Five men have been arrested on suspicion of trying to use what they thought were explosives to destroy a bridge near Cleveland, Ohio, the FBI said Tuesday morning.

The group initially planned to "topple financial institution signs atop high rise buildings in downtown Cleveland." But the plot evolved into plans for using high explosives to destroy bridges or other targets, and the group finally decided to bomb the Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge, which carries the four-lane Route 82, the FBI said.

Among those arrested was Brandon Baxter who appeared in this story about OWS protests from last December:

Others listed show-up in bing-dot-com searches of news reports of past OWS events as well.

This sounds more like something a Tea Party Death Squad would do. I for one am shocked that a Tea Party Infiltration Squad has managed to make inroads into the otherwise pure and blameless Occupy Wall Street movement.

A Canadian was attacked and threatened by OWS activists in Seattle, some local TV station reports. Assailants yelled "Go Back to Canada!" and surrounded him and also yelled anti-Canadian slogans like "hoser." The angry man told an amused-looking reporter "this leaves me a real good impression of the States, eh?"

Other witnesses reported seeing other Canadians around the city targeted by roving groups who had declared they were "looking" for Canadians. It was unclear if they were "looking" for them to greet them warmly or for more nefarious purposes.

Due to ongoing concerns for the safety of Canadians, the Mayor of Seattle declared a State of Emergency this afternoon, activated the city's crisis bunker and ordered the police to begin confiscating weapons from people who appeared to be searching for Canadians.

SEATTLE - The Emergency Operations Center began a limited activation at 4 p.m. today to respond to ongoing public safety concerns in downtown Seattle.

Yeah, well, they need a little law and order. Those perceived threats and guesses could be dangerous, so why take chances? Just roll out the troops, I mean, police in order to make sure that no one gets hurt. Certainly, this will not exacerbate the situation.

Canada should probably deploy JTF2 in order to protect Canadians. Either that or annex Seattle and the areas north of the of columbia river. It's obvious Canada has a clear and real presence there and that American authorities are no longer able to maintain order.
