Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen lays on the ground bleeding from a head wound after being struck by a by a projectile during an Occupy Wall Street protest in Oakland,Calif. Olsen suffered a fractured skull while marching with other protesters attempting to reestablish a presence in the area of the disbanded camp, said Dottie Guy, of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. Police Chief Howard Jordan says an internal reviewboard and local prosecutors have been asked to determine if officers on the scene used excessive force.

Scalp wounds bleed like mad. Once when I was cleaning at an establishment where I volunteered, I banged my head on the metal tip of an inward-opening window. It hurt a lot when it happened, but then it stopped a few minutes later and I went on cleaning. Some visitors came into the place where I was working to ask a question and I saw them staring at me oddly. After they left, I went into the bathroom and discovered that I had evidently cut my scalp, because blood had run out from under my hair and one entire side of my face was covered with blood.

I guess the visitors were too scared to ask me what had happened and just thought they were lucky to get out with their lives!

But in any case, I didn’t have a concussion or anything except a cut about 1/2 long at the top of my head.

Looking at that photo, I just think... HIV...

And before anyone jumps on me for not being sympathetic with someone who is wounded... I say, "Probably wouldn't have gotten wounded if he'd been at home or at work in Illinois instead of playing Obama Theatre Street Thug in Oakland."
