vertsk8er419 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Guy Fawkes day is coming up. aslo, tomorrow, october 27th, marks the day that new york documentary filmmaker, indymedia reporter, and humanitarian Brad Will was assasinated in the streets of Oaxaca Mexico by a plain clothes officer while reporting on a labor dispute in 2006. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxlwcfldxIw (15:33) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Will Traveling under a tourist visa, Will had arrived in Oaxaca in early October 2006 in order to document and film the teachers' strike.[5] On October 27, he was videotaping near a barricade erected by pro-strike protesters when he was shot twice. He died while being carried away from the area. Along with Will, two protesters – Esteban Zurita López and teacher Emilio Alonso Fabián – were also killed. Several others were injured. never forget.

digit Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 dude was hit in the head with a tear gas cannister, has a fractured skull and is bleeding profusely, and a bunch of protestors pick him up and start running around with him. i know they were just trying to help him but isn't it common knowledge at this point that you should never move someone in that condition?! what if all that jostling around drove a skull fragment deeper into his brain or worsened the fracture, etc... keep him still and go get help! there must have been paramedics in the area. also, why is it not illegal to fire tear gas cannisters into a crowd? this isn't the first time that someone involved in a protest suffered major brain damage after being hit with a tear gas cannister in the head.

kcinsu Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Apparently SF is currently being raided. All possessions left at the camp are being loaded into a trash compactor. Also, DHS agents have been spotted, so it sounds like they are indeed orchestrating this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 i really dont want anything to happen...protests are awesome n all...but.... im moved more towards activism the more this goes on. i mean its one thing to do debates and discussions on the matter...but this seems like an honest thing no matter what shady parts make the body up....i just saw the oakland GA called for a general strike...calling for students to walkout of schools, teachers to go on strike, labor unions now calling for a general strike in the area.. Homeland Security involved? really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 only garnering more support for the occupy movement.. really scary how out of touch these city officials seem.. If DHS is involved - it's not the city officials who are out of touch... Totally right though about garnering more support.

kcinsu Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Ok I can't find a straight story about SF... I was hearing last night that the SF raid was underway and that items were being removed and thrown in trash compactors. Now I hear this morning that the raid was called off due to a huge turnout of people, and the police backed down. Anyone have info? Ive found no news articles...
