In Prison For Plot To Blow Up Ohio Bridge…


Upstanding citizens:

CNN conveniently omits the fact that these guys were members of Occupy Cleveland.

(CNN) — A self-described anarchist who calls himself “Cyco” got an 11-year prison sentence Tuesday for his role in a failed attempt to blow up an Ohio bridge.

Authorities say the mohawk-wearing Douglas Wright was the suspected ringleader of the plot. He and co-conspirators Brandon Baxter and Connor Stevens set their sights on the Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge, officials say, which spans the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and carries a four-lane highway.

Baxter, a.k.a. “Skabby,” was sentenced to more than nine years in prison; Stevens got eight years. The sentences were announced in federal court in Akron, Ohio.

After an undercover operation, the FBI arrested the men April 30 in what the agency termed an act of domestic terrorism. The men later admitted their roles in a plan to remotely detonate improvised devices containing C-4 explosives. Authorities said the defendants had considered several targets during a period of several months before settling on the bridge connecting Brecksville and Sagamore Hills in Ohio, not far from Cleveland.

The men pleaded guilty in September to charges of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and use of an explosive device to destroy property used in interstate commerce.

They're lucky that the State didn't add in some additional charges of being in possession of a sh*tty haircut and looking like dweebs.

There is people who are from any movement that should not be part of any movement.
They might well be members of the occupy movement but that does not mean the
occupy movement endorses their actions. I for one am not an anarchist nor would I be
out on the street demonstrating. I do in some ways support some of the ideas not all and
not for the most part but I do support some.
I think business has overstepped the balance in world affairs and we need to reign them in
a bit. I also believe there is a lot of corruption in the corporate world like there is in the
political world. The occupy movement is not the answer however it must be said the bring
attention to the suspect actions that are gong on.
The problem with our society today left and right, is that both sides scream at the top of their
lungs. They do not however communicate with one another or anyone else. If we want the
average person to understand what is happening on any subject its time to render some old
fashioned respect for one another.
