OCCUPY WALL STREET

MsMerrick · 10-26-2011, 08:01 PM

In Oakland last night, Scott Olsen, a former Marine, two-time Iraq war veteran, and member of Iraq Veterans Against the War, sustained a skull fracture after being shot in the head with a police projectile while peacefully participating in an Occupy Oakland.

Badly hurt
But the maybe even worse part, is that when people rushed to try and help the young man, lying badly wounded unable to move on the ground the police DELIBERATELY TOSS A FLASH BOMB INTO THE GROUP.
Oh yes, who's tactic is that?? Terrorist tactic? Wait until the medics rush in then throw a second bomb??
WTF is going on in this country..
The young man is in critical condition, with brain injuries.

old news from last week......

------------------
I was down at Occupy Oakland this evening.....came home before shit hits the fan and it will hit the fan around 10:00pm. The police had actually fenced off the grassy area where the camp was located. The rally was in front of City Hall with the fenced off area behind them. Well......of course the fence came down and was neatly stacked against buildings and on the grass....safety when the police come in with tear gas and flash grenades and rubber bullets (they say it's bean bags) was a concern for those taking down the fence.

I would guess the crowd size to be at least 1,000 folks by 8:00pm when I left with more coming in.

The word is that Occupy SF is being removed tonight and they were asking for non-violent support in the City.

And just in case you didn't know......there is an Iraq Marine veteran who is in critical condition in Highland Hospital (Oakland) with a traumatic head injury from a 'projectile' to the head.....

yes i am aware of what's happening with OO, i have a friend who is still down there. i saw the video of the marine, and photos, videos from my friend of the carnage the opd is wreaking on the people of oakland.. it's horrible. i'm praying people are safe tonight. unfortunately i am not as informed of what is going on with osf..(or ows for that matter) it's further away from home for me, but i am trying to stay abreast of what's happening.
