[h=1]FBI: 5 Men Charged in Ohio Bridge Bomb Plot[/h]

Got 'em.

Good job, FBI.
 
Now these anarchists are pretty damn stupid....
 
They look rough:



I just got home and haven't really read much into this story, but at least one of them was an Occupy Cleveland protester.

My thoughts exactly. They look like a bunch of noobs to me.

On a serious note, good to see them dealt with.
 
You can tell by looking at them that these gentlemen had a well thought-out plan. Real criminal masterminds, right there.

Building a bomb and setting it off on a bridge isn't rocket science.

Uncovering an undercover FBI agent is a bit more difficult, apparently.
 
We can only hope the system shows leniency and compassion for these brave young men who were willing to do something in the name of social justice much the same as our teacher and sage Mr William Akers...
 
Read the FBI Affidavit. We here in Cleveland are VERY upset; we thought we were too small a target for terrorism and we have MANY bridges and far too few cops to watch them. There are believed to be other, active cells and it matters not what these guys looked like; had they succeeded, thousands would have died. They planned to time the explosions for heavy drive home time.

Please...don't ridicule our fear. It is VERY real. I listened to the evening news tonight for the first time in ages.....these guys got WAY too close to "succeeding" at their evil plot.

I thought about Oklahoma City, Ground Zero, the Pentagon, Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.....I thought things I imagine every Clevelander is thinking tonight. It's almost impossible to go anywhere here and not cross a bridge. One, Valley View, is famous for its length and the number of footers needed to support it.


Thousands of people use targeted Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge every day

So, $6,000 and a former criminal saved us, and while I thank the FBI, I shudder to think -- what if he had demanded $1 Million?

Occupy Leaders Apparently Involved in Bridge Bomb Plot, Suspects Named

Apparently two OWS organizers were involved in this: Brandon Baxter and Anthony Hayne. Bad PR for the OWS folks.

"Bad PR" will be the least of their problems. These guys will all do LWOP, and they'll be someone's bitch the rest of their miserable lives.

And personally, I don't want to hear any defense of the OWS Movement ever again. THIS is anarchy, and anarchy was ALWAYS their real goal, IMO.

**** you. How dare you.

Tonight, of all nights. You are a human with no humanity.

You are in my Iggy Bin -- enjoy the Gulag, asshole, because I NEVER want to read one more word written by anyone this cruel.

We don't have all the facts yet, but the FBI undercover apparently switched out the dynamite or whatever they wanted for harmless material. They ATTEMPTED mass murder, and they will die in prison.

This case has absolutely nothing to with entrapment, which is police actions that induce a law abiding person to commit a crime.

these things makes no sense to me, globalism (lowering of immigration and trade restrictions) IS anarchism. I have always suspected these black hooded anarchists are secret fronts for different organizations, probably the globalist corporations themselves as false flags.

I am unsubscribing now. My family could easily have been on that bridge; or a friend; or a neighbor. My kind and bright brother I adore; my daughter, who makes the sun rise every day. I'd never have survived their loss.

It is just too hard for me to discuss this more, and I have said what I think needed saying by a Clevelander tonight.

Thanks to Dittohead for starting this thread, and I hope you'll understand why I am bowing out here.

Disagree.... unless the Fbi said "you should blow up the bridge instead" etc. They would be entrapment. Saying "I can get explosives" is not. They could have always said ."nah, we just want the smoke bombs"..... but the didn't. Not entrapment
 
Good catch on the FBI's part.
 
Wait - those guys can't be terrorists.

They're not brown-skinned, middle-eastern, Mohammed worshipping, camel-jockeys wearing towels on their heads, and burlap dresses.

Surely there's a mistake.

I seriously hope the guy on the top left was going to do the wiring on the bomb, his eyes are looking in different directions. :lol:
 
sigh. violence is never a legitimate method for protesting this sort of thing. i hope they get the maximum punishment.
