Schizophrenic Criminal Faker Making Meaningless Gestures? Hmmm …

Posted on | December 13, 2013 | 34 Comments

The Washington Post reports:

The sign language interpreter who gestured meaninglessly at the Nelson Mandela memorial in South Africa on Tuesday has faced charges of murder, rape, theft, breaking and entering, malicious damage to property and kidnapping, according to eNCA.com.
The South African news site said the outcome of the murder charge against Thamsanqa Jantjie, brought in 2003, was unknown because the court case file is “mysteriously empty.”
Many of the other charges against Jantjie, dating back to 1994, were eventually dropped, eNCA reported, because he was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial. . . .
The disclosures reinforced questions about how Jantjie managed to get hired to stand right next to many of the powerful world leaders who spoke at the memorial for the late South African president in a large stadium in Soweto. Leaders of South African groups devoted to helping the deaf pointed out that Jantjie was making arm motions that made no sense and said he was a fake.
Jantjie has said he suffers from schizophrenia and was hearing voices when he was on stage. He said that he saw angels, according to the Associated Press, and that he could be violent.

The People’s Cube is having wwaaayy too much fun with this one.

Donald Douglas remembers that there are 5 A’s in “RAAAAACISM!”

    I see the Secret Service vetted this interpreter just as thoroughly as the guy he’s interpreting. Wonder how anyone could tell the difference between the gibberish the fake interpreter was signing and the gibberish the fake president was spewing.

    Blaming this guy for signing gibberish at ab Obama speech reminds me of an old Alexis Gilliand cartoon:
