Protester Beaten And Choked To Death Inside #OccupyEugene Camp



Dec 26, 2011 16 Comments ›› The Assassin

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — More than 30 people gathered for a vigil to remember a man who died after a fight in the Occupy Eugene camp.

Occupy Eugene leader Kristen Carpenter told KVAL-TV, “We’re sorry we couldn’t have stopped the violence in the system sooner.” She said the Friday night vigil was not just for 54-year-old Rich Youngblood of Florence but also for all victims of street violence.

Police said Youngblood was beaten and choked at the camp on Monday. Authorities are still investigating.

The City Council ordered the camp be disbanded. The Eugene Register-Guard reported that a handful of campers remained in the camp on Friday afternoon and nobody was being allowed in except for members of a designated cleaning crew.

    Well… they did just declare that they were going to resort to violence.. maybe the bell wearers should have specified to their idiotic tribe that the violence was supposed to be leveled against people outside the movement? These people are supposedly all over-intelligent gifts to society.. they cannot even get this right..

    It’s good for them to experience the violence of collectivism first hand. People tend to forget that collectivism *is* violence.

    Richard Youngblood was not a protester. He was not part of the occupy movement. The press release that I read stated that he was intoxicated and he came into the camp and picked a fight with one of the occupiers.

    RIck Youngblood initiated violence and the other party defended himself. This was a report consistent will all Occupiers on site who witnessed the event. It was an act of self-defense. Mr. Youngblood had a pre-existing heart condition. It was this that ultimately ended his life. He was also very drunk when he showed up on site. It’s a shame that calls for peacekeepers were drowned out by the generators which police forced on us to power the lights. Get your facts straight Pat.
