Deaf Jammed - 1000 Ways To Die

"Deaf Jammed" a car thief dies after getting his head caught in the window of a moving car by the Deaf driver.

DETROIT, Michigan -- 1000 Ways To Die: "Deaf Jammed", Way To Die #130, a hearing man, Mickey was a carjacker. But even worse, he only targeted women and he didn't care if they were pregnant or injured or disabled or dying.

This despicable scumbag was stalking a woman walking to her car alone. She got in her car and was about to shut the back window. Mickey saw a chance to make his move. He poked his head and left arm through the window, but, before he could pull the car-door lock the automatic glass window closed on his neck, crushing his windpipe and stopping his ability to breathe.

The woman drove off with Mickey hitching a ride and it is then revealed she is Deaf. His painful gasps for help were heard by no one.

A mile later and a couple of minutes without air left Mickey unconscious. The driver, who was Deaf and therefore, oblivious to his presence, looked in the mirror and saw Mickey's head sticking out of the window. She rolled down the window and Mickey dropped dead on the road. Justice is served... Instant Karma!

"Deaf Jammed", Way To Die #130, January 5th 2011 on Spike.

Albania TV Show Interview With Deaf Model

Rudina: Maria Taragjini represented Albania in Miss & Mister Deaf 2019.

TIRANA, Albania -- A beautiful and gorgeous 21-year-old Maria Taragjini is a Deaf woman with different abilities who does not speak or listen. But that has not stopped her from pursuing her dream. Maria represented Albania in the Miss and Mister Deaf 2019 competition that took place in Italy, ranking 5th.

Maria was invited today on the show "Rudina" on TV Klan to tell us more about this beautiful experience. Accompanied by her friend Loretta, who helps us communicate in sign language, Maria is currently a sophomore at the University of the Arts in the Department of Sculpture and Painting.

She has been living away from her family since coming to Tirana at the age of five to study at the school for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. While her family still lives in Kodovjat village of Gramsh.

Representing Albania was a dream come true and ranking in fifth place was a great achievement, even though it says competition was strong.

“I competed with 5 outfits; in a red dress, in a black dress, in something fashionable, in bathing suits and in a red dress. The race was strong, lots of beautiful girls, lots of competition. I did not find it difficult, I felt safe after being helped by people in the field. Fulfilled the dream I had when I was little, I learned how to walk in the backyard, to be beautiful. Fulfilling the dream is something very big."

Marias says she likes to change her appearance often. “I like myself more blonde than brunettes. I love the change of appearance. My hair was blue. I really want to explore with myself."

Prejudice is another aspect Marian has often associated with throughout her life. In this beauty contest, messages were given that these young people would not be seen with a different eye. And this is what Mary seeks to say. Maria's message is, "Don't prejudge, but help, we're like you."

Deaf Woman Refused Service at Tim Hortons

Deaf Ontario woman alleges mistreatment after Tim Hortons drive-thru employee refuses service.

HAMILTON, Ontario -- A Deaf Hamilton woman is hoping for change after she feels she was discriminated against while using a coffee shop drive-thru.

Danna Morales, 26, posted on Facebook says she has been using fast-food drive-thrus her whole life without issue, until she visited a Tim Hortons on Sunday.

Morales says she showed the drive-thru cashier her order typed out on her iPhone, and after some fuss the staff reluctantly processed it. But when they neglected to give her some of the items that she had already paid for, she tried to explain that to them by typing it out on her phone.

The incident was recorded on camera by Morales’ partner Francis Mena, who was in the passenger seat. Mena’s cellphone video shows the employee at the window refusing to look at the phone.

“I can’t, you have to come around!” says the employee. “Too bad,, no!”

When Morales tries to explain the situation, the employee appears increasingly agitated.

“You’re holding my line, go!” she orders Morales.

“She didn’t need to have such attitude with me,” Morales told CTV News Toronto through an interpreter Wednesday.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

“I think because of the way she reacted, it was a little discriminatory.”

The video shows other employees coming to the window and trying to assist.

“Go inside, I’m going to serve you,” says another employee.

