If you personally are not deaf, that doesn't mean you're safe. Thugs that treat sign language as "aggression" will treat lots of innocent activities as "aggression". If their response to this is to beat people unconscious, they will beat up (and occasionally kill) lots of people. Which, of course, they do.
