Summary: Monday [October 1] marks the one year anniversary of Occupy Seattle. The group sprang up soon after demonstrations started on Wall Street. Within weeks, a protest in downtown Seattle grabbed the national spotlight. It focused on an 84–year–old woman named Dorli Rainey. When police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd, Rainey got a direct hit. A Seattle P–I photographer captured a striking image of her that quickly went viral. The photo shows two men propping Rainey up and pulling her from the crowd. She looks straight at the camera — her face dripping with pepper spray and milk poured over it to stop the burn. Rainey told her story to KUOW's Liz Jones about what happened that night.
