Finger bitten off during California health protest

Finger bitten off during California health protest - Yahoo! News


THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – 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.




Uh oh... With all the left wing threads recently about shouting down a wheelchair bound woman at a town hall meeting. I am curious as to thier position of one of thier own, biting off the finger of an town hall protester?

April 2009 Right winger kills three cops after posting Glenn Beck and NRA videos about "FEMA Camps" and Obama wanting to take his guns away.

Poplawski bought into the SHTF/TEOTWAKI conspiracy theories hook, line and sinker, even posting a link to Stormfront of a YouTube video featuring talk show host Glenn Beck talking about FEMA camps with Congressman Ron Paul

That's great. Care to at least even make it look like you are trying to address the topic? :roll:
 
July 2008 Rightwinger walks into a Tennessee Church in shoots dead two "liberals"

A four-page letter found in Jim D. Adkisson's small SUV indicated he intentionally targeted the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church because, the police chief said, "he hated the liberal movement" and was upset with "liberals in general as well as gays

Wow...that's messed up. What has to be going through your mind to believe that biting someone's finger off is a good idea. Jeez, I don't remember war/anti-war protests breaking out in episodic finger removal. People need to chill out on this.

Or 7 reports for derailing and spamming vs. your lack of actual discussion of said topic. :2wave:
 
Perhaps people should examine why this is such an emotive issue for both sides.

Both are sad testaments to how divisive politics have fostered a visceral hatred towards the opposition, and how hatred serves no purpose other than to breed more hatred.
 
Ouch.........

Wikipedia said:
The Virginia Tech massacre was a school shooting consisting of two separate attacks approximately two hours apart on April 16, 2007, that took place on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. The perpetrator, Seung-Hui Cho, killed 32 people and wounded many others[1] before committing suicide. The massacre is the deadliest peacetime shooting incident by a single gunman in United States history, on or off a school campus.[2]

Liberal anti-gun policies killed 32+ people last year... Many more in previous years.


Hoorah!

The topic is "see how you guys like it, democrats!" I didn't bite off the man's finger. I didn't shoot anyone. It's terrible. How the hell is this a partisan issue? Have conservatives been inconsiderate regarding town hall meetings? Yes. Have Liberals been inconsiderate regarding town hall meetings? Yes.

Are you really arming yourself with arguments against our claim that the debate is no longer (and may have well been never) being civilly debated? You're right. So are we. Let's point ourselves in the right direction. Not our fingers.

So it was all fun and games until someone lost a finger? :lol:
 
that's just rubbish. no basis in fact.

No, not really.

Anti-gun policies are traditionally a liberal facet of operation.

Gun Free Zones were considered and created by liberals... therefore liberals are responsible for the deaths of many innocent children over the years and many innocent people over the years who were stripped of their rights to protect themselves by liberal policy making.



As for the OP, after watching some of the Santa-Cruz townhall meeting videos.. I'm beginning to think it's a good thing that the majority of the California populace is disarmed.

It's despicable. Plain and simple. The person that did it should be arrested and charged for some sort of assault.
