Pro-Palestinian Motivation for Gov. Shapiro Arson and Attempted Murder, Search Warrant Reveals
“You all know where to find me. I’m not hiding, and I will confess to everything that I had done”
As we have witnessed over the last year and a half, the Israel/Hamas conflict brings out a special kind of crazy in certain people. In the case of the arson attack on the governor’s mansion in Pennsylvania, the main suspect allegedly targeted Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, because of his position on the Palestinian people.
The inability of most Democrats to denounce this insane faction on the left is making the situation worse.
The New York Post reports:
Suspected arsonist Cody Balmer targeted Pa. Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home over what pol ‘wants to do to Palestinian people’: report
The suspect in the arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence said he targeted the Jewish politician over “what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” according to documents.
The alleged firebug Cody Balmer called 911 following the Sunday attack, identified himself by name, and delivered the chilling message addressed to the governor over the phone, according to a search warrant obtained by PennLive.
Balmer, 38, said Shapiro, who was hosting Passover dinner just hours before the blaze, needed to know the governor “will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” the police warrant read, according to the outlet.
“You all know where to find me. I’m not hiding, and I will confess to everything that I had done,” Balmer allegedly told a 911 operator over the phone, according to the warrant.
State police said the accused arsonist targeted the Democratic governor “based upon perceived injustices to the people of Palestine” as well as his Jewish faith, the warrant states.
The media bears some responsibility here. Will they drop the story now?
And just like that, Democrats and the media will stop talking about the arson https://t.co/whsaIWSLUm

This is Cody Balmer, the suspect who tried to set fire to Josh Shapiro's house.
He's 1,000%, not MAGA, so you can expect this story to drop out of the headlines by this time tomorrow pic.twitter.com/CElqjA1rWD— Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) April 13, 2025
In a twist that no one saw coming, there were red flags around this guy.
FOX News reports:
Pennsylvania arson suspect was free on bail ‘to co-parent’ after alleged family violence: report
The man accused of setting the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion ablaze over the weekend was out on bail stemming from a 2023 domestic assault case.
Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family escaped without injury early Sunday. Cody Balmer was arrested in the attack.
Balmer had been out on bail stemming from an incident in 2023. Fox News confirmed that in January of that year, police responded to a call from the residence of Balmer, 38, after his 13-year-old son called police to report that Balmer was beating his wife.
A criminal complaint filed by the Penbrook Borough Police Department regarding the incident, after which Balmer was charged with three counts of simple assault, said Balmer took an entire bottle of pills in an attempt to kill himself. When his son stepped in between Balmer and his wife, Balmer allegedly shoved his son out of the way and then punched his wife with a closed fist.
He seems like a real stand-up member of society, doesn’t he?

“The inability of most Democrats to denounce this insane faction on the left is making the situation worse.”
They don’t want to offend their voters.
Wouldn’t you just love to have him over for dinner?
I’m glad a terrorist was caught and will be dealt with to the full extent of the law.
Bombing civilians and eroding free speech is still not cool.
To what do you refer? Israel has never once in its entire 77-year history targeted civilians. Bombing legitimate military targets is 100% “cool”, and if there are any civilians at those targets that’s not our problem.
True, but Israel should not consider those 80% of Arabs who support terrorism civilians, and should start bombing them. That is how wars are brought to an end. It is necessary to subdue those who want war, they are most certainly driving continuing to drive terror.
Facts don’t matter to the media, and apparently not to SeymourButz either. Hamas and Hezbollah bomb civilians. Every rocket they fire into Israel is a war crime. They violate the principle of distinction enshrined in international humanitarian law concerning armed conflict. Lawful combatants distinguish between legitimate military targets and civilian objects. We do. Israel does. Hamas and Hezbollah don’t care what they hit. Every rocket they fire into Israel is a war crime per the LOAC.
You do know that ‘bombing civilians’ and ‘eroding free speech’ describe the Pali Arabs rather than Israel, right? Though ‘eroding’ is a bit of an understatement.
FOAD toad
Please submit your homework and cite sources regarding Israel’s bombings of civilians and their alleged erosion of free speech. By the way, speaking without knowledge and out of one’s ass is not acceptable either.

Yeah, you don’t have a problem with this, do you Butz? Israel doesn’t do this, Mensa candidate.
No, you aren’t glad. That’s just a reflexive throat-clearing before you get to your real “point.”
Shapiro is a leftist before he is a Jew, so when did he say what he “wanted” to do to Palestinians?
He suppprts Israel and that is enough for the terrorist.
Also now that commenter who said it probably wasn’t an anti semitic attack and Shapiro shouldn’t have played his Jew card so early, can kma.
I hardly dislike the phrase “jew card”,
“heartily?”
yes thank you.
Other sources saying this wingnut was triggered about palestine? Mental illness might be factor?
Oh there is no doubt the wingnut was not playing with a full deck. Doesn’t and shouldn’t matter and doesn’t excuse any of his actions included his alleged domestic violence.
Mental illness might be factor in much left-wing membership. He’s not special.
The vile, stupid and evil Dhimmi-crats are gonna dhimmi.
Nothing new under the Sun. These reprobates can’t offend the Party’s Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist cohort, so, must continue to kowtow to them in total obeisance.
Of COURSE mental illness is a factor… from a right-wing point of view.
However, the left think that burning Teslas, supporting a group that murdered 1,000 civilians in a single day, hoping that the President is shot, and pretending to be women are normal….
So…. whose standard of “mental illness” are you using?
Gee, he looks normal. (s)
trump supporterrrrrr!!
oh wait
hurry
bury this story
Most if not all of the Marxist leaning g Democrats here in the US are pro Palestinian and despise jews/Israel. For that matter they also hate America and are working to destroy us too.
Just how has the Pally movement been helped?
It hasn’t of course. The arabs have always done obscene acts not with the notion that it will help or attract people to their cause but to in their words call attention to it, This is the same idea used by the green nuts defacing art or blocking traffic. They don’t expect to recruit people but rather to just get the cause in the news. Stupid.
When we stop clicking on the stupid news, it goes away.
Exactly what say does this Balmer idiot think the Governor of Pennsylvania has over anything that has happened, is happening, or will happen to the Pali arabs?
“Illuminati’s not here, man.”
We can guess that Shapiro was not chosen to be the Dems VP nominee because he is a Jew. I hope Pres. Trump finds a position for him in his administration, if he has not already asked Shapiro.
Just wondering how this WASPy-named weirdo looks like the picture of an Arab? Is that his real name?
