They arrested the guy. He's a fan of Molotov cocktails:

A man named Cody Balmer has been charged with terrorism, attempted murder, aggravated arson and aggravated assault over the April 13 family home arson attack on Pennsylvania Gov.

Local authorities have not released a photo of Balmer but I found and verified images and posts belonging to him.

Quite a guy. His plan was to beat the governor with a hammer:

The suspected arsonist arrested over the firebombing attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home shared disturbing photos on social media — including pics of himself pointing a gun at the camera, and appearing to breathe fire, as well as a photo of an embroidered flaming Molotov cocktail.

Cody Balmer, 38, was arrested Sunday evening and faces charges of attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson and aggravated assault for the 2 a.m. blaze at the Democrat’s residence, the Dauphin County district attorney has announced.

No motive has yet been given for the arson attack on the governor’s Harrisburg home, but a Facebook account believed to be run by Balmer, according to sources, includes a number of radical posts, images of guns and at least one apparent call for violence.

Aaaaaand the kicker:

Balmer also shared multiple left-wing anti-capitalist posts on his Facebook, and his home appears to have been foreclosed last year, according to court documents.

The left put a saddle on a tiger, and now their little monster squads are out doing their thing.
