Via The Atlantic Wire comes this photo by photographer Joshua Trujillo. Trujillo snapped a photo of 84-year-old Dorli Rainey, her face coated in pepper spray, being led away from the riots.

A former school teacher who has been active in Seattle politics since the 1960s, Rainey ran for mayor in 2009, but dropped out, saying, “I am old and should learn to be old, stay home, watch TV and sit still.”

The Atlantic also reports that a pregnant woman and a priest were also hit with pepper spray during a march on Tuesday night. More photos can be seen here.
