Of course, the fact that she is pregnant is irrelevant sympathy-inducing propaganda. Nobody "shows" at 2 months, so the police had no way of knowing. Is pepper spray any danger whatsoever to the baby?
My bullshit meter is pegged. There are so many holes in this story...let me see....
An 84 year old who has been a community activist since the sixties just happened to be walking by the protest on her way to a meeting?!! ....and she somehow got sucked in - right up to the front of the mob?!! ...and got pepper-sprayed in the face but it didn’t make her eyes swell shut?!!
Bullshit!
Setup, much like the child put up infront of the protesters.
The question that no one seems to have asked: did she really get pepper sprayed, or did she just agree to have someone douse her with milk for the photo op?
Looking at the redness of her eyes and around them, I would say she looks like she was hit by pepper spray, but not too hard.
I would like to see a "before" picture before I said definitively. Some people (and at times most people would, especially allergy sufferers) have red around their eyes without being hit by an pepper spray, especially in cities where irritants come free with the air. Such persons would look like pepper spray victims if they had milk splashed in their faces. Another benefit of tear gas is the mucus running down your face, which the milk would wash off.
Good catch, Just. Lets keep an eye out for her at future leftist photo ops.
Thanks Responsibility2nd.
