Five individuals — at least three of them involved in the far-left Occupy Cleveland movement — were arrested on April 30 in Cleveland in connection with an alleged plot to bomb the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad bridge. The FBI described the arrested individuals as “anarchists.”
Brandon Baxter, one of the alleged plotters known to his associates as “Skabby,” served as a spokesman for Occupy Cleveland
Brandon Baxter of Lakewood said he had no regrets for making sure people heard the message.
"I took the risk of getting arrested because I feel the powers that be, whoever they might be -- on all levels of government and those who hold corporate power -- are not listening because not enough people are actually taking a stance" against foreclosures, he said. "I was hoping that this would be a great way to get Cleveland more involved by showing the potential that a small group of dedicated people can have in making an impact.
Well...I guess they needed a more attention-getting tactic.....they found it today.
I'd say today went about as expected for the OWS movement.
Bridge bomb plot: FBI says Occupy Cleveland not under investigation ..
Any doubts on what Obamas appointee .. Steven M. Dettelbach, U.S Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio would be doing if these guys were tea party associates!?

CLEVELAND, Ohio – FBI officials today said that while the members of a group arrested in an attempt to blow up a bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park were also involved in the Occupy Cleveland movement, that organization is not under federal investigation.
"Let me be clear, the FBI and Department of Justice are not conducting an investigation of any specific group," said Steven M. Dettelbach, U.S Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. "We do not investigate movements or groups, we investigate individuals."
The Occupy movement is never identified by name in the affidavit filed by federal officials today, but interviews have since indicated that the five arrested had been involved with – and somewhat dissatisfied with – the Occupy Cleveland movement in Public Square.
Still, that the five men arrested were connected with that movement – including attending an Oct. 21, 2011, event on Cleveland’s Public Square – had caused ripples throughout the day.

Back in March.....who's lying again?
See, the MSM, who tried with all their ink and might to support and advocate for the OWS movement, is now trying to hide the connection to Occupy cleveland.

When are you ever right?
OR...you could take Occupy Cleveland's word for it.
Anarchists, OWS, lazy whiny violent brats , I don't care! If you decide to blow something up, and as a result hurt many people, to prove a point you are crazy and should be removed from society.
Are you defending these people?
In Chicago or Thurmont, MD (near Camp David where the G8 has decided to move)?
My family and I are going out of town regardless. They established that this morning.
They are radical lefties. This is what the left has become.
Yes and they are being emboldened by Obama and this is where we are now. Of course the media will play coverup on this as much as possible to hide all ties to the occupy lunatics. Now if it were some tea party lunatics it would be the headline on every national news show tonight with screams of how we need to stop the tea party reigning down from the left handed kooks running those networks. The true communists are crawling out into the light for all to see now.

Must really suck for liberals to find they have terrorists within their ranks.
