On Sunday evening police announced they arrested 38-year-old Cody Balmer in connection with the fire set to the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion.
“Balmer will be charged with attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson and aggravated assault against an enumerated person,” Fox News reported.
...... Snip......
During a Sunday evening presser, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said Balmer hopped a fence before starting the fire.
“He actively evaded troopers who were here to secure the residence,” Bivens said. “While [law enforcement] were searching is when he attacked at the residence, broke in and set the fires.”
“So that was all playing out over a period of several minutes. It was a very quick event that occurred, and, and again, troopers were actively searching for him at the time,”

To be quick and blunt, he’s a lightweight ahole (D)
Right. Makes for good TV soundbites, though.
A teensy bit.
While it is a challenge to provide security for a human being such as President Trump, it is not a challenge to provide security for a building that never moves. Simply by the use of cameras and motion detectors, any and all movement onto the property can by detected 100% by motion detectors and viewed by properly placed cameras. There was no excuse for this fellow being able to get close enough to ignite that residence.
He won’t be invited back. That’s for sure.
“How can I become an “enumerated person”?”
Take bribes.
Or, are there sympathetic ‘moles’ on the inside letting them in to do the anarchy?
Not the same. This guy set off a breach alert when he crossed the fence, and officers started looking for him immediately. Within minutes, he broke into the house and set the fire, then ran off. He was caught within hours.
By contrast, the Butler shooter openly drove onto the rally site, openly climbed on a roof with a gun, and bystanders who saw him shouted to the police to alert them, but nothing was done. When the shots failed and the crowd was prepared to riot if Trump had been killed, a sniper shot the stooge on the roof. Who actually fired on President Trump? Still a mystery.
