Five suspected in Ohio bombing attempt plead not guilty
By Kim Palmer | Reuters – 1 hr 18 mins ago

CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Five men charged with trying to blow up a four-lane highway south of Cleveland pleaded not guilty on Monday in a federal court crowded with their supporters.

The five, Douglas Wright, Brandon Baxter, Anthony Hayne, Connor Stevens and Joshua Stafford, were arrested last Tuesday after allegedly paying an undercover FBI agent $900 for what they believed to be bombs, but were actually fakes.

The men, ranging in age from 20 to 37, had attempted to use the fake bombs to blow up a bridge on a four-lane highway in a May Day protest, according to prosecutors.

**SNIP**

In this case, the FBI paid more than $5,000 to an informant during an investigation that began in October after he met the five suspects at an Occupy Cleveland rally.

Based on #1 and #5 I think some hairdresser/s should be brought up on charges.

I doubt it. Then I’d be obliged to bring you up to my level. How would that help me?

I'll just assume that it's well past beer-thirty in your
time zone and you have no idea how stupid your posts sound.

I don't drink but here's looking at you, professor.

May I humbly suggest you re-read "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism", particularly the part about ego. You seemed to have misplaced the message that has resonated with students for nearly thirty years.

Ah yes, and don’t forget the license plates. Terrorist supporters usually don’t take buses to court. They live like parasites off their capitalist parents who they will shoot once the revolution begins, unless their parents are “old school” and loaded up on guns and ammo early on.

You couldn’t explain what that means if your life depended on it. ‘Ego’ in Buddhism isn’t anything like the Freudian definition you’re obviously using. But then you can’t even explain what you meant in your own posts. LOL

I’m sure they got a wealth of information on them all and combined that with any previous LE contacts they have had.

Glen Beck says that one of these five guys signed the lease for a house, where 12 members of the OWS were living.

With some police departments, you assume too much. Believe me, I know from experience. I hate amateurs.

I was speaking of the FBI which would have jurisdiction over crimes involving bomb plots and other terroristic threats.

Always remember and never forget; it's always beer-thirty somewhere in the world. ;^)

I have almost finished my morning's coffee so I might have a little nip myself pretty soon.
