Police Recently Taserized Deaf 20 Years Guy, then Died at the Hosptial

According to the WRC4-TV of Washington DC news report, the Frederick County's Sheriff Department taserized Jarrel Gray, 20 years old African American guy, who was deaf in one ear and died at the Frederick Memorial Hosptial. Gray was taserized which the sheriff deputies tried to break off the fight around 5am in Frederick area.

More info could be found at this WRC-4 website, www.nbc4.com or type WRC4 and DC or Jarrel Gray on any search engine.

No questions about Ridor aka Ricky Taylor of the "RidorLive" will be infuriated about the latest police brutality. Ridor eventually will say "Told You So!" on his blog.

Unfortunately about someone deaf lost his life to the senseless and illogical action by the law enforcement officers. Please send sympathy and support to Jarrel Gray's mother. who evidently is very outraged about this whole incident.

Marlee Maltin Neutral on CI Issues

Actress Marlee Maltin (MM)appeared on the iVillage syndicated show today (11/19) with Bill Rancic, former victor from Donald Trump's "The Apprentice" (2004). Rancic's blog said that the interview took the place on November 5, 2007.

Bill Rancic interviewed Marlee Matlin on the set of the "L-Word", Showtime-TV mature programming after the filming of final season episode(s). Rancic inquired Marlee Maltin about the CI issue. Maltin responded "I want to be netural on CI issues and doesn't want to get into this ....". MM managed to offer her own opinion that the parents of deaf youngsters ought to make a decision carefully whether the CI surgery is best for hir own children or not.

Hearing interviewer, Bill Rancic surprised Actress Marlee Maltin that he have his own sister, who is a certified audiologist. Maltin kept her own cool that Rancic tried to inject his own knowledge what his sister done with deaf children, blah.

Unforunately, there is no video clip from Marlee Maltin's interview. Nor taped this interview for the DeafRead readers within the RLMDEAF blog. So all of you out there, could draw your own conclusion from seeing the entire video clip of Marlee Maltin interview.
