    AKRON, Ohio – Three men charged with plotting to bomb a highway bridge in Ohio admitted their role in the scheme Wednesday and now face a sentencing hearing where prosecutors will argue for up to life in prison while defense attorneys will urge leniency.
    The FBI has said the public was never in danger even though they say the target was a highway bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park between Cleveland and Akron.
    Connor Stevens, 20, of Berea, Brandon Baxter, 20, of Lakewood and Douglas Wright, 26, of Indianapolis, pleaded guilty to all three counts against them Wednesday in Akron before a federal judge.
    The fact that the three pleaded guilty along with federal sentencing guidelines mean the defendants will likely receive far less than the 30 years to life the government is requesting.

    The five men had been active with the Occupy Cleveland group. Organizers of the movement have sought to distance the group from the defendants.


    Warren also said that she supported the Occupy Wall Street protests. "I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,"


    The president also compares the protesters to the Tea Party. “In some ways, they’re not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the Tea Party," Obama says. "Both on the left and the right, I think people feel separated from their government. They feel that their institutions aren’t looking out for them.”

    But it wasn't too long ago that President Obama openly mocked the Tea Party movement:

    "Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around,["] Obama said, “let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.”

    The next story I'd like to read about these guys is how each was found in the showers with a sharpened toothbrush jammed in their ear and a smoking rectum due to friction.
