Cleveland bomb plot foiled!

FBI brings down a plot to destroy bridge and instigate attack on financial businesses in Cleveland.

Following the first video is a second, that I found quite interesting as well.

Whoa, either of those bridges would've been huge, and every commuter would've been part of a lynch mob.

Let alone the eco-damage the Rt 82 bridge would've done to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. These guys need to get with the program!

Homeless people, give me a break. Most won't do anything, although I'd bet they'd take the money and vanish

Now I can see vid but still no sound, dang.

If a bomb went off in Cleveland, would anybody notice?

Seriously though, I'm glad the FBI was on its game. What kind of @ssholes actually think such actions will actually accomplish anything?

The same kind of stupid kids blew up The Thinker outside our wonderful art museum years back.



I 'think' leaving it alone is great, it shows where these geniuses are at.

PS Finn the Lorain Carnegie bridge would simply knock down a bunch of closed factories

Anti-government, anti-bank Anarchists, apparently.

The FBI has tied them directly to the Occupy Cleveland movement.

Right, and of course the Fumbling Bunch of Incompetents never makes a mistake.

Who in their right mind would want to occupy Cleveland? Last time I was there, visiting a company across from Case Western what we drove through from downtown looked like some of the cities in Europe after WW II.
