A health care rally gets violent.

Dude's got some crazy reaction time to be able to do that! Whoa...

[John C. Randolph]

Sounds like one thug learned not to punch people in the face.

[Xeones]

Government health bureaucrats have determined that finger reattachment surgery is not appropriately life-enhancing, and therefore will not be covered. Sorry, dude.

[Biter]

I was hungry for a finger sandwich.

[John-David]

So first this guy punched him, then gave him the finger?

[John teebone]

LOL, cant we all just get along??

I have mentioned it before, but if you ever need finger (or whole hand) reattachment, fly to Louisville KY (no matter where in the world you cut the finger off) and go to Kleinert Kutz Hand Care Center at Jewish Hospital.

[Lee Kelly]

And the state turns the beneficial exchange of the market into mutual conflict for access to power. It'll get worse before it gets better, because as they accrue more power, the more is at stake.

Which one was Dick Hoste?

Damn you X!

Beat me to it 🙂

Is this an example of the Lawbringer or the Cannibal perk?

"The pro-protester punched an anti-protester, a witness told KTLA.

A scuffle ensued. And the pro-protester had a finger bitten off."

Clear case of self defense. Funny how these pro-Obama folks keep hitting people.

[Some juan]

Conflicting accounts!

The second link says it was an anti-reform guy who had his finger bitten off and the fourth link says it was a pro-reform guy. The first link was too wordy, so I didn't read it.

[Anonymous]

I just noticed that I can't tell what any of these stories mean by "pro-reform" and "anti-reform". Because reform is getting rid of government intervention, not tightening it.

Reform would mean "doing it the way I want to," I guess, so I'm expected to understand the author's proclivities before being able to tell what "our side" means?

[I, Kahn O\'Clast]

And another person is forced to rely on the emergency room for care!

He turned it in to Rush Limbaugh for Good Karma.

So they've resorted to eating each other? Is it the apocalypse yet?

[DADIODADDY]

You're all missing the relevant point...how did it tatse? like chicken or pork?

Duh, its long pig. So obviously pork.

LOL. That would be Lawbringer. Sorry to go OT, but have you had Sonora run off, no where to be found? Happens to me every time. Maybe I can cash extra fingers in to HCAN at the next AstroTurf rally.

[ransom147]

first link, wordy as noted above, sez moveon guy was attacked and bit off his assailants finger. also the dipshit moveon twit who wrote it said it was a vigil...

why is it dipshit libs always hold so called "vigils"?

when did standing around in the street with your thumb up your ass; holing a sign in your other hand and a candle in your other hand become a vigil?

[SugarFree]

Pharos,

Sorry, I'm one of those OCD dungeon crawler types. I've never needed the money or the karma, so I've never taken the perk.

This link has some ideas on how to find her.

[aelhues]

As long as I interpreted the sludge correctly, the initiator lost part of his finger. If someone escalates a argument with me to punching me, they deserve whatever damage they get. This guy got away easy.

[Ska]

Does Limbaugh give you chems too, or just the karma? Or some caps at least?

[The Angry Optimist]

ransom - also, vigils are for specific purposes. Mourning an event, religious / spiritual events...

Usually some dumb airhead (overwhelmingly male) from the College Green Party will say "We're holding a vigil to mourn the death of a democratic America! The corporations like, killed it man!"

That's when they deserve to get punched in the face.

[John C. Randolph]

Haven't the SEIU goons that the lefties have been bussing in for these meetings been wearing orange T-shirts?

What if somebody used "fighting words"? When your own side did something wrong, there is always that to fall back on. Works for the cops.

[Tony]

I did something similar to my boyfriend the last time he punched me in the face, but it wasn't his finger I bit off!

[The Libertarian Guy]

Damn, SEIU's really taking off the gloves...

[ransom147]

see Tony, you should just stick to making jokes.

TAO:

re: also, vigils are for specific purposes. Mourning an event, religious / spiritual events...

exactly. there's also something to be said about progressives co opting religious type imagery and language...

[Warty]

The best thing is to not fast travel to the Regulator house, as there is an annoying tendency for Sentry Bots and Giant Radscorpions to spawn when you do.

SugarFree, are you an obsessive skill book collector, too?

[Bill]

I think it is impossible to bite off an opponent's finger while being hit with a closed fist (punch)that has any speed or force.

Let's have Mythbusters settle it. Watching Adam being repeatedly punched in the face with a ballistic gel fist would be Snickers-level satisfying.

[SugarFree]

Warty,

Yes, the long months before the DLCs started appearing, I got all the skill books, all the bobbleheads, all the schematics (to v3), all the unique weapons, all the skill-boosting apparel, etc. By the end I had 30,000 bottlecaps and a house busting to it's seams. (I didn't this with the wiki, of course.)

I keep playing Fallout. I think I'm on my sixth time through. Have you played Broken Steel? I love the Tesla Cannon.

[SugarFree]

"did this with the wiki" Jeez, I can't proofread my self worth a piss.

[Warty]

I'm currently playing through for the third time, this time on Very Hard. I always forget to keep track of what skill books I've gotten, but I of course have all the skill bobbleheads. I'm waiting to get all the SPECIAL bobbleheads until I get to level 30 and take the almost perfect perk.

I have the first three DLCs. Are the last two worth paying for? Stealing isn't an option, unfortunately, since I'm playing on an Xbox.

[SugarFree]

Zeta is very straight forward and linear, but you come out with fantastic weapons. Point Outlook is huge and more open to exploration. The Ghoul Mask makes Point Outlook a lot less hard. Damn Reavers all over the place.

[Warty]

I never get the Ghoul Mask because Roy Phillips rubs me the wrong way and I just kill him. The Stealh Suit and the shocksword make Reavers easy enough to deal with.

We have derailed.

Medicare paid for the reattachment. Just sayin.

😉

[Toawa]

Take this for what you will, but on the first hour of Limbaugh's program, someone called in claiming to be an eye witness to the event (more than that, actually, he went on to say that he in fact *recovered the finger* from the street), and that it was indeed the "anti-reform" guy who had his finger bitten off by the "pro-reform" guy.

[highnumber]

why is it dipshit libs always hold so called "vigils"?

I think they learned it from the dipshit cons who have been holding them for years.

[Mike Laursen]

It doesn't matter who bit whom. What's important is that the President needs to invite both of them over for a beer.
