''Genderfluid'' Michigan teen charged with attempted arson of Republican lawmaker's office
2025-07-17
[X] Answering all the questions raised in yesterday’s discussion.

Zayn Arcand was arraigned Monday afternoon after allegedly attempting to burn down a building housing the Dickinson County Republican Committee’s office.

A 19-year-old Michigan man has been charged after allegedly attempting to burn down a building housing the Dickinson County Republican Committee’s office with a Molotov cocktail.

Zayn Arcand was arraigned Monday afternoon via Zoom on charges of arson and manufacturing and possessing explosives. The attempted attack occurred Saturday in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

According to police, officers were alerted to a suspicious individual outside the building trying to ignite a rag sticking out of a bottle. Surveillance footage reportedly showed Arcand throwing an unlit bottle at the structure. He was arrested at his home later that day.

The Iron Mountain Police Department said in a statement that Arcand admitted to making the bombs in his driveway and claimed he threw the bottle to "send a message against the corruption."

Video of what appears to be Arcand circulated on social media in which he claimed to identify as "genderfluid," and "ambiamorous."

#5  Two questions remain unanswered.

Why would he throw that weak effort of a Molotov cocktail before it was lit?

Did he not consider the possibility that a security camera would record his little escapade?

I suppose the answer to both questions is that he's not very bright. But he made an effort so he gets a trophy for participation and his mother must be so very proud of him.
