First and Foremost: It is a shame that the veteran at "Occupy" Oakland was injured!
Law of nature has this little caveat that people that are in support of this movement would like to overlook: For every action there is a reaction. What keeps getting overlooked in all the reports of this event is that leading up to this incident was that rocks, bottles, and paint were hurled at the police. This is not excusing the fact that this gentleman who served his country was injured in the end, it only proves the point that this so called "Peaceful" protest is anything but peaceful in intention.
