Scott Olsen is the Marine Corps veteran critically injured at Occupy Oakland Tuesday night, during a confrontation between the protesters and the police. The latest news is good: his condition has been upgraded from critical to fair and he is apparently conscious and able to respond to doctors and family members. I sincerely wish him a full recovery, and I also hope that a proper investigation is conducted to determine whether police misconduct is responsible for his injuries. But I ran across something this evening that may add a new dimension to this story. It has been widely reported that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. But apparently his opposition to the U.S. military and the Marine Corps in which he served runs a little deeper. The site is no longer live, but Olsen was the founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.com, a private user forum apparently dedicated to bashing the Marine Corps. Prediction: Attempts to portray this 'useful idiot' as a patriotic marine will fall flat.

There's nothing wrong with hating the military.
Considering suicides of active duty people is at an all time high, you have a point.

From all proud veterans of the US Military (the greatest fighting force in human history) let me be the first to say, SHOVE IT UP WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE, idiots.
SHOVE IT UP WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE, idiots. Just like Abortion.

Gaddafi had vowed to fight to the end and he did. The destruction of Libya by NATO jets was totally unnecessary. Can the people of the West and their leaders say that Libya is now better off in October 2011 than it was in March 2011?" Sirte as Fallujah. And how about those 13 Troops blown apart in that Rhino yesterday? Any comments, soldier?
They want it to poop all over when Momma takes it to the park. No free didees for a poor baby allowed in the wealthiest country on earth. GE's bottom line might suffer.
It's all so obvious. Which is why the police have to silence, clean(se) the parks (amazing how environmental the cops/elite have become;} the OWS. The light shone on the Top1%s status quo is unbearable.

The purpose of public parks for the last thirty to forty years is to provide a place for druggies and derelicts to do their thing as far away from the elite gated communities as possible. They just don't know how to deal with them being again used as public squares, which is what they were used for in the olden times, and which could be considered a forgotten but 'conservative' tradition.
