Paramedics called to Occupy Eugene for alleged heroin overdose

He went into arrest and still refused the ambulance? Is this guy retarded? As an EMT myself I can tell you personally, that other than CPR, Doctors and Nurses are virtually worthless in the field. They're just not equipped to deal with the unknown given no fancy instruments and beds.

Did this happen right after the USC game?

A doctor and a nurse came to the mans aid... Guess not ALL the protesters are drum-circle hippies with no jobs, eh? Maybe some people who actually have brains support the ideas behind this protest.

First, I'm 61 years old, and despite having lived through the late sixties and early seventies era of drug tolerance and free love, as well as being a citizen of Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Charlotte I have never witnessed a heroin overdose. Not that it doesn't happen, but it happens most frequently to a select portion of the population. That segment is made up of those who don't work for a living and whose only visible means of support is that provided by social programs. That's the same segment that has gravitated to the OWS cause.

@renee: "So, someone is on drugs (which happens all over Eugene, as well as the country, every day)"...what a stupid comment. This sort of thing is happening all over the country at OWS protests, and the useful idiots like yourself blow it off as if it's to be expected. Do you morons realize that it just re-enforces the stereotype that if you couldn't protest, you would all be just a bunch of drugged up losers who live in your mommies basement, playing video games and complaining about stale potato chips. Actually, it's not a stereotype. It's reality for you losers. Your comment just proved it.

Why the military should be called in to remove ows and/or hold as prisoner’s of war as they have declared war on the US, fought, and claim as spoils of war their occupied territories. (A "Wiki to Expose the Wackies") http://movingthecheese.wordpress.com/

Another dead doper...who cares...

This is all about Free Speech. After all the gov’t (and their corporate cronies) censor the media and ban books like “America Deceived II”. Last link of “America Deceived II” before it is completely censored: http://www.amazon.com/America-Deceived-II-Possession-interrogation/dp/1450257437

A pompous "artiste" of the OWS swine crowd waxes Biblically, "oh, all ye stone-casters in glass houses." I'm impressed. This paragon of puffy prosody has duly learned the proper NEA eschewal of Capital Letters and properly placed comas. He/she/it seems to make an argument that persons who ever erred in anything anywhere anytime must not call spades spades for fear of being labeled hypocrites. But here is the truth. Discernment and discrimination among the good, the bad the ugly and the evil, the facile and, yes, the enemies of our country and what we hold dear, are good and proper things. OWS comprises the sick, the lame and lazy, the useful idiots of Lenin repute, the under-read, the ill-informed, the entitlement-sickened, and the ennui besotted losers of the left. They are communistic, dirty, smelly, drugged, union-thug supported whiners, willing to expend great energy raising hell for a good time and totally unwilling to expend a calorie doing an actual job. They do of this under a smugly self-righteous banner. They believe the Big Lie because it suits them. Darlings of Obama's and Pelosi's left, they make me sick. As I said, I'm impressed. I respect them. Only not very much.

What happened to the media's early attempt to compare Occupiers with the Tea Party movement???
