Occupy Seattle: Octogenarian activist Dorli Rainey on being pepper-sprayed by Seattle police, importance of activism

Eighty-four-year-old activist Dorli Rainey tells Keith about her experience getting pepper-sprayed by the police during an Occupy Seattle demonstration and the need to take action and spread the word of the Occupy movement. She cites the advice of the late Catholic nun and activist Jackie Hudson and her advice to “take one more step out of your comfort zone” as an inspiration, saying, “It would be so easy to say, ‘Well I’m going to retire, I’m going to sit around, watch television or eat bonbons,’ but somebody’s got to keep ’em awake and let ’em know what is really going on in this world.”

3. I'm so sorry she was assaulted, but what a woman!

What a woman. She was eloquent, intelligent, strong, focused, compassionate and outraged to just the right degree to make her point beautifully. And Keith was smart enough to sit back and let her make it.

9. Wow, Ms. Rainey is an incredible woman....

I think we all need to do what she is doing and has done for many years and that is to "take one more step out of your (our) comfort zone". She is an inspiration.

11. K&R. Thank you for posting this.

Wow, that's inspiring -- what a woman. People need to see this interview.

And hat's off to KO here. So many celebrity personalities who do interviews just don't know when to remain quiet and let your guest speak -- they interject/interrupt incessantly. Keith handled this one just right.

12. What a dazzling...

....smile and a beautiful soul.

Really glad Keith knew to just let her talk without interruption.

13. What an inspiration!

One of the things I love about Keith and Rachel is that they actually let their guests speak without interruption, and I'm so glad he just let this remarkable woman speak.

What a beautiful soul Dorli Rainey is and what a role model for the rest of us.

Thanks for posting this clip to share.
