Sherwood Camp , Protestor Seriously Injured
Col | 26.02.2004 20:23
Late last night one of our fellow protestors fell and was seriously injured at the sherwood protest camp , Rob a young lad in his early twenties lost his footing on a walkway almost 50ft up when he slipped on an icy platform , plummeting to the ground without any breaks in the fall , he has suffered multiple injuries
, broken bones and organ damage etc , he is currently in the operating theatre in the critical care unit at , {Kings Mill centre for Healthcare services , Mansfield Road , Sutton in Ashfield , telephone , 01623 622515) , where he is said to be in a stable condition ,
Rob has never really been accepted or felt part of anything in his entire life , he has spent much of his life being the victim and was so keen feel or be a part of something he took extraordinarily brave risks in helping to make the site more secure and really feel part of something , i think that is something many of the people in this movement can probably identify with at some point in their lives and i'm putting this call out for 2 reasons accordingly .
We had an informal discussion about it last night and we felt it would be great if we could swamp him with get well wishes from the many facets of the movement , as a show of solidarity and to make him feel that his efforts were widely appreciated by many others and not just those inside the camp , just to make him feel important and recognised would be greatly beneficial to his overall mental and emotional well being during the recovery period , so i am asking you to forward this to many enviro/eco/anarcho email discussion lists , forums , sites etc , around the world to ask you to send him a get well soon card , this small gesture from as many individuals as possible would mean so much to one brave warrior who fell in the line of duty and i ask all of you who can afford it to send him a card at the following address
Rob (Eco Warrior)
Ward 9
Kings Mill centre for Healthcare services ,
Mansfield Road ,
Sutton in Ashfield
England
Thankyou in advance to all who help
If you are unable to send a card pls email your get well soon wishes to
C_o_l@btopenworld.com and i will print them out and take them to him
The second reason for the callout is to source out some extra harnesses as we feel a No harness No Climb policy may be a better option in the future , (rob wouldnt have fallen at all if we had more harnesses), as we are currently so poorly equipped this would not be feasible at the present time , so anyone with spare harnessing or safety equipment pls contact me on the above email or phone 01159874636 ask for Col and/or leave a message , alternatively you could post it to the Sumac Centre , gladstone street , nottingham , but it may be possible that we could have it collected by traffic heading to from this site or nine ladies if you contact us first, pls label it if posting to sumac with , Mansfield Woodhouse Protest site.
thanks to all in advance who can offer assistance or get well cards
Peace

I spoke to him yesterday and though a squat or house is to be available to him for recovery , he is determined to return to site , when he gets out of hospital , i asked him what he would like to do , he said "i want to go home" , "where i belong" , though some people have voiced concerns about him returning in this condition , my personal point of view is it would be very difficult to argue against his returning after the commitment he gave to protecting the site , i think it's pretty safe to say i'm not the only one who feels that way , but site politics is site politics eh ! : )
Many thanks to the many people distributing this and who have offered support , equipment etc , your support will be greatly appreciated by all at the camp as well as Rob himself , it always warms me to see the unity that exists within the movement when shit like this happens , no one is forgotten , nice 1 to all of you and thx again in advance for your continued support
Peace and love to all
