I found this update on the*Veterans for Peace* website. They have
established a fund for him.

At 24 he is too young to be retired military. It has been a long time
since I was in the military, but health care ended when we were
discharged. I have not heard anything about him being a disabled
veteran. Recovery from head trauma could take a long time, and there
may be residual problems much longer. I doubt that he will have much
trouble getting a settlement from Oakland. There is at least one
recent precedent.

If he has military insurance he is covered at 100%. Tricare is good
like that. Too bad we can't all have that coverage.

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 <http://www.occupydurham.org>
