It raised a lot of eyebrows when a truck appeared and started handing out expensive face masks for the rioters.
With the video of it going viral, it wouldn’t be long before the driver of the truck would be identified.
Turns out, the driver is Alejandro Orellana, who has been arrested.
Carson Krow brings up a great point. Will he release info about who’s paying for this?
Bionic shield guy, Alejandro Orellana, was arrested by FBI and charged with conspiracy to commit civil disorders.
He was passing out the masks “like candy” at the LA riots.

New York Post reports:
The FBI collared an alleged Los Angeles riot leader who they say helped distribute dozens of face shields to anti-ICE rioters on the streets of Los Angeles.
The FBI nabbed Alejandro Theodoro Orellana on Thursday morning. He faces a charge of conspiracy to commit civil disorders, US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said on X.
Essayli told Fox News that the riots “appear” to be “well orchestrated, coordinated and well-funded.”
“We have made it a huge priority to try to identify, locate and arrest those who are involved in organizing, supporting, funding or facilitating these riots that they’re going on,” he said.
“We want to understand who these people are and where these organizations are coming from,” he added.
Unsettling footage taken Tuesday showed dozens of protesters running toward a truck to grab the “Bionic Shield” face masks, footage shot by Fox11 showed.
Orellana is accused of driving the truck that delivered the face shields.