“She can’t talk, she has to come inside,” says the main clerk at the window.

“She could have just read the order off the phone, given us our order and we would have been out of there,” Mena told CTV News Toronto, also through an interpreter.

“But instead she dragged it out and it made me feel a little hurt, a little uncomfortable.”

As the exchange continues, other drivers begin honking and one approaches the drive-thru window.

“Look at the line up here, I have to go,” a customer is heard saying in the video. “What is this?”

The employees eventually give Morales the rest of her order.

Morales and Mena returned to the location later that day with an interpreter, and they say the manager apologized and called the situation unacceptable.

Tim Hortons told CTV News Toronto in a statement the experience was “truly unfortunate” and does not reflect the company’s inclusive values.

“We want all of our guests to have a positive and welcoming experience at our restaurants. The restaurant has been working to rectify this,” a spokesperson said.

Morales says she would like to see more education for employees. Tim Hortons tells CTV News Toronto that it will be updating its accessibility training in light of Morales’ experience.

Morales also believes more should be done to improve drive-thru accessibility for Deaf people.

“How are we supposed to even order though a drive-thru when it’s a speaker system that’s inaccessible to us?” she said.

The City of Fredericton recently made plans to combat their own Tim Hortons drive-thru chaos by spending $40,000 to build a "traffic circle”. The move is an attempt to limit the amount of traffic that is clogging up the roads near one of the coffee shop's drive-thru locations.

Deaf Woman Suing Jack in the Box

Deaf California woman suing Jack in the Box fast food restaurant for refusing service at drive-thru.

SAN JOSE, California -- ReVae Arnaud-Jensen is not a confrontational woman. She describes herself as a hardworking, responsible, single mother of three.

But, when she tried to order at a Jack in the Box in Campbell on Aug. 31 and the man behind the counter refused her service, as captured on video, she knew she had to stand her ground.

Arnaud-Jensen is profoundly Deaf, no hearing at all. She was born that way. While she can read lips, she could not hear the voice over the speaker.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

When she proceeded to the next window to explain, the employee was angry that she was not responding. She stayed for two hours and never got her order.

"I was just fed up, the constant, you know, telling us to go, to go, when it should be equal access," she said.

There are approximately 40 million people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing in the United States. Arnaud-Jensen says she is fighting for the entire community. It's one of the reasons why she posted the video on Facebook.

"I don't like confrontation, but I fight for equal access," she said.

Arnaud-Jensen says she spoke to the manager of the store and was told the employee was fired. But, she is standing her ground and even pursuing legal action for this reason.

"Things done to us, not okay, I will stand and fight for that, for everyone in the community, it's for you guys, the community, not me but for them, so there will be no more suffering for the Deaf community."

She says this kind of discrimination happens to her almost every day and it needs to stop. Arnaud-Jensen says she is demanding, at the very least, that Jack In The Box train their employees, including the CEO to understand Deaf culture.

ABC7 News reached out to Jack in the Box. In a statement, they sent ABC7 this response:

"We have been informed of the incident that took place between an employee and hearing-impaired guest, in the drive-thru at a Campbell, California restaurant on August 31st. We do not tolerate the mistreatment of any customers and expect employees to follow all training procedures, be respectful, courteous and accommodating to all guests. After a thorough investigation of the incident and direct contact with the local franchise owner, we understand the employee in the video has been terminated."

Deaf Woman Suing Burger King

Deaf Oklahoma woman suing Burger King fast food restaurant after she was refused service because she's Deaf.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma woman says she was refused service at a metro Burger King because she’s Deaf. Rachel Hollis says she was stopping to get food after taking her two sons to hockey practice.

“I had my order ready, I had it typed on my phone. I do that often when I go through drive-thrus, it hasn’t ever been an issue," Hollis told News 4 through an interpreter. "I show him my order, and he gives me this face of frustration.”

Hollis says she started taking a video of the incident because she was feeling uneasy, then in the video you can see the employee hand her a note that says, “Can’t do a full order at the window. Too busy.”

Eventually, the employee comes back to the window and starts arguing with Hollis.

