“My name is Kelly Schomburg. I was protesting at the Occupy Wall Street march yesterday..”
My name is Kelly Schomburg, I’m the girl with the red hair in these pictures. I was protesting at the Occupy Wall Street march yesterday when I and several other women were sprayed with mace and subsequently arrested. Many have already seen the video, which has been spreading like wildfire over twitter, Facebook, tumblr, and other video feeds, along with hundreds of other photos and videos. This is my recount of what happened.
Handy tip: pepper spray is oil-based, so water helps, but not a lot.
If you’re going to get into a big civil disobedience action, take a bottle of water and a little Johnson’s ‘No More Tears’ Baby Shampoo mixed. It’ll cut the oil a lot better.
