SEATTLE (AP) A downtown march and rally in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement turned briefly chaotic as police scattered a crowd of rowdy protesters including a pregnant 19-year-old and an 84-year-old activist with blasts of pepper spray.
Protest organizers denounced the use of force, saying that police indiscriminately sprayed the chemical irritant at peaceful protesters.
The Occupy Seattle movement released a written statement late Tuesday expressing support for "a 4-foot 10-inch, 84-year-old woman, a priest and a pregnant woman who as of this writing is still in the hospital."
Dorli Rainey is an activist who has supported liberal causes in the Seattle area for decades. A photo showing Rainey being cared for by fellow activists in the immediate aftermath of the police incident appeared on news websites around the world.
Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel said he didn't have specifics on the Rainey incident, but he said pepper spray is "is not age specific. No more dangerous to someone who is 10 or someone who is 80."
He added, that if it were harmful, "we probably wouldn't be using pepper spray if that was the case."

Funny how the pregnant teen and granny wasn’t bothered being in the middle of people who poop on the street and walk away without wiping.
Occupy Protester Caught Pooping on Seattle Sidewalk

pregnant, veteran MOH winners with horrific military wounds.
maybe they can borrow John F’n Kerry’s borrowed medals to throw at cops.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for them? I don’t.
They made the decision to place themsleves there, they must assume the consequences of their poor deciison making.
That’s how they roll. The hard core Commies started the Kent Staet riots and then split leaving the dumb kids and inncoent bystanders to be the ones who got shot. By the time it happend the SDS et al were long gone.
The police had no choice, not pepper spraying the old hippie would have been age-ist.
Too bad. If they had not been in a crowd of communists, they wouldn’t have been exposed to the pepper spray.
I thought commies liked sharing equally amongst all members of the collective.
These women should shut up and enjoy the fruits of their glorious revolution.
Spray all of them again!!!
Pregnant or elderly, it was their choice to be there.
Why does Chelsea Hubbell need to be carried? That fellow doing the heavy lifting looks like he could use a double hernia truss.
It could have been worse; at least they weren’t sexually assaulted by fellow “Occupiers”.
From the look of this photo, Chelsea's other dad was there, as well. Apparently, he hasn't learned much from the blue dress incident and his preferences have "matured" since the 90s.
Boo freakin’ hoo.
Well, the cops were acting like a band of mongols led by ‘Jenjiss’ Khan...
If they cannot run with the big dogs they should stay on the porch. Occupy is trouble, just stay away.
“Is it just me, or does she look a lot like Chelsea Clinton?”
I was thinking the same thing, isn’t that Chelsea Clinton and her hubby. lol
This kind of crap will turn public opinion in favor of OWS so fast it’ll make your head spin.
What are these idiots doing out there in the first place? Stupid is as stupid does.
Did anyone get the license # of the truck?

Meet Super-Fringe Mayoral Candidate Dorli Rainey

Thu., May 21 2009
She came to the states from Austria in 1956 and made her living as a realtor. But she also got involved as an activist for light rail, an Equal Rights Amendment (for women, a civil rights fight that rings eerily similar to the one being staged now for gays and lesbians), schools and homelessness issues, most recently working with the Tent City communities. She’s running, she says in an interview, because when it comes to things like Nickelsville, instead of supporting the project, “The police get sent out. We’re spending money to defeat the only temporary solution we have for homelessness.”
