Socialist who hated Governor Shapiro arrested

‘Socialist’ Suspect Arrested After Attack On Pennsylvania Governor’s Home

Pennsylvania authorities arrested a suspect in connection with the alleged arson of Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s residence.

Cody Balmer, 38, was charged with attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, burglary and other related offenses, according to the Dauphin County District Attorney’s office and the police criminal affidavit.

The suspect allegedly hopped the fence outside of Shapiro’s Harrisburg home and “actively evaded troopers” who were searching for him before entering the residence, setting it on fire and then leaving, Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said during a Sunday afternoon press conference.

Shapiro, his wife and their children were at home sleeping during the attack. When Balmer was asked by police what he would have done if he had found Shapiro, he said he would have bludgeoned him with a hammer, according to the affidavit.

Balmer appeared to have admitted on social media that he is a “registered socialist” on Facebook, supported Black Lives Matter and was critical of MAGA, Christians and the Second Amendment. He last voted in the 2022 general election, but is not registered with any political party, according to PhillyBurbs.
