FC: Jim Bell-quoting Australian anarchist pleads guilty

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

Ohio police were looking for Matt Stephen Taylor/proffr/mattd regarding 
alleged threats posted to an Independent Media Center website against 
Steven Roach, the policeman whose shooting of an unarmed black man led to 
riots in Cincinnati.

But the Australian cops nabbed him first. The charges seem to stem from the 
vandalism of a McDonald's outlet in Australia and disobeying police/prison 
guard instructions. Matt reports that a U.S. Secret Service agent showed up 
at his arrest in Australia.
