Because 5 OWS members just were. :-X
Five Arrested in Alleged Bomb Plot
The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested five suspects in the Cleveland area in a sting operation for allegedly plotting a bomb attack on a local bridge, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.
The suspects were self-described anarchists who formed their own group, according to one official. The official said that during the investigation, several of the suspects repeatedly complained that the Occupy Wall Street movement, which had spread to other cities from New York, wasn't violent enough.
The group's alleged plot isn't linked to this week's anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden or to any known terror group, officials said.
The group was arrested late Monday and the charges were unsealed Tuesday, which is May Day, a day of protest for many of those involved in the Occupy movement.
The charges include conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage property affecting interstate commerce. The suspects range in age from 20 to 35.
FBI officials said no one was ever in danger from the explosive devices, because they were inoperable and under the control of an undercover FBI agent.
Over a period of several months, officials said, three of the suspects formed the group and initially envisioned using smoke grenades as a distraction to topple financial-institution signs on high-rise buildings in downtown Cleveland. The group later decided to obtain plastic explosives to attack the Route 82 Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge, which passes over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court.
All five suspects are due in federal court in Cleveland later Tuesday.

Non-violent protests of success baby!
The unions may have bailed on the plan to occupy the Golden Gate Bridge, but the Black Bloc faction of Occupy got an early start as chaos erupted (including Molotov cocktails and chants of "f**k the police") during a direct action called The Strike Starts Early Street Party.
“Street Party” is an innocent sounding euphemism for a direct action on the street, similar to the anarchists describing the groups taking violent action to attempt to shut down the Republican National Committee as “The RNC Welcoming Committee”.
A crowd of about 50 protestors gathered at San Francisco’s Dolores Park, most wearing the now familiar black masks of the Black Bloc. Police were stationed at the perimeter but made no attempt to break up the gathering mob of mask wearing hoodlums. Then the group left the park and broke windows, threw garbage cans and painted anarchist symbols on street signs, businesses and cars in the area of Mission and 16th Street. The group was shouting “Fuck the police” and “Here, piggy piggy!” They were met by a phalanx of riot police, who caused the group to scatter.
The event was advertised on the website StrikeMay1st.com:
We call on our comrades from every corner of the Bay to descend upon Dolores Park, 8pm April 30th, for a ruckus street party to counter gentrification, capitalism, and the policing of our communities.
Everyday should be strike day.
They’ve stolen our lives. They’ve stolen our health. They’re taking over every inch of our cities and pushing us nowhere. If there is anything we have learned from the last six months it is this: May 1st isn’t the only day for striking, and isn’t only a day for workers. April 30th kicks off a string of actions in the Bay Area against all who would take our lives from us.
San Francisco, once a stronghold of the dispossessed, has become a playground for the rich and a living hell for those of us who can’t keep up or have no interest in capitalist relations. Homelessness, gentrification, racist police murders, the displacement of all that is queer, outrageous rent prices, our list is endless: it is time to reclaim our playground.
No word yet on whether any arrests were made.

ROFLMAO!!!!!
PWNED!
Seriously, ever since OWS the liberal train has derailed off the tracks into bullshit land. Its gotten really bad to the point where they don`t care for facts and evidence anymore.
When presented with either, they just pretend to be agnostic about everything or claim there is not evidence or make up some alternate conspiracy.
Its really gotten bad lately.

Watch, you will probably have some posts here claiming that they are not part of the OWS movement because they don`t have an eyewitness on record that can testify they saw them at Occupy Cleveland. Or, they will say, how can you be sure that they were part of OWS, you weren`t there. And on and on and on...

