[quote:dotnetc0d3r:MV8xNjkyODM3XzI3OTgwNTIwXzIxRjJCQkUx] clearly the government is loving this unorganized protest, it serves a dual purpose... re-enforce thoughts in peoples minds to accept and trust the current situation in the world and be led to doom - when others see attempts to change things fail and to give the mainstream media coverage of an event instead of covering the real news that will actually open up everyones eyes to the madness that is consuming the world. Occupying is non-sense. Why not educate the population about things like Social Security being a ponzi-scheme, that every older person in America that has been working hard to ensure a bright future for their families have been swindled and manipulated by lies. I would say the 11/11/11 march is a good idea but there's no motivation for action. The entire U.S. needs to be reminded about all of the B.S. going on and have their eyes opened. TV and non-sense has everyone in this fake world, eyes open but they have that blank stare, auto-piloted zombies. The only way some type of change will come in this world is from all out chaos which will wake up the people all at once or when the powers that be finally show their true agenda and everyone will be forced to fight for their freedom. Like the vets say, freedom isn't free.... [/quote]

Occupy Oakland: second Iraq war veteran injured after police clashes
Kayvan Sabehgi in intensive care with a lacerated spleen after protests in Oakland, a week after Scott Olsen was hurt. He says police beat him with batons
A second Iraq war veteran has suffered serious injuries after clashes between police and Occupy movement protesters in Oakland.
Kayvan Sabehgi, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, is in intensive care with a lacerated spleen. He says he was beaten by police close to the Occupy Oakland camp, but despite suffering agonising pain, did not reach hospital until 18 hours later.
Sabehgi, 32, is the second Iraq war veteran to be hospitalised following involvement in Oakland protests. Another protester, Scott Olsen, suffered a fractured skull on 25 October.