“You have to come inside. It’s too busy. Too busy ma’am, I can’t do a full order at the window I’m sorry," the employee says to Hollis. "It has nothing to do with your disability, I have a disability too."

After that, he slams the window shut. Hollis says one of the worst parts about the whole experience was that it happened with her kids in the car.

"I could tell they knew something was going on, I was just trying to keep them calm," Hollis said. "I said I’ll explain it to you when we get home. But they knew something was going on.”

Hollis says she tries to stay calm in that moment, but she’s tired of people being treated that way.

“When I got home, that was when I really broke down. I was very upset, I was crying, I was very tired. I’m tired of discrimination,” Hollis told News 4 through an interpreter. “I’ve never experienced anything like that, for someone to call the police. That’s crazy, it just doesn’t seem right.”

There`s a big update in the case of a Deaf woman who says she was denied service at a metro Burger King: Rachel Hollis has hired a legal team to represent her, claiming the restaurant is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.

News 4 reached out to the Burger King corporate office about the situation, in a statement Burger King said:

All guests should be treated with respect and provided with a high level of service at our restaurants. The restaurant owner has reached out to the guest and her family to apologize, the employee was terminated and all employees at the location will undergo additional sensitivity training to ensure our customers always feel welcomed.

'America's Got Talent' Deaf Singer Mandy Harvey

Deaf singer, Mandy Harvey inspires America's Got Talent judges and earns Golden Buzzer.

LOS ANGELES, California -- America's Got Talent 2017, Mandy Harvey, Deaf singer follows her dreams and earns a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell with her original song "Try." The original video clip is already going viral in Deaf and Hard of Hearing community across the country and globe.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

In the clip, which aired on Tuesday night’s episode of the show, Mandy Harvey, a contestant, spoke through a sign language interpreter to one of the show’s judges, Simon Cowell, and described becoming Deaf in her late teens because of complications from a health issue.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

“After I lost my hearing, I gave up,” she said. “But I want to do more with my life than just give up.” She explained that after a period of not performing, she learned how to sing again by using tools such as “visual tuners”, and added that she performs without wearing shoes so she can feel a song’s beat through floor vibrations.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

She then broke into a song that she wrote, “Try.” The judges and some audience members appeared visibly shocked by her lucid notes; some could be seen wiping away tears. At the end of the clip, Mr. Cowell hit a golden buzzer, sending Ms. Harvey to the show’s next round. Music swelled as Mr. Cowell, known for his grumpy demeanor, joined Ms. Harvey onstage to tell her that her performance “was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and heard.”

The clip gained traction online after it aired, and was trending on YouTube on Thursday, where commenters showered Ms. Harvey with accolades. On Twitter, some users predicted her as the winner of the show. Celebrities including Tyra Banks chimed in:

Hey @MandyHarvey! You’ve got the world talking, and believing that yes, you can do anything! See you at the live shows, lady! #AGT --Tyra Banks (@tyrabanks) June 7, 2017.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

Though the show may well make Ms. Harvey famous, it isn’t the first outlet to discover her talent. NBC Nightly News profiled the singer, who has released several albums, in 2015, as did the BBC, this spring. And she has performed in prestigious venues including the Kennedy Center.

“I sing to encourage other people; that’s what makes me happy,” she told the BBC in its feature on her. “My passion, the whole reason why I sing, is so that I can say, ‘Hey, this is what I’ve done; I really hope that I can encourage you to do the same.’”

Deaf Japanese Tourist Denied Terp at Airport

Discrimination complaint filed after Deaf Japanese woman detained at Honolulu airport by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

HONOLULU, Hawaii -- An incident at the airport has the American Civil Liberties Union filing a discrimination complaint against a government agency.

The ACLU says a Deaf woman from Japan, who asked to remain anonymous, was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Jan. 31 shortly after landing in Honolulu, Hawaii.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

The ACLU says during that time, she repeatedly asked for an American Sign Language interpreter, but was instead forced to communicate by reading lips and writing.

During her overnight detention, the ACLU says she was handcuffed with her hands behind her back, which took away her ability to communicate.

