Paramedics called to Occupy Eugene for alleged heroin overdose
Reported by: Chris McKee

EUGENE, Ore. (KMTR) - Tense moments for Occupy Eugene protesters Saturday afternoon when police and paramedics were called for a reported heroin overdose.

**SNIP**

Protesters say two occupiers may have helped save the man's life. A registered nurse and a doctor came to the man’s aid shortly after he passed out, giving him CPR before on-duty paramedics arrived.

Not to worry, I'm sure it was not a true "occupier", just some drug addict that happened to be in the area. /s
There is no proof that he is one of the protesters. /s

Come visit ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’ (Dane County, WI) Our kids and young adults are killing themselves in DROVES with heroin; it’s cheap and very potent these days. One and done.

I guess when you’re raised by Mother Government who only believes in the general destruction of society and incremental socialism, you’ll fall for anything...

*SIGH*

What’s worst is that a Nurse and Dr. choose to be with that trash.

Absolutely. I believe in social darwinism. Let the morons camp in the cold until the OD, die of infection, lice, plague, or get beaten to death by one of the crazy homeless in their camp. No one should lift a finger to help them because they hate the system so much. The world is better off with the OWS morons out of the gene pool.

This is the type of stuff that happened with the Tea Party. It totally ruined it. All of the crack, heroin, and mushrooms just made a mess of the whole thing. Not to mention the rapes and muggings....and the Jew bashing, random riots, vandalism, public defecating.

OWS should NOT COPY THE TEA PARTY LIKE THIS!

Perhaps those two are not only good professionals but also good Christians who consider (not without a reason) that those OWS people are mentally ill and need all the care they can get.

Worked a recent overdose death by the “hairon”. That was ten am. The ME told us it was her seventh OD of the day. Her day started at 5 AM.

It’s bad enough that some of the AUSAs in Illinois are going after the dope dealers for federal criminal death charges.

For a while on the south border you couldn’t get an AUSA to take a smuggling case if it was less than 500 lb. of marijuana.

The Fed threshhold on weed is still a hundred kilos or it’s a state case. They just let out 12000 former VIOLENT crack dealers because the threshhold on crack changed. The vast majority of dope dealers aren’t running around with an ounce of stone in their pocket.
