Meanwhile, in Oakland’s city center, about three dozen tents had sprung up by Friday morning on the lawn where an Occupy encampment was razed earlier in the week. That mirrored action in San Francisco, where city officials had removed tents only to see them return.
“For every action there’s a reaction,” Saiid Shabazz, 35, of Oakland, said of the razing of the camp early Tuesday and the massive protests that followed. "The people are going to continue to use this camp as a training facility, an educational facility, a healing facility and a place to live facility.”
Olsen, 24, a Marine lance corporal who served two tours of duty in Iraq, suffered a skull fracture when he was struck during the Tuesday night protest by a projectile fired by police officers.
Highland Hospital spokesman Curt Olsen -- no relation -– said Scott Olsen was experiencing pressure on a lobe of his brain that controls speech, but “he is able to understand everything that is said to him” and can write. Doctors do not anticipate a need to operate and are optimistic about his recovery, Curt Olsen said.

sadly, I fear you are correct in that assessment..
They need some bodycount to take it to the next level and to get more recruits to sign on to their rudderless journey..
and of course, the media will be there every step of the way making sure that bodycount is front and center every broadcast.
funny, you don’t hear much about all the injured police officers from same, hmmmm?
Given all the new info that has arisen in recent years regarding the Chicago riots, Kent state etc, I’m pretty suspicious about this sort of thing anyway.
The useful idiots in the street may not be willing to martyr themselves but those leading from the shadows will sacrifice as many useful idiots as they need to.

Yup and unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a shortage of either at this point.
Maybe they’re not all quite Enemies Within class .. more like Irritants Within for most .. just need some flea spray and shampoo, get their teeth cleaned and shots current.. say it’s for public safety, round ‘em up.. we got camps sitting just waiting for indoctrination purposes for the truly belligerents.. they won’t even need their bedrolls and tents, it’s a lot cozier than Gitmo.
But mainly as a toilet facility.