Don't these guys know that it was their boy Obama that gave their stated enemy, the big banksters, billions of dollars in the bailout? Don't they know it is their boy Obama that hires evil big Corporation CEOs that don't pay taxes like Jeffery Immelt of GE to be on his staff?
What ignorant losers. If they want to protest something, they should protest their own government

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, telling the Cleveland Plain Dealer in early March that he felt “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.”
Posts on Occupy Cleveland’s Facebook page indicate that Baxter was involved in helping the organization organize and advertise events as recently as February 2012. Baxter and two of the other alleged co-conspirators — Joshua Stafford and Anthony Hayne — list Occupy Cleveland as their “Employer” on Facebook, where the three list one another as friends.
http://ohio.mediatrackers.org/2012/05/01/fbi-busts-occupy-cleveland-members-in-alleged-bomb-plot/
So one of the five was a spokesperson for Occupy: Cleveland.
Curtain call, haha.
Watch, you will probably have some posts here claiming that they are not part of the OWS movement because they don`t have an eyewitness on record that can testify they saw them at Occupy Cleveland. Or, they will say, how can you be sure that they were part of OWS, you weren`t there. And on and on and on...
Too true. That's how it always goes down.

Terrorist Suspects 'Connected' to Occupy Cleveland; Occupy Tries to Spin
War to Mobilize Democracy ^ | May 1, 2012 | Editor
Posted on May 1, 2012 8:44:42 PM EDT by forty_years
Occupy Cleveland canceled a scheduled rally Tuesday after a group of men connected to the organization were arrested by the FBI. ...
newsnet5.com, Scripps TV Station Group, 5/1/12
These "group of men" -- terrorist thugs -- "...had planted what were believed to be explosive devices under the Ohio 82 bridge over Cuyahoga Valley National Park as part of a May Day protest today." Note that, "More than 13,000 vehicles travel over the bridge each day..." These guys wanted blood, and I emphasize that:
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. ...
Yeah, yeah... Keep in mind the mantra of everyone in prison which goes, "I was framed; I'm innocent." Here are some tidbits to consider:
... A member of Occupy Cleveland said he saw all five suspects at a meeting for the organization Sunday [two days ago]. He said he considered three of them friends and they never talked about anything violent with him.
Three of the suspects had references to Occupy Cleveland on what appeared to be their Facebook pages. Brandon Baxter, Joshua Stafford and Tony Hayne all said on Facebook that they worked at #OccupyCleveland and live in Cleveland, Ohio. ...
Listen to this liability-limiting, pseudo-legal babble:
... Bomb plot suspect Brandon Baxter came to a Jobs with Justice "spring training" event this year to learn about non-violent action, [Debbie Kline of Jobs with Justice, an "Occupy" organizer] said.
"When you're in a movement, you can't kick people out when they are volunteers," Kline said. "These five were acting on their own, they didn't have any part of the greater movement."
"There are 'fringey' people all over the place." ...
Actually, you can legally, "kick people out when they are volunteers" -- that is, if you have any moral scruples and take the time to write up an organizational charter. Most philanthropic organizations require would-be volunteers to fill out an application before they can start. The application usually lays out rules and regulations and has a termination clause. The applications are vetted by responsible organizations.
I had to fill out an application to volunteer for a county park system. I had to fill out an application to volunteer for the National Park Service. I had to fill out an application to volunteer at a local horse farm (equine therapy).
Here's a smattering of "Occupy" violence recorded today (communist, anarchist May Day, of course):
... In Oakland, police using tear gas confronted a protest of about 400 downtown. Nine were arrested and at least one demonstrator was reportedly tasered. Protesters blocked streets throughout the day and vandalized two banks in the area. A news van and police vehicle were also vandalized. ...
The evening before hundreds gathered in the Mission District. As the group began to march through the streets, some protesters began breaking car windows, spray-painting anarchist symbols on restaurants and attacking a police station. ...
Letters containing a white powder that turned out to be cornstarch were sent to various New York banks and media outlets, and one was sent to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, reports the Associated Press. ...
Mayor Mike McGinn authorized a seizure of potential weapons after crowds of vandals dressed in black and brandishing flag poles smashed up businesses like Niketown and a Well Fargo bank branch downtown, reports the Seattle Times. ...
Protesters also took out their anger at the U.S. Court of Appeals building, shooting paint balls at it, shattering glass doors, and attempting to ignite an incendiary device. ...
Bottom line: The "Occupy" movement is made up mostly of slackers who want government/corporate handouts because they're too lazy to work. Look at their protests. They don't do anything except lay around, maybe chant, and trash the areas they occupy. Now we find that there are violent, terrorist lazy slackers who are willing to commit savage acts of violence to get government/corporate handouts.

