Three 'Occupy' Bridge Bombers Enter Guilty Pleas | TPM LiveWire

Connor Stevens, Doug Wright and Brandon Baxter -- three men affiliated with Occupy Cleveland who were arrested in the spring for plotting to blow up a bridge -- entered guilty pleas on Wednesday afternoon. A fourth man pleaded guilty earlier this year, while a fifth suspect is undergoing a competency evaluation. All three pled guilty to "conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted use of an explosive device to destroy property used in interstate commerce," according to the Justice Department.

“The defendants today made a voluntary choice to plead guilty, the same way they made voluntary choices to try to detonate what they thought were explosive devices they had planted at the foot of a bridge," Steven Dettelbach, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, said in a statement.

“We are pleased these defendants have admitted to their intent to utilize violence, which threatened innocent citizens, to further their ideological views,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Stephen Anthony.

Well. That settles that.

For those keeping track, that's eighty percent of "Occupy Bombers" guilty and twenty percent possibly mentally incompetent to stand trial. Leaving aside the numerous other crimes, including accusations of rape, the so called "Tea Party terrorist" have yet to be fined for littering to the best of my recollection.
