This weekend, an attempt was made to kill Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and his family, by firebombing the Governor’s mansion while the Shapiro family, and guests, were sleeping. The “man” who made that attempt is in custody.
How serious was this firebombing attempt. This picture should give you the answer:
Now, why did cody balmer, a 38 year old “man” with a criminal record, do this?
From Pilar Arias’ article for fox news:
While being interviewed by troopers, “Balmer admitted to harboring hatred towards Governor Shapiro.” Balmer allegedly told investigators “he removed gasoline from a lawn mower and poured it into Heineken bottles he found at his residence.”
Balmer allegedly said he walked an hour to the governor’s mansion “with the intention of throwing his homemade Molotov cocktails into the residence.”
Troopers say Balmer admitted to scaling a perimeter fence, breaking two windows with a hammer and throwing Molotov cocktails inside. The arson suspect allegedly admitted he was aware it was a possibility that Shapiro and others were home at the time and “it was a possibility that people could be injured by his actions.”
Had Balmer come face-to-face with Shapiro, he allegedly said, “he would have beaten him with his hammer.” Following the interview, Balmer was taken to Dauphin County Prison for arraignment.
While no specific motive for balmer’s hatred of Shapiro has been reported yet, let’s remember this murder attempt occurred the night that Shapiro and his guests celebrated the Jewish holiday of Passover with a seder in the mansion.
Would it be surprising at all if ballmer’s actions related to Shapiro being a practicing Jew?
And would it be surprising at all if ballmer had been encouraged to violence by the aggressive, often violent Jew-hatred actions of the left over the past year on the streets of major cities and the campuses of universities?
Let’s wait and see what comes out in this regard; whether there’s anything there. It shouldn’t take long.