The federal probe that resulted last night in the arrest of five purported anarchists for allegedly plotting to bomb an Ohio bridge began last year at an Occupy Wall Street rally in Cleveland that was infiltrated by an informant who was directed to attend the event by his FBI handlers.
It was at the October 21 OWS event that the informant first met Douglas Wright, 26, who reportedly confided details of his group’s planned attacks “against corporate America and the financial system,” according to court filings.
Pictured above, Wright eventually served as the informant’s bridge to the four other men busted in the bombing plot--despite the fact that the quartet was “unsure” about the snitch for whom Wright vouched. Of the five men arrested, four were involved in the Occupy Cleveland movement, according to their Facebook profiles, a news story, and a federal criminal complaint.
Other highlights, as it were, from the U.S. District Court records include:
* As the alleged plotters batted around assorted attack ideas--like bombing a “Nazi/Klan headquarters” or blowing up a Federal Reserve bank--Wright joked that he would wear a suicide vest and blow himself up, “but advised he would have to be very drunk.”
* A local Justice Center was considered a good target, but a bombing there was rejected since the accused plotters believed “they would risk hurting inmates.”
* Wright suggested using Google Maps to figure out the area near the Cleveland-area bridge “where the bombs will be dropped and the get-away route."
* Defendant Brandon Baxter, 20, mused that if the plotters were caught, “they will all go to Guantanamo Bay” and not a “normal prison.”
* Baxter also “suggested getting tacks that they could throw out of the back of the car if they get in a chase.” This getaway tactic was last successfully used in a Batman episode from 1967.

Bridge bomb plot: Anthony Hayne lived for (OWS) movement, but some questioned his lack of...
Cleveland.com ^ | May 01, 2012 | John Caniglia, The Plain Dealer
Posted on May 1, 2012 10:50:28 PM EDT by Qbert
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Anthony Hayne appeared to live for the Occupy Movement.
"Remember, we are the 99 percent," Hayne said in a recorded greeting on his home answering machine, referring to the push by a loosely organized groups in Cleveland and other cities against the financial elite.
The FBI arrested Hayne and four other men Monday evening, saying they had planted what were believed to be explosive devices under the Ohio 82 bridge over Cuyahoga Valley National Park as part of a May Day protest today.
The five men were “self-proclaimed anarchists,” who intended to detonate two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) under the bridge in Sagamore Hills, but had purchased the inert devices from undercover FBI agents, officials said. To read more about the allegations, see the affidavit in the DocumentCloud viewer below.
[Snip]
Hayne, 35, of Cleveland, had worked in construction and had a criminal past dates to 2000.
At the time federal agents said the planning for the attack had begun, Hayne was wanted by authorities for botching his probation in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, according to county and federal court records.
In January, Hayne pleaded guilty to charges of theft and breaking and entering. Judge John Russo placed him on probation for 18 months. Three months after the plea, Russo put out a warrant for Hayne's arrest.
He also served a year in prison on theft charges out of Medina County and attempted domestic violence charges out of Lake County, according to state prison records. He was admitted to prison July 31, 2007.
In 2001, he pleaded guilty to charges of receiving stolen property, theft and forgery in Cuyahoga County. He was sentenced to six months in prison.

Cleveland Bridge Bombing Suspect Confirmed as Occupier
Copyright © 2012 Breitbart ^ | 05/06/12 | by Lee Stranahan
Posted on May 6, 2012 2:04:17 PM EDT by Behind Liberal Lines
One of the five self-described anarchists arrested last week for attempting to blow up a local bridge signed the lease for a West Side warehouse where about a dozen members of the Occupy Cleveland group live.
In a one-hour recording of a Friday evening general assembly meeting of the group posted on its website, occupy leaders expressed concern about Anthony Hayne's name being on the lease, which strengthens his link to the group....
"If this gets into the media, it would be a disaster."
