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.
When someone from the pro-reform side crossed over to the anti-reform side, a fist fight ensued, which resulted in the man's pinky finger getting bitten off.
It's believed the man was on the anti-health care reform side.
He took his finger and walked to Los Robles hospital for treatment.
Police don't know who bit the man's finger off, but they're investigating the incident.
“The radical left is out of control.”
The radical left has been out of control for about a decade now.
Speak for yourself, most of us are NOT for health care reform, most of us are for tort reform, most of us are for competition across state lines for health insurance but we are not for health care reform. Any health reform bill they pass will result in and the final version looking exactly the way they want it. We don’t need it, what we need is the government out of health care. KIll THE BILL.
Democrat Bull O'Connor used dogs to intimidate folks who protested against segregation.
Now anti-social Democrats do the intimidating themselves.
might be time to organized a protection squad
After much confusion about this story due to misleading and contradictory media reports, here is the bottom line. There was a pro-Obamacare rally sponsored by moveon.org in Thousand Oaks, Cali. There were about 100 moveon.org thugs on one side of the street and about 10 anti-Obamacare protestors on the other side of the street. One of the moveon.org Obamacare thugs crossed the street and became confrontational with the anti-Obamacare protestors. During that confrontation the moveon.org thug BIT OFF THE FINGER of a 65-year-old man who was there protesting Obamacare!
If you go to one of these Obamacare protest rallies you best take a video camera and a weapon.
A witness is giving an account on Rush Limbaugh/Mark Steyn’s radio program right now.
The Pro-Bama protester was standing in the street yelling at them, and pulled the old man into the road.
THAT is when the fight began and the PRObama guy bit off the elderly man’s finger.
LAtte Times got it WRONG.
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
The caller to Rush’s show is the one who picked up the finger and they had to locate the man.
Pravda Media RULES.
“It’s believed the man was on the anti-health care reform side. “
That’s balanced!
Anyone, who goes to any of these meetings needs to be armed with video cameras and friends with video cameras.
Hannibal Lecters for 0b0z0care!
The radical left was bombing, kidnapping, and murdering 45 years ago. They’ve been WAY out of control. Bill Ayers committed treason. Even without a conviction on the Pengtagon bombing, he should have been tried and executed for crimes against the state.
The revolution has begun. It may sound stupid, but every revolution has an ignition point. The enemies of the people are moving fast appointing communist czars, passing laws to destroy the remnants of the free market, attempting to censor the free radio waves and the internet. Creating a hero worship for a leftist Kenyan, demonizing all who disagree. Their bully thugs are in the streets courting confrontations so their fearless leader can declare martial law. The state controlled media is trying to paint a one-sided picture of the people who are striving for their constitutional freedoms.
The socialists and extreme leftist feel they are firmly in control, they will not relinquish power without a struggle. Let’s hope we will be allowed to do so with our votes. If not it will only get worse.
A witness who picked up the finger and took it to the hospital to get reattached is on Rush Limbaugh’s show right now.
Pro-Obama “move-on.org thug bit off an anti-gov’t healthcare protester’s finger.
Who called out the union thugs for assistance in the first place?
Apparently there are conflicting stories out there... the TRUTH is that the pro-ObamaCare guy chewed off the anti-ObamaCare elderly man's finger. The pro-ObamaCare guy provoked the attack on the man who was standing with other anti-ObamaCare patriots. Witness said moonbat guy came over from the Obama rally, targeted the elderly man, attacked him and bit his finger off. Unreal.
The victim retrieved the finger and went to a hospital. There was no immediate word Thursday on whether doctors reattached his finger, or whether the man had health insurance.
