Candles surround a picture of Scott Olsen at a vigil in his honor at City Hall in Oakland, California, in this October 27, 2011 file photo. In downtown Oakland, California, where protesters affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement demonstrated on November 2, 2011, a makeshift shrine honors Olsen, an Iraq war veteran who has become an accidental symbol of their cause. Pictures of Olsen in his U.S. Marine Corps uniform sit next to images of him lying bleeding on the ground after being hit in the head by a projectile during a violent confrontation between police and Occupy Oakland protesters last week. Beyond the symbolism, the portrait of Olsen that emerges from numerous interviews with friends, relatives and childhood acquaintances is one of a young man whose personal journey reflects many of the complex economic and social dynamics that gave rise to the Occupy movement.
