THOUSAND OAKS -- A 65-year-old man had his finger bitten off Wednesday evening at a health care rally in Thousand Oaks, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff's investigators were called to Hillcrest and Lynn Road at 7:26 p.m. About 100 protesters sponsored by MoveOn.org were having a rally supporting health care reform.
A group of anti-health care reform protesters formed across the street. The finger-biting incident occurred after a member of the group protesting health care reform, William Rice, 65, of Newbury Park, became involved in a heated discussion with a member of Code Pink, sheriff’s Capt. Ross Bonfiglio said.
After the argument, Rice returned to where his own group was standing. A man from Moveon.org’s area then walked over to the opponents and verbally confronted Rice, allegedly calling him names and acting aggressively, Bonfiglio said.
Rice later told investigators he felt threatened by the man and punched him in the nose, Bonfiglio said. The punch set off a fist fight between the two men, during which the tip of Rice’s left pinky finger was bitten off, Bonfiglio said.
Rice drove himself to Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. Another man found the bitten-off portion of the finger and brought it to Rice at the hospital, Bonfiglio said. The suspect fled the scene, authorities said. He was described as a short man with a medium build, wearing a blue cap, black shirt and black shorts.
Sheriff's officials are investigating the incident.
At least he won't have to go on a long government waiting list to have the finger reattached, right?

ReplyDeleteMy pinkie, my pinkie, my kingdom for a pinkie but I guess he has that terrible Medicare a “Single-payer health care insurance” what a hypocrite. Did the little pinkie cried "Wee-wee-wee!" all the way home? It real should have been his right pinky finger that would have been a better story. They are haters not debaters.
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight...you want more of his fingers to get bitten off but he is the hater?
ReplyDeleteSo there is already some government run healthcare in the US...isn't it bankrupt?
So because some healthcare is government run, that means that any argument against a government takeover of the whole medical system is therefore irrelevant. Really?
Too much MSNBC? Or is it just that you worship the state. Or maybe you worship the state so long as "your guy" is supposedly running it.
He starts a fight where he lost a finger, you might worship hime, he might be your hero, not mine
ReplyDeleteHe's no hero of mine. It seems he shouldn't have hit the other guy. I agree on that, which was why I wasn't too sympathetic to him in the post.
ReplyDeleteHe should remember the meaning behind the Gadsden flag - never engage, but never surrender once 'treaded on'.