“I was so scared and felt alone,” she said. “For people with deafness, being cut off from our ways of communicating is terrifying. I have traveled a lot, but have never experienced anything like this at any airport ever. With this complaint, I just want to make sure that other Deaf people coming through Hawaii’s airports are treated with basic respect and dignity, and that disabilities are accommodated.”

“The minimum dignity that you can afford someone is just the ability for them to communicate with you, and instead of doing that, they just denied her that right,” said ACLU legal director Mateo Caballero. “The ACLU’s complaint demands a full investigation and the training of custom and border agents so that other Deaf individuals do not experience the same traumatic detention practices as our client did.”

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman released the following statement in response:

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has received the complaint and will address these accusations once our investigation is completed. CBP takes accusations of mistreatment against travelers with disabilities very seriously. CBP officers receive extensive training in disability awareness and treat all travelers with disabilities with dignity, respect and professionalism.”

Deaf Woman Fights Miami Hospital For Terp

Deaf News: Deaf woman fights Miami Hospital for interpreter in Florida.

MIAMI, FL -- Next week, next month or maybe next year -- she does not know exactly when -- Cheylla Silva will need to visit her local hospital again. And when that happens, Silva, who is Deaf, doesn't want to struggle just to communicate with doctors and nurses as she has the last two dozen times.

Silva communicates in American Sign Language, and she says she has labored to convey and comprehend the most basic information at Baptist Hospital Miami because the hospital has refused to provide an interpreter.

Instead, she has been directed to a Video Remote Interpreting system or VRI for communication. But the remote video service crashes, the feed can be choppy and it's hard to see when she's lying in a hospital bed with tubes in her arms or when a medical team has crowded into her room.

"Why does everything have to be a struggle?" Silva, 34, asked through an interpreter. "I just want to be able to communicate like anybody else."

On Wednesday, Silva was in federal court in Miami to argue that Baptist Hospital's refusal to provide a live interpreter violates the Americans with Disabilities Act. She filed the case against Baptist in 2014 along with John Paul Jebian, a Miami man who also is Deaf. A U.S. District Court judge dismissed the case a year later but Silva and Jebian are appealing.

The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division also weighed in on the case, filing a brief in support of Silva and Jebian's claims, and urging the federal appeals court to reverse the dismissal by U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams.

The appeal centers on whether the remote video service -- which allows an interpreter to translate via video screen -- provides equal access and effective communication for a deaf patient as required by the ADA, said Matthew Dietz, an attorney with the Disability Independence Group, a nonprofit advocate for the disabled representing Silva and Jebian.

Dietz argued that system may work in some hospital settings, such as one-on-one meeting with a nurse or doctor, but it is ineffective and inadequate in others, such as during an MRI or X-ray, or during child birth or group therapy sessions.

He said Baptist's refusal to dedicate a high-speed, wide bandwidth Internet connection for the service also means blurry and choppy images, and repeated disconnections.

Deaf patients, Dietz said, "deserve to know what's happening to them."

Deaf Woman Found Burned On The Street

Deaf News: Police: Woman found burned on Dale Street in Rochester.

ROCHESTER, NY -- Rochester Police say that a woman was found burned on Dale Street on Sunday, and the incident is being investigated as a suicide attempt.

News10NBC does not normally report on suicides, but many people in the area had questions about what happened on Sunday in broad daylight.

Officers say they were called to a home on Dale Street around, where they found a woman on fire in a field located on a empty lot of the street.

The woman, reportedly somewhere between 40 and 50 years of age, was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital, where she is in guarded condition.

Tony Alonzo Thompson- a neighbor of the woman- was among those who found her. He was walking around the neighborhood when he found her, and immediately called 911.

"I'm trying to tell her, 'ma'am, it's gonna be alright.' I'm telling her it's gonna be alright. It's going to be alright.... but I'm crying because I knew her."

"She's looking right at," he said, "She's Deaf... and she pointed. She's naked, her pants are down to her ankles... and she was smoking."

Holly Mortensen, who lives across from the field where the woman was found, is still in shock over what happened.

"That's a little too close to home, that's my first reaction."

