In other Occupy news, Iraq War veteran Scott Olsen has released his first public statement since being shot in the head by a police projectile during an Occupy Oakland protest nearly three weeks ago. Olsen has been released from the hospital but is still struggling to speak. A photo has also been released showing Scott Olsen smiling with a neck brace on and a scar on his forehead. In the message, Olsen wrote, “I’m feeling a lot better, with a long road in front of me. After my freedom of speech was quite literally taken from me, my speech is coming back but I’ve got a lot of work to do with rehab.” Olsen went on to write, “Thank you for all of your support, it has meant the world to me. You’ll be hearing more from me in the near future and soon enough we’ll see you in our streets!”
