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.

Comments from source 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??
LOL!! 'Occupy' protestors face new adversary: Mother Nature PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Wall Street protesters around the country who are vowing to stand their ground against the police and politicians are also digging in against a different kind of adversary: cold weather. With the temperature dropping, they are stockpiling donated coats, blankets and scarves, trying to secure cots and military-grade tents, and getting survival tips from the homeless people who have joined their encampments. "Everyone's been calling it our Valley Forge moment," said Michael McCarthy (aka Ferret Mike aka Corn Flake Girl), a former Navy medic in Providence. "Everybody thought that George Washington couldn't possibly survive in the Northeast." SNIP/
"OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work."
Wrong again Mammy. LOL
It isn't Mammy. It is Mommy. Learn how to spell. Also what is she wrong about?
A guy in his early 30s in Eugene, OR and/or a guy in Providence, RI are Ferret Mike. Can't you read? If I put you on bozo will you ban me again? You're the only one that gives me trouble here. Don't you think that would be a nice solution? You wouldn't have to read my criticisms of you and I wouldn't have to read your inane posts and comments - call it a twofer!
most definitely. :)
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.
Of course not. I just wandered if you had a first hand account of the incident and what you can offer. Do you want me to take your name out of the title? I'll read the rest of what you have to say now.
I'm on the other coast. That part of the country has many McCarthys in it. In fact there was another Michael McCarthy down the street from me in Clinton, Connecticut where i was from back there. Sherlock Holmes, you are not.
Sherlock Holmes, you are not. Hellooooo, Mike! I thought my sluthing was just fine , gotcha here, didn't I? &;-)
"OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work."
Don't include me in the decision process for how you do threads. Things are going well here. I have school work and other things besides this so I am not the best person for a day to day concerning the site. I am on the computer doing homework and saw this thread when I lurked for a moment. Eugene has a very long history with this sort of protest. As long as OE remains safe, clean and peaceful, it will be around a while.
Actually dip, I saw your high schooler grade comment once again trying to bait me with other McCarthys when I finished posting that long post. Why do you ask?
Well! With all the irons you have in the fire to save the world going at the same time, I couldn't help but wonder how many TREES there are on death row who need you....
"OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work."
I read through her post quickly. I thought it was you too.
He's right about one thing, there are quite a few Mike McCarthy's, even in Oregon.
"OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work."
There are many trees on 'death row.' And they heed more then just my concern. It's easy to scoff at people who care about something enough to put their live and limb on the line for it, but seriously, would you do the same? All of your time in here is dedicated to denigrating others, sucking up to whomever you feel the need to do so to, or passing off other's writing as your own, what is it you really stand for besides baiting and hating? You don't bother me with your antics. I truth I feel sorry for you that you have such an empty and banal existence you resort to such an on line presence. You being you is your problem, not mine. Cheers.
YES! I Would Mike, unborn babies...
"OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work."
How silly of me, of course you do. And I care...no..I really do! sarc/
"OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work."
Well! At least until all of you bone-lazy, parasitic street bums get some sort of taxpayer funded stimulus check for your efforts...

Pretty mindless stock response. I live indoors, I have a job, and I have never even had a credit card, never mind get something I did not earn. Perhaps you should worry about your own shortcomings instead of assuming only those you dislike have them.
Explain how 'Mammy' is derogatory. It is a very mild nickname, and I don't see you chiding about the use of 'Ming,' or any one of the various derogatory things routinely thrown my way by some in here. Not to mention Mammy's infamous thread accusing me of being other mike mcCarthys she had to beg you to delete she was getting so hosed a bout it, or the thread on a bogus account on another forum I had never used she tried to blackmail me on. I've archived all this. Want me to post it again to show what an insane POS skank she can be? I'd be happy to if you would like. I mean be serious Stonie, the woman has even whined to me about being too polite saying she doesn't like me enough to want to hear that from me. Frankly, the malcontent would complain if you hung her with a new rope. Sad but true.
Three cheers!
Wall Street owns the country…Our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags. The [political] parties lie to us and the political speakers mislead us…Money rules. Mary Elizabeth Lease, 1890
Why should I do that when you are perfectly willing to do that for me? LMAO!
"OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work."
http://www.salon.com/writer/glenn_greenwald/ Its difficult to describe, but the social construction of the camp has been part of the political movement, and our success has already been in declaring that ... middle class teachers, union workers, homeless people - even mentally ill people --- can inhabit the same political space as equals. The noecom bots are swarming ! Smolting salmon !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons are for girlie boys !
