CLEVELAND, Ohio -- One of the five self-described anarchists arrested last week for attempting to blow up a local bridge signed the lease for a West Side warehouse where about a dozen members of the Occupy Cleveland group live.
In a one-hour recording of a Friday evening general assembly meeting of the group posted on its website http://occupycleveland.com/live-stream/, occupy leaders expressed concern about Anthony Hayne's name being on the lease, which strengthens his link to the group.
"We have a person facing terrorism charges on the lease of our warehouse," said one of the leaders. "If this gets into the media, it would be a disaster." [Yes, because the Truth has never been, is not now, and never will be the friend of the Occupy Movement. B.]
When announcing the arrests last week of Hayne and four other men, federal authorities described them as members of a radical fringe of Occupy Cleveland. the five remain in jail with court appearances scheduled for Monday.
Hayne, 35, of Cleveland, has a criminal record dating to 2000. He was one of five men arrested by the FBI and charged with setting fake explosive charges under the Ohio 82 bridge between Sagamore Hills Township and Brecksville Monday night.
An FBI affidavit said Hayne helped plan the bombing attempt. It also said he was one of a group that last Sunday picked up a duffel bag containing smoke grenades and gas masks, as well as two black boxes that the suspects thought contained bombs.
Joseph Zitt, spokesman for Occupy Cleveland, told The Plain Dealer Saturday that when they learned Hayne was arrested in the terrorism plot, the organization started working to get his name off the lease at the 3619 Walton Avenue property. [ROTFLMAO! Of course, because as typical leftists, they only worry about appearances. Occupy doesn't give a damn about supporting and harboring home-grown terrorists ... no ... but they sure as hell want to remove any official record of them after the fact, eh?! 
B.]
"The landlord said it would be fine to change the name. We're working that out now," Zitt said. [Hey, Zitt ... ever hear of the expression, "The horse has already left the barn."? B.]
Zitt said Hayne happened to be on hand when the organization leased the warehouse to store items and serve as housing for some members. [Yeah ... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! That's why you're desperately trying to move mountains to get his name officially withdrawn from the lease! Puhleeeeeeeeease! You Occupy morons can't think your way out of wet paper sack. B.]
"We needed a name on the lease, and he agreed to be it," Zitt said. "I want to stress that rent [$600 a month] for the warehouse was paid directly to the landlord. No money was ever given to Hayne." [Uh huh ... yeah ... right ... but where did he get the money for his dead-on-arrival bombs, eh? B.]
The group's income comes from contributions, it was said at Friday's general assembly meeting. [Contributions for rent ... any mayhem? B.]
Occupy Cleveland is thinking about moving from the warehouse. [Ahhhhhhhhhh ... really? Damn ... allow the facts be known and it ruins a perfectly good hideout for ya'll, now doesn't it?! B.]
During the general assembly meeting, one leader asked the group, "Is it just me? Aren't you uncomfortable living in a warehouse where a guy has been arrested for terrorism? I don't want to live in a place and have the FBI show up." [WOW ... just wow ... these effing Occupy morons don't give a shit that they had living, breathing, plotting terrorists in their midst ... no ... they're simply terrified that the FBI might show up at their rental property to shut down the violence they're planning to carry out. B.]
Another member said the group was having problems with neighbors near the warehouse, strengthening the argument to move. [What's the matter, ya'll ... your neighbors getting tired of the stench that's coming from your direction? Were they "rude" enough to tell ya to take at least one bath every month, whether you needed it or not? Don't worry, ya'll ... soap is actually your friend, believe it or not! B.]
At the meeting, the leaders ousted a man from the movement who is known only as "Crazy Larry" because he assaulted another member the night before. [Come on, now ... you guys are used to assaults ... sexual or otherwise ... that's old hat for ya'll, don'tcha know. B.]
"He thought the member had some information about the bombing," Zitt said. "He threatened and hit him. We threw him out, and as he left the building he smashed a window and sliced bike tires. He's not the kind of person we want involved with our group." [You mean the kind of person who suspects the group is aiding and abetting terrorists and starts asking questions, eh? Yeah, I can see where you would be inclined to discourage questions like that! B.]
Zitt said Saturday that Crazy Larry was upset about the bombing.
Zitt stressed the Occupy Cleveland movement is dedicated to non-violence. He said if they had known Hayne and the other four men were considering terrorism, they would have thrown them out. [Yeah ... "dedicated to non-violence" ... that's why your Occupy camps were plagued with assaults and rapes ... why you raged against the police and even assaulted them ... why you threaten violence against the "1%" and then define the "1%" as anyone who is not you ... and why some of your members have been arrested for attempted terrorism, eh? Yeah ... riiiiiiiiiiiiiight! B.]
"These people participated in aspects of the movement, but once we discovered what was going on we decided they could not be part of it," Zitt said. "I wish we had learned earlier." [Ah, Zitt ... you're such a lame liar. You didn't decide anything about whether or not these terrorist wanna-bes could be a part of Occupy ... they already were and you did absolutely nothing about it ... no ... it was the FBI that made the decision for you ... by arresting them, you dolt! B.]
At the time of his arrest, Hayne was wanted by Cuyahoga County for violating his probation. In January, Hayne pleaded guilty to theft and breaking and entering a Lakewood restaurant and stealing $2,000. He was placed on probation for 18 months. A judge issued a warrant for his arrest in April.
He served a year in prison starting in 2007 for beating his wife. [Wow, Hayne sounds like a stand-up guy ... given Occupy standards, anyway. B.]
