Yahoo ^ | 9-3-09

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.

Lets hope this kind of BS does not happen on 9/12.

Obots are crazy nasty people. If I were this guy who got his finger bit off, I would request rabies shots.

Apparently the biter confronted the victim and the victim belted him a good one, knocked him down, and THEN waggled his finger in his face when he got up. At that point he lost a finger.

Since this happened just a few miles from my house I googled around. The story is very mixed up at this point as to what exactly what transpired and how. It'll probably become clearer later in the day. A couple of liberal bloggers are crowing that the victim will now have a chance to experience Medicare. Other accounts say the finger was sewed back on and the victim left the hospital.

Well of course he did. Obama’s thugs seem to like to push women and older folks around they don’t seem to mess with people who could hurt them. Typical bully who really deep down are cowards.

I would wager to say their was a camera somewhere looming over this area.

Imagine decent-quality video showing up on Glen Beck or some other reasonably neutral news show. Big thug with purple SEIU shirt on, biting finger off middle-aged gentleman as punishment for disagreeing. That kind of thing needs to be seen so that people know just what kind of idiots reside on the left.
