Man Bites Finger Off Health Reform Protester

The Thousand Oaks Police Department is looking for a man who bit a finger off the left hand of a counter protester at a rally over health insurance reform Wednesday night. It happened around 7:30 PM at a pro health insurance reform rally at Hillcrest Drive and Lynn Road that was sponsored by Move On Dot Org. Deputies say that during the rally a group of counter protesters showed up across the street. At one point there was a disturbance and it was during that disturbance that the pro reform demonstrator allegedly bit the finger off the left hand of a counter demonstrator. The 65-year-old male victim was taken to Los Robles Medical Center where there was apparently a effort to reattach the finger. The suspect fled and is still at large.

Man Who Had Finger Bitten Off Not Protesting Against Obamacare

Text size

The New York Post
September 4, 2009

Editor’s note: The corporate media is attempting to make the victim look like a hypocrite because he used Medicare at the hospital. As it turns out, he was not protesting against Obamacare. He lost the finger after punching a Soros zombie that got in his face. ( Soros funds MoveOn.)

“I didn’t go out to demonstrate my beliefs. I happened to be driving by and I stopped to ask people what their purpose was. I had no signs, I was not part of the demonstration.” — William Rice, 65, who had one of his fingers bitten off by a demonstrator at a pro-ObamaCare event organized by MoveOn in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

Comment by I811st on September 3, 2009 at 7:38pm: My friends Scott Michelle were there counter demonstrating with the elderly man who had his finger bitten off.
This is a summary of Scott’s account from the radio this morning:

The Obamacare supporter, who was on the side of the street with other supporters, came across the street toward the anti-Obamacare crowd and singled out an elderly man and proceeded to “get in his face” about his views. The Obamacare supporter then pulled the old man out into the street, unprovoked I might add, and then bit the old guys finger off while the old guy was just trying to get away. The old man then shuffled off toward a hospital.

I then went out into the street and found the old man’s finger. We called 911 and the dispatcher gave them the location to the nearest hospital which she said would be their best bet for finding the man. They rushed over and were able to find the old man and provide him with his finger. I went back to the scene to wait for police and gave the police the entire account and they tried to find the attacker amongst the Obamacare supports, but he had fled by then.

This is from Michelle’s account on facebook:

“The bite was clean, below the first knuckle. The finger fell into grass. Scott searched for it, found it, and then gave them the finger.”
