ARRESTED! Man Who Supplied Face Shield Masks To L.A. Rioters!

U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles, Bill Essayli, has announced "Alejandro Theodoro Orellana was arrested this morning by FBI Los Angeles on an allegation of Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders (18 USC 371) for distributing face shields to suspected rioters on Tuesday."

FBI Agents arrested Orellana, for distributing what appeared to be military-grade “Bionic Shield” face masks to violent demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles.

Orellana, an alleged member of the Brown Berets, a radical Chicano nationalist paramilitary organization with ties to far-left revolutionary groups.

The group, long known for its anti-police rhetoric and militant activism, has reportedly embedded operatives in several major U.S. cities.

Video from June 9 showed Alejandro Theodoro Orellana arriving in Downtown L.A. with loads of “Bionic Face Shields” — high-impact gear that some experts say mirrors riot control equipment used by law enforcement and military.  Here's the video, broadcast by FOX News in LA:

Still imagery taken from video, was used in an image search to try to identify the driver of the black pick-up truck delivering those masks:  

That image search returned this (seemingly) matching image:

The image above shows the man who is believed to be Orellana, at a Teamsters Local 399 Union event, "Teamsters for a Democratic Union."

Further searches also turned up this image, seeming to show the same man as part of a group calling itself "Brown Berets," a radical Latino paramilitary group:

A GOOGLE search reveals the "Brown Berets / La Causa is:

A paramilitary Chicano youth organization founded in 1967, primarily in East Los Angeles, modeled after the Black Panther Party.

Here is US Attorney Bill Esayli speaking to REporters at this morning's arrest:

If this young man is in a Chicano Paramilitary group, and is somehow related to Teamsters Local 399, then people have to ask themselves where the money might be coming from to buy this mask gear, so that the Rioters would be protected from Police pepper spray?   Is the money coming from the the Teamsters Union?

Inquiring minds want to know, especially in light of yet ANOTHER Union guy arrested in LA., David Huerta, the president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) largest labor union in California, for allegedly interfering with ICE agents in Paramount on Friday.

Why would an American Union or its members, be supporting illegal aliens, when the very existence of those illegal aliens inside this country, increases the Labor Pool (more workers available to work for cheaper pay), thereby putting Union guys out of work?

It seems to most observers that Unions supporting illegal aliens, would be putting their own Union members out of work!

Many questions; few answers - so far.
