I wonder what the motive was.

"Cody Balmer, the suspect arrested for arson after setting Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's house on fire on Sunday was reportedly angry with Shapiro after the state of Pennsylvania auctioned off Balmer's property."

Right. Makes for good TV soundbites, though.

Do you mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara Cody Balmer, that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth workin' for, worth fightin' for, worth dyin' for, because it's the only thing that lasts.

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.

Take bribes.

Or, are there sympathetic ‘moles’ on the inside letting them in to do the anarchy?

This guy evaded security like Thomas Crooks evaded all that security in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Who's teaching these guys covert tactics?

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.
