cells nearly as dangerous as he is, but we will continue to have to fight in chaotic places."
U.S. diplomatic facilities around the world were placed on high alert following the announcement of bin Laden's death, a senior U.S. official said, and the U.S. State Department issued a "worldwide caution" for Americans.
The travel alert warned of the "enhanced potential for anti-American violence given recent counter-terrorism activity in Pakistan." Some fear al Qaeda supporters may try to retaliate against U.S. citizens or U.S. institutions.
But for now, many Americans were soaking up the historic moment.
"It's what the world needed," said Dustin Swensson, who recently served in Iraq and joined the revelers outside the White House. "(I'll) always remember where I was when the towers went down, and I'm always going to remember where I am now."
In just his third movie Jaden Smith has already moved to the top of the Hollywood food chain for child actors salaries.
The 12-year old son of actors Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, just pulled in a cool $3 million for his starring role alongside Jackie Chan in Karate Kid.
According to TMZ, Smith was paid $1 million up front. His contract had bonus clauses built in based on the movies performance, that netted another $2 million after the film grossed $150 million domestically.
President Obama has come under a lot of scrutiny from Donald Trump recently regarding his birth certificate and his acceptance into Harvard Law School. Yesterday (May 30) at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Obama got to fire a few comedic jabs at "the Donald", who was in attendance.
"Donald Trump is here tonight," the comedian in chief said. "Now, I know that he's taken some flack lately, but no one is prouder to put this birth certificate to rest than The Donald. Now he can get to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened at Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?"
The President then took Trump apart regarding his lack of political experience.
"All kidding aside, we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience," Obama continued. "For example; in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice - the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha steaks, but you recognized that this was a lack of leadership, so ultimately you didn't blame Lil Jon or Meatloaf... you fired Gary Busey. These are the kinds of decisions that would keep me up at night."
They say everything is big in Texas, and the people in the town of Allen wouldn't argue with that statement.
The town is building a new state of the art, $60 million dollar palace for a high school team, all at the taxpayer's expense.
Citizens approved a $119 bond to build the stadium in 2009, by a wide margin.
The stadium is scheduled to open in late 2012 and will feature a video scoreboard, four concession stands, 12 restrooms, and 18,000 seats.
"Certainly we did not expect the cost to be $60 million dollars when we were going down this road," explains Ken Helvy, the Superintendent for the Allen, Texas school district "We weren't going for some type of record, but 18,000 seats is an unusual project for a high school."
Clearly this town isn't feeling the affect of the recession.
Birdman has broken his silence regarding rumors he is trying to bring Soulja Boy over to Cash Money.
In an interview published this week, Soulja said Baby and his brother Slim had already met with him face to face to talk business.
“I met with Baby and Slim down in Miami. He’s trying to get me to come over to Cash Money," Soulja said at the time. “I’ve been a fan of Cash Money since I was young. I’ve been listening to Birdman’s music since I was growing up. I would have never thought”
A huge stumbling to any new record deal for Soulja, would be the fact he is still legally obligated to Interscope Records for two more albums.
Birdman says he has never tried to sign Soulja Boy, and wouldn't be attempting to while he is under contract.
"YMCMB busine$$ real talk.I neva tried 2 sign n0b0dy thts already sign 2 s0meb0dy.we d0nt r0ck like tht.I neva tried 2 sign s0ulja.but I respect tha lil h0mey wrk keep getn it$$$$," Birdman wrote in a tweet.

While a guest on Big Boy's Neighborhood recently, Nicki Minaj had a no holds barred conversation about the dos and don'ts of sleeping in the nude.
What does Nicki Minaj sleep in?
Thongs and a t-shirt
Isn't that uncomfortable, you never just go commando?
Oh no, that's very uncomfortable for me. Like I don't know how women do that, I have some questions about girls who can do that. I have to ask them some questions like 'how are you able to do that?' because I can't.
You can ask me I've slept naked.
I have to have something around my vagina
You worried somebody might come around and steal it?
No (laughs), I can't say right now.
Doctors say you're actually supposed to, you're supposed to let it breathe
You're supposed to let it breathe? Your p*ssy must be really dry if you can just let it breathe for eight hours, I can't do that.
What's your opinion on this subject? Let it breathe or air it out?
