Man has finger bitten off at Calif. healthcare protest


I bet William Rice will think twice before he ever "stops by" to ask anyone anything ever again. What is the world coming to? What happened to settling things with words? BITING...SHEESH... My parents always said you can not say anything nice to keep your mouth shut and go on about your business. I states that Mr. Rice stopped to just ask what was going on, I think he had to of done MORE than just ask to get a body part bitten off.
