If you watched the footage from the police riot in Oakland you saw the wounded protester being carried away from the fighting. His name is Scott Olsen. He’s a US Marine who served two tours in Iraq. He has a fractured skull and is still unconscious. Oakland police shoot soldiers. .
“As of noon Wednesday, Olsen, 24, remained in critical condition at Highland Hospital in Oakland. A handful of friends, many of whom are also veterans of the Iraq war, stood vigil outside the emergency room door.
“They said they had been informed by nurses that he was still unconscious. Aaron Hinde, an Iraq war veteran who, like Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War, said Olsen was brought to the hospital by “two good Samaritans” around 8pm Tuesday evening and lost consciousness on the way to the hospital.”
