Deaf, Mute, Reverend?
Grass Valley, CA
At 2:01 p.m., a caller from the 100 block of Olympia Park Road reported possible fraud. There was no financial loss, but there was a deaf and mute reverend from Wisconsin attempting to buy flooring items.

And deaf-mute preachers aren’t allowed to buy flooring in California? I’d say this preacher has excellent grounds to sue for discrimination.

Civil Rights dispute. But what sounds strange here is why would he buy in Cali and ship it to Wisconsin? Or is he going to start YET ANOTHER religion here in Cali? But if you had to drive on these highways you’d be “born-again” too, like MOST everyone here, everyone KNOWS that if we go out and drive/ride on ANY street here we are with-in an inch of our life of getting run down by these MAD DOG drivers in Cali. I just so happen to be a wanna-be NASCAR driver in my poor little red Calavier. I just don’t understand it, when I get to 87mph my front end starts to shimmy! Who knew?

and I suppose the deaf, and mute preacher just bellowed out to the crowd, that thats what he wanted, was to buy flooring items… or, the point of view from the deaf, mute, preacher…. was… * ma’am, if you don’t wash away your sins… and get right with our lord…. your gonna go there * he says, pointing towards the floor… lol… ok guys, its almost 4:00am, I am on a caffiene rush and couldn’t resist..

OK, but somebody answer me this - How the hell does a deaf and mute preacher deliver the sermon? Oh, wait…maybe he speaks in tongues!

Come on GD. Certainly your familiar with the famous, “Aggahh! Gwaanna bizzwaap g’oompwah thhhhut!” sermon. Loses something in the spelling.
(Lord, forgive us both for that & bless all the little starving pygmies in New Guinea…Giter done!)

I don’t see the problem here, I mean, after all, all he was there for was some leper-d print carpet for the church’s new Holy Roller Vanogan. >;-)

Gosh! The poor guy goes on a mission trip (and who needs a mission trip more than our friends in Grass Valley) to help out the local poor and the next thing you know he is under suspicion for fraud. Must have been something he said.
Ritch/GD - I can just see this guy pounding on his bible vigorious mouthing what would otherwise be firery motovation and not being able to hear his parishioners saying haleluya! Kinda sad really. Or maybe its really just a vow of silence. You never know, ya know.
