If your so Gung Ho, why don't you serve your country ? No you would rather sit at home and call people names.

Are you going to argue a point? or are you going to devolve to saying that because I have not served my country, then my points are not valid? get real for a second. You have taken this one incident, and the person turned out to be a war vet (regrettably) and now all of us who are against what he was standing for are evil tyrants.

Actually you lost validity when you started to call people dirty hippies. When you grow up I will engage you.

I have given you arguments, and yes. A very large majority of the people that where at that particular occupy movement where hippies, communists ect, and the sanitation was deplorable..it actually became a public health concern. Regardless, I use one not so bright and happy term to describe the people at that protest (get over it) now your going to shut down, call me a child, and someone who hides behind the computer rather than join the armed forces? PLEASE give me something better than that.

It was illegal to camp there without a permit. They where performing an illegal "occupation" and whether there was homeless people there, I'm sure some where. However a good deal of them where not homeless, they where all equipped with cell phones, Cameras, Laptops ect.

A portion were homeless... but i dont know the count.
The issue is - this man is hurt.
His skull is bashed open and he needs prayers.

Yes, along with an illegal occupation of the land without a permit..along with crime and other such things.
A portion were homeless... but i dont know the count.
Homeless people need to follow the law as well.

Yes this is tragic, and he needs our prayers, however this thread wasn't really made specifically at him, its got an agenda against the police action taken.

This was not a prayer and support thread from the beginning at all.

I wish our country would do SO much more for our Vets ..... I absolutely support them, and their plight.
The thing of it is this "occupy protest/movement" doesn't have a "focus" except for "wallstreet greed". It is NOT focusing on the plight of our Veterans ... which go waaaaay back. It isn't focusing on the plight of our homeless veterans either.
And I think it's awful that a vet was critically injured in this situation. I also hate to say this, however, Oakland has been known for it's somewhat "agressive" behavior. [e.g. Oakland Raider fans - they come down here, and a guy was stabbed , among other things. And that's over football.] 
And yes, Michie. It was in the news that Acorn is funding the "occupy protest".
I would like to know "how" all this is helping. In reality, I saw a woman lose her livelihood for her and her family today as a result of the threats, filth and multitude of problems that were caused by these "camping protesters" and resulting in her losing her business. 
This whole thing is pathetic.
