“Genderfluid” Teenager Arrested After Allegedly Attempting To Burn Down GOP Office


Liberal extremism is on the rise.

A 19-year-old in Michigan who self-describes himself as “genderfluid” has been arrested for allegedly attempting to burn down a Republican Committee Office in Michigan.

So, what does “genderfluid” actually mean?

Well, I have no clue either, so I looked it up. By definition, genderfluidity “is an identity where someone’s gender changes over time. A genderfluid individual might feel like a man, a woman, both, or neither at different points, and their gender expression can shift accordingly.”

Upper Michigan Source broke the story and shared more in-depth details:

19-year-old Zayn Arcand appeared for his arraignment via Zoom Monday afternoon.

He is charged with manufacturing and possessing an explosive and arson.

The Iron Mountain Police Department said in a press release that Arcand tried to burn down a building containing the Dickinson County Republican Committee’s office in Iron Mountain on Saturday with a Molotov cocktail.

Building owners Ray and Barb Broullire say they’re relieved it wasn’t worse.

“We were very concerned,” Ray said. “Not to mention there’s people in this building. It was a Saturday, thank goodness. You know, that was a big plus. But yeah, when something like that happens, you just kind of expect the worst. We’re glad it worked out the way it did.”

Police say they were notified of a suspicious individual outside the Republican office who was attempting to light a rag on fire, sticking out of a bottle.

Law enforcement was able to identify Arcand thanks to security camera footage showing him throwing an unlit bottle at the building. Arcand was arrested at his home later that day.

The Daily Caller reported more on Arcan’s self-proclaimed identity:

Michigan police arrested a 19-year-old Saturday who identifies as “genderfluid” after he allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at a building housing the Dickinson County Republican Committee (DCRC) headquarters in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

On the YouTube channel “AtomicHavoc,” the person behind the channel identified himself as Zayn Arcand in a 2023 video. A YouTube video with a link to his SoundCloud says he resides in Iron Mountain, United States.

In a 2024 video, “AtomicHavoc” described himself as “EmoGothPunk,” “gender fluid,” “sexually fluid” and “ambiamarous” on his YouTube channel and has posted several videos attempting to explain his sexual and gender identities dating as far back as 2023.

In his most recent video — posted in October — Arcand said he identifies as “pangender” because “of how many genders are incorporated into that gender identity mix.”
