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.
A witness from the scene says a man was walking through the anti-reform group to get to the pro-reform side when he got into an altercation with the 65-year-old, who opposes health care reform.
The 65-year-old was apparently aggressive and hit the other man, who then retaliated by biting off his attacker’s pinky, according to Karoli from DrumsnWhistles.
The man took his finger and walked to Los Robles hospital for treatment.
I’m curious to know why the “pro-reformer” was walking through a crowd of “anti-reformers.” Sounds to me like the guy was looking for trouble.
Update: I knew there had to be more to this story. Turns out the man who lost his finger, William Rice, punched the finger biter in the nose after the guy got in his face and was yelling at him and calling him names. He punched the guy in self defense. Then the psycho ObummerCare supporter bit off his finger. They were not able to re-attach Mr. Rice’s finger.
