Pennsylvania State Police have arrested a Harrisburg man for the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family that sent them fleeing from the governor’s residence on the first night of Passover.
Cody Balmer, 38, of Harrisburg, is expected to face charges of attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault against an enumerated person, authorities said.
Shapiro, who is Jewish, became visible emotional as he spoke about the 2 a.m. attack on his home as he and his family slept inside.
“If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community, who joined us for a Passover Seder in that room last night, hear me on this: we celebrated our faith last night, proudly and in a few hours, we will celebrate our second Seder of Passover,” he said.

I think he looks like the singer Peter Yarrow in Peter, Paul and Mary in the old days.
An amazing photo array of the fire damage done. I thought it would be alittle fire put out in five minutes. I was wrong.

Mom: Get up here and eat supper. I spent all this time cooking and you can leave your video game for ten minutes to eat something. I don’t want you to get weak.
Cardinal Biggles?
I think he’d weigh the downside of his wife, children and the relatives plus the two dogs not getting out in time.
But when was the last photo op for a Dem where he could say “fight, fight, fight” with smoke damaged clothes on his lawn?

Young woman in club, to her female friend: “The creepy guy is starting at you again.”
“The one with the banana nose”
“One and the same. Should we get Jeff and Dan to beat him up and toss him in the alley?”
“Maybe later. I paid for my own drink and I want to finish it first.”
That’s weird. The report I heard earlier said he & his family weren’t home at the time.
Eeegads that’s a creepy looking guy.
I can picture him doing crazy...
Far too many to count. They need Jesus.
It most likely WAS a staged event.
Bally Jerry, pranged his kite right in the how’s-your-father; hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harpers and caught his can in the Bertie.
Exactly. That's what I thought too.
And..it’s a leftist terrorist.
Nope, leftist. And it’s why my Jewish family are not Democrats anymore.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.

Not gonna make it as a national dem candidate. so stop trying and do some good in PA. Use the force Josh. The perp looks like he was a welder. Was there a welder in the Village People music group?
Seems like guys named Cody often get into some kind of legal trouble. My own very unscientific observation.
There appears to be a facebook picture and he looks like a welder. was there a welder in the Village People music group? Josh is all over it being a jewish attack.
Roger the Shrubber: There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
King Arthur: Did you say shrubberies?
Roger the Shrubber: Yes, shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is Roger the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.
Yep, he keeps playing footsie with the left, and they bite him. The STORY of well meaning, but wrong Jewish Liberals.
According to officials, Balmer breached the security perimeter by scaling a fence and managed to evade troopers on-site before forcefully entering the residence and setting fires using homemade incendiary devices.
Balmer exited the property the same way he entered and was apprehended later that day in the Harrisburg area. Officials believe the entire incident unfolded within a matter of minutes.