Mortensen was awakened by the police and firefighters that had arrived in the neighborhood, and when she looked outside, she saw one of her neighbors on fire.

"She wasn't moving, she was just laying there at the middle of the field," she recalls, "The EMTs put a respirator on her, or a resuscitator on her."

Fire and police have confirmed the event is now being investigated as a suicide attempt and that there is no danger to the public. Because of the sensitivity of the situation, News10NBC will not be releasing the name of the woman.

Deaf and Dying at the Ottawa Hospital

Deaf and dying: How a volunteer team brings palliative care comfort through communication in the capital of Canada.

OTTAWA -- The first experience Monica Elaine Campbell had with palliative care was helping a woman who had lost her ability to speak because of throat cancer.

Campbell, profoundly Deaf since birth, is an excellent lip reader and staff at an Ottawa Hospital asked if she could interpret the dying woman’s words. The woman had been communicating with paper and pen, but now was too weak even to do that.

“I was very hesitant. Then I thought, well, the least I could do is give it a try,” said Campbell, who is able to speak despite never having heard a word herself. “I put my hand on her right arm and said, ‘I’ve never done this before. I will try my best.”

WATCH: Video with CC - Ottawa Citizen.

Campbell leaned close as the woman mouthed her words. Campbell repeated it back and had the woman nod yes if she had understood correctly. She spent five hours with the woman, relaying messages between her and her family and the medical team. She was able to interpret about 85 per cent of what the woman told her.

“I came away a different person,” Campbell said. “I was very touched by the experience.”

The dying woman had not been Deaf, but the experience got Campbell thinking about the communication needs of people like herself: the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. A few years later, Campbell was asked to help a Deaf friend who was about to receive bad news about her cancer diagnosis.

“I didn’t know much about palliative care, but she was struggling with her terminal illness,” Campbell said. “I thought, my goodness, what if that was me? I thought, I should talk to my Deaf friends about death and dying and what our experiences have been.”

Those conversations led Campbell and her friend, sign language interpreter Christine Wilson, to start up the Ottawa Deaf Palliative Care Team, a group of volunteers that provide end-of-life care for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and their families. In 1999, she enrolled in palliative care courses at Algonquin College with two Deaf colleagues (the Deaf use a capital D to refer to the sub-culture of people who communicate with sign language; “Hard of Hearing” are those who have lost some or most of the hearing but can still use some speech, sometimes augmented with sign language; the “Deafened” or “Oral Deaf” have lost some or all of their hearing, but either learned to speak before their deafness or, like Campbell, learned to speak despite it...

Deaf Woman Killed in the DC Hit-and-Run

Deaf Woman killed in the District's Columbia neighborhood hit-and-run.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- District's Columbia police are searching for a black SUV that is believed to be the car driven in a hit and run early Tuesday morning.

Police say the driver hit and killed a Deaf woman early outside her apartment in Northwest, District's Columbia.

Police say the SUV was going north on 14th Street when it hit a woman in a crosswalk, killing a fixture of the neighborhood.

Jacqueline "Jackie" Cole, 54,was Deaf. She couldn’t speak well, but she made a statement.

"Always a happy-go-lucky person as far as I know," said neighbor Dorothy Sharpe.

WATCH VIDEO with CC on WUSA9.

Sharpe lives in Hubbard Place. Cole lived on the fourth floor. Early Tuesday morning, she was waiting at a nearby bus stop.

Mack Ferguson watched Cole get up and cross the street. That’s when he heard a black SUV accelerate before hitting her.

Cole was pronounced dead at the hospital.

"I hate to see anything like that. Right in front of me. Nothing I could do about it," said Furgeson.

Police are still investigating. Those who live there say it was only a matter of time.

"The message here is for people to slow down on 14th Street," said neighbor Mike Jay. "That's the message. And adhere to the crosswalk."

It's a plea friends say cannot fall on deaf ears, like those of Cole.

Neighbors say Cole lived alone. She had two grown children. Property managers say they’re still trying to contact them.

Police have their special Deaf and Hard of Hearing Liaison Unit on this case. You can text tips anonymously to 50411.
