Man Who Got Finger Bitten Off At Town Hall Talks To Cavuto

Health care reform protester Bill Rice tells Neil Cavuto how he got his finger bitten off by a "deranged individual" from MoveOn.org.

Rice admits punching the suspect after he allegedly calls Rice "an idiot." Then Rice threw another punch that "ended up in his mouth," at which point the suspect bit off the finger, which Rice says cannot be reattached due to "bacteria" involved in the incident.

Rice says he does not plan to sue, but jokes that he may need to take up "different piano lessons" after the confrontation. He also joked about having his bitten pinky finger "bronzed" so he could wear it around his neck.

Cavuto also asks Rice what he would do if he ever saw the suspect again. "The smart thing for me to do is turn around and run," he said.

He goes on to say that these health care reform town halls are about something "much more devious... I think it's nothing more than a diversion."

"Someone called me an idiot so I punched him twice and then he bit my finger off!"

Well, maybe you shouldn't have hit the man then. A man his age should probably know that actions have consequences. I think Mr Rice should attend an anger management course.

@TheNavigateur If someone comes at you and appears to be about to attack you, you are an *IDIOT* or you are in a coma if you don't respond. Try it on a police officer sometime and see what happens to you.

This poor guy got his pinky finger off because other the guy couldn't actually fight fair, he never was scolded as a child for biting the other kids in dayschool. He may have also pooed his pants and bit down because he couldn't control his adenaline and it was a rage.

gollum was at a healthcare ralley??

Self defense? That doesn't make sense, his punches weren't threw in rage but because the guy was getting up in his face. If he wanted the guy to stop punching him, he could have just turned around but he didn't need to chomp his finger off
