California authorities say a clash between opponents and supporters of health care reform ended with one man biting off another man's finger.

Ventura County Sheriff's Capt. Frank O'Hanlon says about 100 people demonstrating in favor of health care reforms rallied Wednesday night on a street corner. One protester walked across the street to confront about 25 counter-demonstrators.

O'Hanlon says the man got into an argument and fist fight, during which he bit off the left pinky of a 65-year-old man who opposed health care reform. O'Hanlon says the attacker fled but authorities have a good description.

According to the article it was a “he”, so I assume that means a “man”, but last week, that guy that vandalized the democratic office turned out to be a dem and a tranny, so all bets are off. So be on the look out for a “man”, but could be a tranny or post-op transgender human.

Since the guy is a supporter of giving away health care, maybe he will step forward and get to pay for the injury he inflicted on the other man.

A man was just on Limbaugh and he said he witnessed the incident.
He also found the finger and took it to the hospital so it could be reattached.
He also identified the biter.
The man said the biter targeted the older man.

Hope they gave the victim a rabies test.

Thousand Oaks is normally a pretty placid place with very little in the way of noteworthy violence. It's largely white and upper middle-class. Emotions must be running strong on this issue!

Exactly, why offer one finger, when all 5 in the shape of a fist would be much better.....

I would wager to say their was a camera somewhere looming over this area. What they probably need is a name to a face.
