After being struck by a projectile at Tuesday's Occupy Oakland evictions, Iraq war veteran Scott Olsen is lucid and awaiting brain surgery.
The Guardian reports Olsen "responded with a very large smile" when his parents arrived from Wisconsin to visit him at the hospital. Medical officials say Olsen's able to write and hear, but is having trouble speaking.
Meanwhile, Oakland's Mayor Jean Quan who left town after authorizing the raid, has separated herself from the police. Quan said, "I only asked the chief to do one thing: to do it when it was the safest for both the police and the demonstrators."
Her interim police chief then denied his men had used rubber bullets or flashbang grenades. His goal, he said, "... isn't to cause injury to anyone."
In response to the police tactics, OccupyMARINES have issued a formal list of requests in Oakland. Whether these requests are pursued or met should be an indicator of how strong or extensive this branch of the movement has become.

So sad about the young Marine, but, he was hanging out in the wrong place with the wrong people. I wonder how the lefty powers that be” in the ultra-Liberal Oakland/San Francisco area, like catching hell from left-wing loonies? Buy stock in popcorn. This is going to be around for awhile.
Ref. your Post #14: That should be a Campaign Poster for 2012; for real. And the video of BHO making that ‘08 campaign speech should be played and replayed.
That’s an excellent idea.
You have a right to speak, you do NOT have a right to be heard.
Whatever cause you are promoting, I will kick your ass if you make me 30 minutes late for dinner.
Protest peacefully and unobtrusively all you want, but if you block my normal day to day passage, I’m gonna exercise my rights.

OWS just begging for a ‘Kent State’ moment.
LOL! Nice find :)
Just like Tim McVeigh’s service prior to his crimes, this dip$#!^ put himself in this situation, Marine vet or not. F ‘em.
So much in that 1 line. When the law-enforcers allow folks to break the law, the law breakers continue to push. And when the law-enforcers are pushed by the law-abiding to do something, it can get ugly...because the law-breakers have assumed that since nothing was done before, nothing should be done now. From parenting young children to dealing with illegal aliens and any other illegal activity - delays in correcting the wrongs hurt all involved.
Yep, he’s a real POS.
Dana Loesch has just outed this guy as a person who started a “I hate The Marine Corps” site.
He also expresses hate for Hebrews on his site.
This guy is an ass.
I notice they removed the GOP threat from their site, yet it is everywhere. I seriously doubt these so-called Marines.
So, the investigation determined it was the police? I remember reading somewhere here that ABC7 turned of all their news cameras.
