CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Anthony Hayne appeared to live for the Occupy Movement.

"Remember, we are the 99 percent," Hayne said in a recorded greeting on his home answering machine, referring to the push by a loosely organized groups in Cleveland and other cities against the financial elite.

The FBI arrested Hayne and four other men Monday evening, saying they had planted what were believed to be explosive devices under the Ohio 82 bridge over Cuyahoga Valley National Park as part of a May Day protest today.

The five men were “self-proclaimed anarchists,” who intended to detonate two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) under the bridge in Sagamore Hills, but had purchased the inert devices from undercover FBI agents, officials said. To read more about the allegations, see the affidavit in the DocumentCloud viewer below.

Hayne, 35, of Cleveland, had worked in construction and had a criminal past dates to 2000.

At the time federal agents said the planning for the attack had begun, Hayne was wanted by authorities for botching his probation in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, according to county and federal court records.

In January, Hayne pleaded guilty to charges of theft and breaking and entering. Judge John Russo placed him on probation for 18 months. Three months after the plea, Russo put out a warrant for Hayne's arrest.

He also served a year in prison on theft charges out of Medina County and attempted domestic violence charges out of Lake County, according to state prison records. He was admitted to prison July 31, 2007.

In 2001, he pleaded guilty to charges of receiving stolen property, theft and forgery in Cuyahoga County. He was sentenced to six months in prison.

They should be renamed the 0.000000001% because no one really cares.

The media pushed this and it fell flat.

Cleveland TV Channel 8 WJW led off with a news story about 2:40 into their 10 o'clock news today (Tuesday May 1st, 2012) showing an interview with alleged bombing co-conspirator Brandon Baxter at a March 2012 Treyvon Martin support rally in downtown Cleveland saying “ It's sick and disgusting that this happens. This has happens far too often! This is not the only case this has happened!”

If you're not a Socialist before you're twenty, there is something wrong with your heart...

If you're a Socialist after you're thirty, there is something wrong with your head...

Anthony Hayne is Thirty Five...

Why do you repeat that idiotic meme?

Were you a teenage socialist?
