I guarantee this is the only time you’ll find these two doing something as working-class as swinging a hammer.

gender mutiny is the aborted fetus of the gender binarys heteromonogamous mating. our offspring, borne of wimmins semen and the menstrual blood of men, are blind maggots gnawing at the rotting pillars of Capitalism.
So they're socialist perverts.

The part I’m confused about is, is Ariel an XX being remodeled into a pointer, or an XY being remodeled into a setter?

I’m guessing the latter, as its birth name seems to be Maurice.

No. It's confusion by design:

Curiouser and curiouser.
You can't make this stuff up, folks. And get this: Ariel Attack is listed as a contributor at the blog Queers Against Obama...
Can this be real? They didn't fake this; they really are against zer0?
OTOH, the truth is not in them, and they have a long history of pretending to be against themselves.

Ha! Loved this part of the profile: “Not A Huge Fan Of

So vandalizing something in order to get the Republicans blamed for it is considered legit??? He/she is a prime example of fake and two-faced.

Mr. K. The DemocRat Chairperson has already been all over the news trying to smear the 'other side'. It was "the other side" that did it.
Mr. K., the chairperson, sits on one side of the desk, and gives orders to the operatives, who stand on the other side of the desk.
" This is your mission, if you should choose to accept it. If you accept it, and should be caught carrying it out, this organization shall deny all knowledge of you, and you shall...".

DENVER The suspect arrested Tuesday morning on charges of smashing 11 windows at the state Democratic Party headquarters is a transgendered Denver-based anarchist who goes by the name Ariel Attack, according to postings on numerous anarchist and radical gay-rights websites. A fundraising plea circulated by the self-described radical queer group Denver Bash Back! seeks donations to raise the $5,000 bail set for 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler, who is listed in the jail records and media under her birth name.
The postings asked people to NOT call the jail and potentially out Ariel, which would create a very dangerous situation, noting that Jail is a dangerous place for everyone, but especially trans people.
A hearing was set for Wednesday morning for Attack, who faces charges of felony criminal mischief, according to the Denver Anarchist Black Cross.
By early Wednesday afternoon, Attacks backers had raised the money for her bail, according to a spokesman, for Denver Anarchist Black Cross, but the group will continue taking donations through a PayPal account for what will probably be a protracted legal battle.
Police said another unidentified suspect in the vandalism remains at large. At least two hammer-wielding, bicycle-riding vandals were discovered smashing windows at the office at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, police said. Police said they apprehended Schwenkler after a brief chase.

Colorado Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak estimated damage at $10,000 on Tuesday after discovering the broken windows. The Democrats are also appealing for donations to pay for repairs.
Waak originally blamed conservative opponents to Democratic health care reform for the vandalism, pointing out that windows were smashed in front of health care posters, but walked it back when Schwenklers name appeared on a campaign finance document showing hed been paid last November by a Democratic get-out-the-vote organization.
Attack, listed as an occasional contributor to the Queers Against Obama blog, recently wrote a post blasting President Barack Obama, saying the repeal of Dont Ask, Dont Tell has nothing to do with gay rights, but rather is a plan to fill the US military with more queer bodies.
Heres the post identifying the suspect arrested Monday night as Ariel Attack and asking for help raising bail:
Ariel Attack, a Denver-based anarchist, was arrested at 2:27am Tues, 24 here in Denver for allegedly smashing 11 windows of the Democratic Party headquaters at 777 Santa Fe Drive.
Right now we are trying to raise the bail money for her to get out of jail; her bail hearing will be tomorrow at 10am Denver time. Several lawyers have told us to expect anywhere from between $3,000 to $10,000 in bail, and due to the high publicity of the case here in Denver, we are expecting higher (lead story for most all local news outlets, and being picked up by national news networks).
At this moment, we do not know Ariels status within the jail, especially regarding her gender classification. We have been unable to talk with Ariel since she went in. She is listed in the jail records and media under her birth name. We also do not know what plans, if any, she had made for this situation.
As such, Denver BB! and all of her friends and community are calling out hoping to raise the money to at least make bond. Jail is a dangerous place for everyone, but especially trans people, and we make every effort to get our friends and comrades out. We are also asking people to NOT call the jail and potentially out Ariel, which would create a very dangerous situation. Interaction with the jail is being done by people here in Denver in very specific ways to create the maximum amount of safety possible for Ariel.
People will be meeting up outside of the courthouse (14th and Bannock, across from civic center park) at 9:30 before going into court. All people are welcome.
Below is a link to the paypal account which will deposit money into the FREE ARIEL ATTACK FUND!!! Please do what you can to help get an amazing friend and comrade out of jail and back into her community. Also below are links to some of the corporate media stories about her arrest.

Dem HQ vandalism suspect posts bail

Denver police say 24-year-old Maurice Schwenkler broke 11 windows at the state Democratic Party headquarters on Santa Fe Drive. (Denver police)
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.
“Jail is a dangerous place for everyone but especially trans people,” Yager wrote on behalf of Denver Bash Back. “We make every effort to get our friends and comrades out.”
The Colorado Independent, a political news site, was the first to spot Yager’s requests for cash.
Bash Back is a group of radical gay, lesbian and transgendered individuals who began organizing in 2007 to protest the Republican and Democratic conventions, according to its website.
Schwenkler was arrested at a protest in St. Paul, Minn., during the Republican National Convention. He was among a group of protesters gathered on a city bridge who refused to leave, police there say.
In Denver, Schwenkler was paid $500 by a Democratic-leaning political 527 group in 2008 to canvass for a Democratic candidate.
But Tuesday morning, Denver police say Schwenkler, clad in a hoodie and latex gloves, took a hammer to 11 picture windows around 2:20 a.m. at the Democratic headquarters in the Santa Fe Drive arts district. The incident caused an estimated $10,000 in damage.
A party official said the vandals appeared to attack posters promoting President Barack Obama and his health care reform plans.
The Queers Against Obama site, where Schwenkler’s friends sought donations for legal expenses, boasts a banner quote that takes aim at both the progressive movement and Obama.
“You progressive ‘Obamaniacs’ can keep right on being the change you want to hope to see (or whatever Yes you can!), but we refuse to allow you to intimidate us into silence simply because you fear having your willful delusions shattered.”

Hell, I gotta say it, my lips hurting from biting on it smirking, Ariel's got more balls than most of the cyber-whinging vitamin D deficient Republicans who still think McCain isn't a Democrat shill.
There you go, feel better now.
