That's a very good question, Vicki. Even if he has health insurance, it
won't be enough to cover all his bills. He will be able to sue the City
of Oakland but it will be years and years before he will see a settlement.

I am interested in knowing if this young man, Scott Olsen, has health
insurance.
If not, I would like to suggest we find out if someone has started a
fund to help pay for his medical treatments and physical therapy.

Dear friends
As you may be aware, 24 year old Scott Olsen, a Marine lance
corporal who served two tours of duty in Iraq, suffered a skull
fracture when he was struck by a projectile fired by police
officers during the brutal police crackdown on the encampment
known as Occupy Oakland. At one point in the violence, when people
acting as medics went to help an injured protester, an officer
deliberately threw a flash bang grenade into the group.
Out of outrage and condemnation of these heinous acts, and in
solidarity with the call for a General Strike throughout Oakland
this Wednesday, November 2nd, the Occupy Durham General Assembly
has called for a march and rally from the Occupy Durham encampment
at Durham People's Plaza to the Police Headquarters on Chapel Hill
St., where we will give an update on Oakland, the general strike,
and other Occupy city encampments followed by speakers discussing
government repression within and outside of the Occupy Movement.
We also hope to issue a statement asking the police chief not to
issue orders to remove encampments in Durham - though the exact
language will be discussed at the Monday, October 31st, General
Assembly in Durham at 7pm.
We offer an invitation to anyone who would like to speak out about
government repression, and state sponsored violence against our
rights to speech and to freely assemble, to join us this Wednesday
at Noon for a March and Rally. Details can be found below and in
the calendar section of www.occupydurham.org
