Rusty Ackerman, Blind and Deaf:
“ I do want to live here. ”
Ackerman who lives at the federally subsidized Bayou Courtyard Apartments run by the non profit Deaf and Hearing Connection admits he challenges the organization.
Rusty Ackerman, Blind and Deaf:
“ Whenever they have a meeting I speak up, everyone else keeps to themselves the other residents then after the meeting they say I agree with you, then why didn't you speak up because they are all afraid. ”
Ackerman also alleges the Deaf and Hearing Connection which gets state money to help impaired people didn't get him the medication he needed which contributed to him going blind.
Ken Dandar, Ackerman's Attorney:
“ This is evil, this is outrageous. ”
But the agency says Ackerman's Attorney, Ken Dander is wrong. The Deaf and Hearing connection says it won't comment on specific clients, but it says in court papers, Ackerman is violent.
Ken Dandar, Ackerman's Attorney:
“ He's very heavy, has a bad heart, he can't smell, he can't hear he can't see, but he is a violent person I can't wait to see them make this argument in court.”
But Ackerman and his attorney allege that the deaf and hearing connection is taking action against him as a form of retaliation because he is trying to stand up for his rights as well as the right of other hearing impaired people who live at the apartment.
Rusty Ackerman, Blind and Deaf:
“ If I keep my mouth shut and I donut know how to complain then I'd be able to stay, but I'm not a robot. ”
A federal judge will determine if blind justice will side with a blind man who says he is standing up for his rights.
