Facebook accounts, clearly listing their affiliation with the Occupy Cleveland movement.
Quote:
The Occupy Cleveland group confirmed it had an event called "May Day" scheduled for May 1 at the GE Lighting building in East Cleveland, but it said none of these suspects "were in no way representing or acting on behalf of Occupy Cleveland."
Here is the full statement sent by Occupy Cleveland:
"While the group arrested Monday evening by the FBI were associated with Occupy Cleveland they were in no way representing or acting on behalf of Occupy Cleveland or the event that was planned for later today at the GE Lighting building.

This thread is another classic example of how the radical right will flat out lie and make up complete garbage to push their horrific anti-american agenda.
Wake up and live in the real world. This screams of OWS and radical lefties.
No, they were not.
=============================
From CNN article:
According to the complaint, authorities were first alerted to the beginnings of the alleged scheme last year when an undercover FBI employee attended a protest group's event.
The employee was deployed, the complaint said, because of "an initial report of potential criminal activity and threats involving anarchists who would be attending."
During the event on October 21, 2011, an undercover FBI employee observed "four suspicious males with walkie-talkie radios around their necks," the complaint says. Some of the men also donned black masks while carrying anarchist flags and "acted differently than the other people in attendance."
The men were "constantly moving through the crowd expressing displeasure at the crowd's unwillingness to act violently," it says.
"During a briefing between protesters and organizers, the organizers explained who would be arrested, emphasizing that they wanted everyone to conduct peaceful civil disobedience," the complaint adds. "One of the original four men turned away and said 'f--- that' before the group of men walked away."
FLASHBACK: Remember when anarchists from the same vein made molotov cocktails and planned to burn police and Republicans with them at the 2008 RNC convention? In that incident, the same types of anarchists were willing to use any means necessary to prevent Republicans from exercising their First amendment rights and to prevent them from nominating their presidential ticket. Remember the "RNC Welcoming Committee?"
In the April issue of Townhall Magazine, we featured the powerful story of Brandon Darby ("Radical Awakening: From America Hater to Hero" by Matthew Vadum), the former hard-core radical who saw the light and helped prevent a left-wing terrorist attack on the 2008 GOP convention that had been plotted by his former progressive revolutionary cohorts.
What's that? You didn't know about the attempt by left-wingers to launch an attack on the Republican Convention in Minneapolis? I'll be darned.
Darby worked with he FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and infiltrated the liberal Austin Affinity Group. This organization, as we revealed in the magazine, "had joined with a larger coalition of progressive organizations that facetiously called itself the 'RNC Welcoming Committee,'" which "hoped to lay siege to the GOP convention that nominated the presidential ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin."
The FBI sent Darby to meet with anarchists who were developing their plan at a bookstore in Austin.
"It was a group of people whose explicit purpose was to organize a group of ‘black bloc' anarchists to shut the Republican convention down by any means necessary," he explained. "They showed videos of people throwing Molotov cocktails, and they were giving people ideas." ...
During a search of a residence, police found gas masks, slingshots, helmets, knee pads and eight Molotov cocktails consisting of bottles filled with gasoline with attached wicks made from tampons.
"They mixed gasoline with oil so it would stick to clothing and skin and burn longer," Darby told me.
I know. I have been using your PNG, I hope you don't mind. I find it funny that they won't acknowledge it! Thanks again for that wonderful find!
No problem .. I hope that it goes viral!
