Marine Scott Olsen Will Undergo Brain Surgery, And OccupyMARINES Are Making Demands
Business Insider ^ | 10/28/2011 | Robert Johnson and Linette Lopez

Posted on 10/28/2011 8:00:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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.

The fact of the matter is that the MSM has painted these people in a way that would make you think they are a bunch of leftists. Not all of them are.
The YouTube of this incident shows something else.
You have let the police and the police state mentality define what happened. The truth may something else entirely.
When our economic collapse comes then what?
It is entirely possible that there will be no monies to pay for police and fire protection.
Something significant is going to happen soon, way too much debt on debt. When and how I don't know but my belief is that before the next election we are going to see an event that will foretell our immediate future and it will be dramatic.

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.

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.

allowed these revolutionaries to get completely out of hand and the result was violence when the police were finally asked to enforce the law.

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.

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.

The guy who got hit was scumbag... and any "Marines" that are backing him are anti-American.

This stupid kid was running a Marine hate site. He was also posting anti-semetic stuff all over the web. Are these fake Marines really that effing stupid? Maybe they are.

So, the investigation determined it was the police? I remember reading somewhere here that ABC7 turned of all their news cameras.
