I'm confused. The guy's got long hair, but other than that he doesn't look particularly girly. Can anyone confirm this?
Yeah, that was my mistake. I said girl because the source of the link at that time said girl. Trying to get live information like this is a little chaotic, and details always get corrected over time.
On that same note, I've tried to find information about the four children who were supposedly taken into custody in the early morning raid, but haven't been able to find much. I consider it only a popular rumor right now. All I know for sure is that there was a tent set up as a sort of daycare at the occupation camp. A few people took it upon themselves to collect donations of toys and such and care for the children there. There were several children who, by the time of the raid, were fully living there. I don't know if they were homeless strays or what. At the general assembly following the raid, the founder of that child care thing (not sure what to formally call it) said that four of the children she'd been caring for were missing, and called for the crowd to bring her any information they had. That moment was caught on video and started getting passed around, and I think people sort of ran with it.
At least according to this blog by somebody who appears to have been there, the guy was taken to a hospital very soon afterward.
The Guardian has a blog set up for updates on Scott Olsen's condition. I didn't post it earlier, because I thought I'd seen a lot of hate for that news site around here. So trust only as much as you wish, but there appears to be a lot of information here. I haven't read through all of it.
Btw... most of my information just comes from searching "Occupy Oakland" on Google+ (make sure to hit 'Most Recent'), and following links from there.
And, when available, the official occupy livestreams or any other live coverage I can find, but I've noticed that more livestreams are going down lately and media are being intimidated or directly attacked before any police action.
