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.

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/
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.
