“Occupy” Movement Was Infiltrated By FBI Informant In Cleveland Bridge Bombing Probe

The plot was already underway when the informant heard about it. They changed their target and method several times. There’s no indication the informant was directing them.

* 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.

Heh. Shows the intelligence involved with this group if idiots.
