I think the above is a leftist roumor as there has been no press coverage on the felon aspect; something too delicious for the left wing press to let slide. Further, I think the roumor regarding closing the bridges is a hoax or false flag report by DOJ. It would be counter productive for a militia to execute such an event unless Occupy has become a "militia."
