1. Seems like a real fun guy

[cloudbase]

4. I'd sooner hang out with fungi than with him.

[SheltieLover]

30. Agreed!

[Abolishinist]

32. No contest!

Fungi offer numerous benefits to humans, ranging from providing food and medicine to aiding in decomposition and environmental cleanup. They are a source of food, including edible mushrooms and are crucial for food production processes like bread and cheese making, and fermentation.

Additionally, fungi are a major source of antibiotics like penicillin and other medicinal compounds. They also play a role in environmental restoration by decomposing organic matter and aiding in plant growth.

[Trueblue1968]

48. !ock him up. He is a danger to everyone. Throw him away for 25 years away will keep us safer

[colorado_ufo]

54. 25 years? How about life?

Attempted murder!!!

[Attilatheblond]

58. Attempted MASS murder. There were several people in that home

Governor, his wife, what, 3 kids, and guests who were at the evening religious celebration and stayed overnight.

Attempted MASS murder.

[Trueblue1968]

66. Ok. Life in prison. Send him to el salvadore

[Joinfortmill]

71. Very short life there.

[Trueblue1968]

72. I am good with that. Wish he could have sent on a nice vay-cay to El Salvador in 2002 !!!!!!!

[modrepub]

62. Restitution

While he’s in prison, make him donate plasma with proceeds payable to the Commonwealth to repay for the damages to public property.

[LoisB]

2. Thank you.

[yardwork]

3. Not surprising.

[sheshe2]

14. I watched the press conference today.

It broke my heart, Governor Shapiro was visibly shaken. His wife and 4 children along with guests and 2 dogs were in that house. I saw pictures of the interior of their home, the damage is devastating.

Questions have to be answered they knew the wall had been breached and were searching for him before he entered the house. He was able, according to the press conference, breach the fence, enter the home, set it on fire and then escape over the wall again!

[yardwork]

18. That's terrible!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

69. It's like we need an army to "guard" our politicians, judges, speakers of the truth.

[Meowmee]

63. Where were the state troopers?

How was the attacker able to do all of that without being stopped I wonder. I guess more details will come out in time.

[Tarzanrock]

5. 50 years in a Pennsylvania "max" prison ...

... will give his criminal asshole a lot of time to reflect upon why it is he is sitting in his 6' x 8,' 48 square foot, penitentiary cell.

[DENVERPOPS]

38. I don't think Trump can pardon him

because it is a "State Crime" ?????? but his CABAL will try their best, so that Trump can have a White House Ceremony for him and give him one of Trump's "Medal's of Freedom"................

[kysrsoze]

6. Typical right-wing, incel loser

[sop]

7. Finding out more about Cody Balmer, 38, the Harrisburg man in police custody, will be interesting.

[pandr32]

8. Well, he seems nice.

[HereForTheParty]

9. Nothing about Jews?

That is surprising.

[allegorical oracle]

10. Surprised that he wasn't on anybody's "list". Seems a clear and present danger. nt

[Deuxcents]

11. He has the skin pigmentation that they approve of so he passed the test even tho he's deeply troubled

And allowed to be with kids.

[Tactical Peek]

22. There is a card for that.

[allegorical oracle]

65. Geesh -- that was a lot of damage to that house -- just saw video. Scary stuff. nt

[moniss]

49. There used to be an effort on the part of the FBI to track folks

like this but the GQP cried that they were being harmed and so it was killed.

[Aristus]

12. Charming...

[Probatim]

13. Pennsyltucky's Finest.

[bdamomma]

15. He doesn't

look too well mentally. Mental issues. hell yes.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. His 40 Years In Prison...

...will be somebody else's fault.
In his warped, tiny mind, he's always right & a patriot.

[mercuryblues]

17. I would love for him to meet my mother.

She died about 9 years ago.

[H2O Man]

19. Scum bag.

Recommended.

[NEOH]

20. Sounds like a great match for Kyle Rittenhouse, nt

[Meowmee]

21. Awful

I either did not hear about that or forgot about it. Too much going on.

[JI7]

23. Clinton's fault for signing NAFTA

[sakabatou]

24. Were any of his posts reported?

[underpants]

26. Remember META is "free speech" now.

Reporting it wouldn’t make much difference

[sakabatou]

27. I keep on forgetting that even if a post is reported

little to nothing happens.

