 Terrorism?

(CNN) — Three men charged with conspiring to commit domestic terrorism during the NATO summit were plotting to attack President Obama’s Chicago campaign headquarters, the Chicago mayor’s home and police stations, authorities said Saturday. A police investigation that began early this month revealed that the three suspects are “self-proclaimed anarchists” and members of the “Black Bloc” group who traveled together from Florida to Chicago to commit violence as a protest against the NATO summit, authorities said in a statement. “Black Bloc” was the group blamed for violence that occurred in recent “Occupy” protests, such as in Rome last year when anarchists in ski masks torched cars and clashed with police and even other Occupy protesters. The three men were planning to destroy police cars and attack four Chicago police district stations with destructive devices as a way to undermine police response to other planned actions at the NATO summit, according to a statement by Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy. Downtown Chicago financial institutions were also among the proposed targets, authorities said. An Illinois judge set bail at $1.5 million for each of the three suspects: Brian Church, 22, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Jared Chase, 27, of Keene, New Hampshire; and Brent Betterly, 24, who told police he resides in Massachusetts, authorities said. The three men were charged with material support for terrorism, conspiracy to commit terrorism, and possession of explosives or incendiary devices, authorities said. According to authorities, Church said he wanted to recruit four groups of four co-conspirators — or 16 people — and that reconnaissance had already been done on the Chicago Police Department headquarters. The three men also possessed or built improvised exposive or incendiary devices, a mortar gun, swords, a hunting bow, throwing stars, and knives with brass-knuckle handles, authorities said. In court, prosecutors accused the three men of preparing for “violence and destruction,” such as stockpiling Molotov cocktails. But a defense attorney called those accusations “propaganda” and contended authorities “infiltrated” a peaceful group and set up the three men. The three defendants stood expressionless in court, each handcuffed behind the back. A couple dozen of their supporters in the courtroom could be heard faintly scoffing at prosecutor Matthew Thrun as he called the defendants “self-proclaimed anarchists … making preparations for violence and destruction.” Thrun said one of the defendants could be heard planning an attack and quoted him as saying, “this city does not know what it is in for, and it will never be the same.” According to Thrun, the defendants bought gasoline at a BP station, cut bandanas for fuses, and had four empty beer bottles to be used as Molotov cocktails. Thrun told the court that Church made a remark while assembling the Molotov cocktails: “Ever seen a cop on fire?” Defense attorney Michael Deutsch accused authorities of “police misconduct,” saying undercover agents infiltrated a “peaceful” group. “They even bought the makings of Molotov cocktails and gave it to them,” Deutsch said in court. The judge set the three defendants’ next court date for Tuesday. On Sunday, NATO kicks off its two-day summit in Chicago, and the war in Afghanistan is expected to dominate discussions. Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistani President Asif Zardari are both expected to attend the meeting. NATO leaders are currently on a timetable to withdraw all of the alliance’s combat troops from Afghanistan in 2014.

The Tribe

The Cleveland Indians showed their support for the students and staff of Chardon High School today at Progressive Field. The team honored Chardon High during pregame ceremonies with an on-field parade. Then, Chardon Superintendent Joseph Bergant II threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Tribe took on the Miami Marlins. In addition, the Indians gave each student and staff member four tickets (4,800 total) to today’s game. The tribute comes nearly three months after 17-year-old T.J. Lane allegedly opened fire inside of Chardon High School, killing three students and wounding two others–one critically.

Today is "National I love Reeses day" so this is a holiday I will surely be participating in. :)

Woman and Toddler found Dead in Cleveland

Fox 8 — A woman and a toddler are dead following a strange series of events on Cleveland’s east side, where authorities say an argument led to a fatal stabbing that led to a fatal car accident. Cleveland Police Sgt. Sammy Morris tells Fox 8 News that, according to a preliminary investigation, the incidents occurred at approximately 9:10 p.m. Thursday when two women in a parked vehicle started to argue. Things got heated to the point where one of the women — Kimberly Black, 29, of Cleveland — exited the vehicle, went into her house and returned with a weapon. She then proceeded to cut Sharice Swain, 29, of Cleveland, several times to the face and neck. Black then removed her clothing. Black’s children, ages 1 and 2, joined their mother outside of the home located in the 3000 block of East 125th Street. Swain, seriously injured, was in the driver’s seat of the vehicle still parked in Black’s driveway. At some point, Swain stepped on the gas pedal, striking the two kids and a house. The children were transported to Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, where 2-year-old Kimshia Ruffin died. The 1-year-old, Taraji Ruffin, is currently being treated for injuries not believed to be life-threatening. Swain was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, where she expired from her injuries. Black, who fled the scene on foot, was later taken into custody in the area of East 123rd Street and Soika Avenue. After she was apprehended, Black was conveyed to Metro, where she was treated for a hand injury before being placed under arrest. She is now being held in the Central Prison Unit awaiting charges.

Bono "World's richest musician?"

(CNN) — According to a new report, Bono could wind up with the title of “world’s richest musician” when the stock markets close today. NME indicates that the Irish rocker is poised to surpass even Sir Paul McCartney in terms ofwealth – and all because of Facebook. Bono reportedly owns 2.3 percent of Facebook’s shares through his private equity firm, netting him a possible $1.5 billion now that the company has gone public. He supposedly bought the shares for $90 million back in 2009, and the company has grown mightily since then to be currently valued at over $100 billion. The $1.5 billion share Bono’s equity firm owns could make him more wealthy than the current – or shall we say former? – richest rock star in the world, Paul McCartney, who’s said to have an estimated fortune of just over $1 billion, reports Gossip Cop. And it appears that famously charitable musician Bono will only be adding to his wealth this year: his band U2 is said to be planning a comeback album and working on new material with Swedish songwriter Carl Falk, among others. A source told NME that the group’s “back in the studio getting a feel for new material after the last album, ‘No Line On The Horizon’. Will.i.am had a credit on that and they are looking to explore that direction further. They have been working with Danger Mouse and RedOne. They are excited about getting to work with Carl Falk.”

The Cleveland Division of Police Homicide and Accident Investigation units continue to investigate. The official causes of death will be determined by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office.
