Dem HQ vandalism suspect posts bail (The story gets even weirder.)

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

A 24-year-old suspected of vandalizing the Colorado Democratic Party headquarters is free on bail this afternoon.

The arrest of Maurice Joseph Schwenkler, known in some circles as the transgendered activist Ariel Attack, sparked chatter on a network of anarchist websites as friends today raised money for bail and legal fees.

Schwenkler was released on $5,000 bail and stands accused of felony criminal mischief for allegedly shattering windows at the Colorado Democratic Party headquarters in Denver with the help of a still-at-large accomplice.

Pleas on several anarchist sites such as Queers Against Obama and Infoshop News described Schwenkler as a "transgendered activist" who uses the name Ariel Attack.

Benjamin Yager, who said he posted the solicitation for the Free Ariel Attack Fund, declined to comment until he could speak with Schwenkler. He said the money raised will cover bail and legal costs.

So it looks like a democratic activist upset with Obama's stances on issues involving GLBT or a democratic activist trying to make it look like a wingnut attack. Very strange either way.

4. i'm sure she thought this would play well in the media. something to prove her point...

even if it took her to do the act she wished others would do but didn't.

again, i'm sure she thought this would play well in the media.

5. I guess the sign she left gives away the motive. You are most likely right.

7. some are not content to imagine the things they wish would play out...

some try to force the things they wish to play out based on their own volition.

this is nothing new.

some blame reagan for starting this. some blame hitler. it goes back much further than that.

this shit has been going on since pre-historic man strutted about.


and some will never see that...
