My friend and fellow occupier, Ellis, passed away in a car accident this morning

[Dragonbreathp9d]

He was my first frown I met through OccupyAustin. I'm devastated.

"IIt has been confirmed that three of our occupiers were involved in a fatal car crash that took place this morning. Harry Braswell and Clayton Neuman are both in severe comas and in critical condition and Ellis McClane has passed away. There will be a vigil tonight on the south steps of the capitol before and after the GA at 7:00pm."

1. I'm so sorry, both for your loss and OWS's loss

And for our loss, as well, since occupiers are the front line of a very important movement.

If I lived close, I'd be there.

16. He stood up for what's right...he was a man of distinction

any man or woman who gives time to occupy is A-OK in my book. May he rest in peace and may his family prosper in his absence.
He was one of us.......the 99%. Salute!

38. It is so sad. I am sorry . You are allowed to grieve.

In high school, 4 friend of mine died in car accident together. It changed me to see how everyone just got back to normal so quickly.

7 years later, my soul lover died in a car accident.
5 years later I married his brother.

Let your friends death soften you, open you. You have nothing to lose by being your self and loving what you love for how ever long you have.

You are welcome to pm me.

We must keep his memory alive during the hard times ahead of us. You are closer and your loss is that much greater and my thoughts, along with the rest are with you. That he and the two survivors were involved speaks volumes, for you and these young and old folks fighting on the front lines of history....god speed and god bless.

45. An update from Harry's mother

As i sit here in his room, he is slowly being taken off the meds that have put and kept him in a comma. He squeezed his dads hand, moved his foot and the doctor and nurse said he is doing better. He is still in serious/critical condition and your prayers are very much appreciated. Please continue to pray for Harry's friend in the next room and for the family of his other friend who did not survive. May God give them peace which has to pass all our understand

46. War takes many forms

It can even be fought without bullets, or even weapons, or even fisticuffs. It can be fought simply by resisting, and yelling.

[Vehl]

47. So sorry to hear this

and so young too. :(

[girl gone mad]

48. His words on Occupy resonate..

from the Austin Statesman:

"I see people growing and respecting each other more and more," said Ellis McClane , a 19-year-old online book seller. "It's a beautiful thing."
