Related: About this forumreal or fake? trump supporter pepper sprayed UC Berkeley
So this video popped up on my news feed last night and it shows a girl being pepper sprayed at the UC Berkeley protests. It seems a bit fake to me. She seems to turn her head at just the right moment when sprayed, then when asked by the reporter she quickly turns and walks away, saying she is ok.
Having seen the effects of pepper spray, this seems like it was staged.
Thoughts...?

And yeah, it was a setup.

Somewhere there's a website where they are coordinating their plans...

She may be one of the outside anarchist agitators that Robert Reich spoke of. Check out the arm that comes in and sprays her. The person spraying has a black jacket and black gloves on. I am surprised the cameraman did not swing the camera to film the perpetrator.
I did a little investigation and found this Twitter page for Kiara:https://twitter.com/kiarafrobles

Lots of propaganda there, including an interview on InfoWars.
You can see someone took a cell phone video from another angle and she seems to turn her head at the right time to avoid the impact of the spray. Also, she does not seem to cough or choke when sprayed.
She also started a Twitter account in January 2017 https://twitter.com/anarchoass?lang=en. With that tag, she might be an anarchist.

(2,037 posts)Pepper spray overwhelms anyone coming into such close contact with it. It's also rather liquid, and not aerosol as was the case here.
The girl and the operative in glasses were in it together.

Staged incidents have long been a favorite tactic of these fascists.
