EUGENE, Ore. (KMTR) - Tense moments for Occupy Eugene protesters Saturday afternoon when police and paramedics were called for a reported heroin overdose.

Just after four o'clock, protesters say a man in his early 30's passed out with a shallow pulse.

Protesters say two occupiers may have helped save the man's life. A registered nurse and a doctor came to the man’s aid shortly after he passed out, giving him CPR before on-duty paramedics arrived.

The man eventually regained consciousness and is said to be okay.

NewsSource 16 was told he refused to go to the hospital by ambulance, but, agreed to let Occupy Eugene members drive him there.

EugTeach - 2:37 PM 0 Votes Report User Three occupiers were mentioned in this story. One was the person who had allegedly overdosed, one was a registered nurse, and one was a doctor! So based on this article the majority of the protesters are medical professionals. Hmmm. Makes you wonder. Workin 4 U - 1:00 PM 0 Votes Report User I don't agree with them, their tactics and who do you think is going to pay for it?.....the taxpayer. Its ok that's what they want. They are not willing to get out there and look and continue to keep looking for work. I do hope the person is OK and gets the help he needs, even though it was a wrong choice to do the drug. Its about choices man...you make good ones you do well, you choose badly and you get the consquences you just need to be man enough to take it and not stand and say it was not my fault and blame everything else beside the one making the choice. Ricky - 7:46 AM 3 Votes Report User On another story I was taken to task for describing just who makes up the “occupy” group. I was told to “shut it Ricky, you don’t have any idea who we are”. Well, I think we have a pretty good indication of just what kind of demographic makes up most of your movement. rgl1345 - 7:23 AM 2 Votes Report User why bother??

One bad incident does not define Occupy Eugene. One thing the powers that be has been doing is pointing addicts that are always around toward us. We have had people get cab rides paid if they agree to come here to the occupy site. We ID such folks and stay with them until they realize they need to go elsewhere to do the drug activity.

We have had our organizational evolution, and we are running things fine. We have well trained peace keepers and eye and ears everywhere on site. People like myself who are known to be non-violent entities are involved in this and by and large things are running well, thank you.

Eugene is a far difference city then Portland even. It is made up of many multi generational people. Springfield is red neck, crankster gangster, blue collar worker land that runs conservative. Eugene is a college town with a very overwhelmingly liberal/ Democratic population.

President Obama won here greater then 5 to 1. We have a huge anarchist community of which I am a member of in good standing. Occupy Eugene will not be evicted from Washington/Jefferson Park as long as we remain this safe, clean and peaceful.

The real question in my mind of course is what tactics are next? How else do we get a message out and how will it develop?

As far as heroin ODs go, just go down to Tiny's Tavern on Blair and you will see the ambulances and EFD respond to lots of them in nearby Scobert Park. Old news, old story, not even the place is changed as Washington/Jefferson Park is land under a viaduct carrying Hwy 105 over the Willamette River to where it empties on W6th Street by the Jefferson 7 Eleven store.

There were ODs in that park before OE was there, and will be after we are gone. It's just a fact of life. I live here in this very area and grew up hardened to New Haven, Connecticut street life. There is nothing that goes on here that I have both seen and can handle.

Occupy Eugene is right outside my doorstep neighbor wise.
