3. 84 year old former school teacher hit by pepper spray...

Dorli Rainey becomes unlikely face of the Occupy movement

Dorli Rainey, an 84-year-old woman in Seattle, has become a face of the national Occupy Wall Street movement after she was hit with pepper spray during a march.
Seattle activist Dorli Rainey, 84, reacts after being hit with pepper spray during an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011 at Westlake Park in Seattle.

Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College in support of Occupy Wall Street. Many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police. Police then began spraying pepper spray into the gathered crowd hitting dozens of people.

caption: A graphic photo of the former teacher after she was hit with the chemical irritant went viral, becoming one of the most striking images from the protests that have taken place in cities across the globe.

"It's a gruesome picture, I'm really not that bad looking," Rainey said in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press.

The photograph shows Rainey, wearing a scarf and jacket, being helped by two people. One man is cradling her head in his arms as they walk away from the area.

[EFerrari]

14. She was terrific. And so was Keith.

[PufPuf23]

24. KO did good just letting her speak without much interruption.

Beautiful woman.

[Snotcicles]

26. Keith is a class act. nt

[tabatha]

27. Yes, that is what I noticed immediately.

Not like other TV - she would have been interrupted and not have gotten her story out.

[redqueen]

17. OMG how refreshing :)

I expected this to be about someone who caught your eye... not your mind.

To your excellent taste. :toast:

[ljm2002]

18. Yes, wasn't she grand!!!

She just kept talking and talking, making so much sense! And kudos to Keith, who let her talk without interruption. I mean, if she had been rambling, one hopes the interviewer will intervene and get the interview on topic. But she was just spot on with her comments, and Keith recognized there was no need to intervene.

It was a great interview!

[ceile]

19. Wonderful!

If only we could clone her...

[countryjake]

21. K&R!