[DENVERPOPS]

39. Did you see where Trump

is trying to get "Reparations" for ALL the insurrectionists imprisoned for SEDITION, now that he has pardoned them all???????

[sakabatou]

40. Yeah, I saw several posts from people I follow

[Ping Tung]

25. Will he be asking Trump for a pardon and an apology from Shapiro for disturbing him?

Trump could at least offer him a position of Presidential Spokesman for Women based on his advice column to them on Facebook.

[MadameButterfly]

34. I hope this is a state, not a federal crime

so Trump can't pardon him?

[Ping Tung]

36. Trump believes that rules that bar him are all part of a giant cospiracy theory run by unpatriotic Demcrats

and other traitors.

[MadameButterfly]

60. Yeah but here is finally a case where more than the beliefs that wander

around in Trump's head will determine what happens.

[applegrove]

53. Apparently domestic terrorism does have a jail sentence

attached to it. Heard that on the news.

[SWBTATTReg]

28. Nail his A&& for a hate crime plus more. Perhaps the state too, has a hate crime too on its books. Nail him w/ both

so tRUMP can't pardon him.

[sheshe2]

46. Charges so far

aggravated arson and attempted homicide, terrorism and aggravated assault charges.

[Klarkashton]

29. I believe that he was on the sex offender registry

[ailsagirl]

35. What a piece of work

[mdbl]

31. A model magat citizen

This country has a lot of sick individuals and Cody is one of them.

[ailsagirl]

33. Another psycho

Gld he was caught, obviously

[ToxMarz]

37. I suspect there are traces back to the right-winger-nuts

because they are all flooding the zone with the "link" they have uncovered for his motive. THEY say it's because the state of Pennsylvania forclosed on his home (ie it's mean old jew Shapiro's fault). Except, states don't forclose on homes, counties do. And the document they are evidencing is a county sherrifs sale for a bank because he didn't pay his mortgage. Which leads me to believe they are trying throw some shit in the air to obscure something they don't want focused on.

[spanone]

41. Does he have antennae?

typical

[hatrack]

42. Jesus Christ, dude . . . .

Last time I looked, meth wasn't one of the food groups, however desperately you might want to believe that it is.

[dchill]

43. I really hope that wasn't a federal crime.

[Buddyzbuddy]

44. Keep him in the State system. Otherwise....

[sheshe2]

50. Unless I missed it...

The fat f**k hasn't come out to make a statement or condemn the violence. Not that I am surprised.

[Deuxcents]

52. He got carried away with his entourage at the wrestling show and can't be bothered

[sheshe2]

59. Granted, he was a Dem Governor, so he didn't say a word about him.

However the recent Tornado's that hit red states and the flooding in red states, nada nothing. He isn't even trying to pretend to care anymore.

[maxrandb]

51. These are the "young males" sane people are supposed to "reach out" to

The ONLY difference, between this guy and Eloon, Zuck, Boboz and Donnie Dipshit, is the size of the bank accounts.

You could give these people all the money and privilege in the fucking world, and they'd still be disgusting, deplorable, hatefilled cowardly little pissants.

[sinkingfeeling]

55. Another real winner.

[RoeVWade]

57. Earned the right to rot in a cell, most likely. Good riddance.

nt^

[LS0999]

61. Why am I not surprised?

It's exactly what I would expect from such a creature. We have a societal problem. We need to make this ideology socially unacceptable again. These tech companies need to be regulated and promoting this crap should be banned from the web. These bums they can go back to the sewers or burning crosses in the backwoods like they used to do if they want to meet up. I don't give a damn about their "free speech" anymore.

64. Reuters: Suspect in Pennsylvania arson attack 'harbored hate' against Shapiro

Reuters - Suspect in Pennsylvania arson attack 'harbored hate' against Shapiro

By Brendan O'Brien
April 14, 2025 12:08 PM EDT

April 14 (Reuters) - The suspect in an arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence told state troopers that he used homemade Molotov cocktails to set the mansion on fire and that he would have beaten Shapiro with a hammer if he had encountered him inside.

After turning himself into law enforcement authorities, the 38-year-old suspect, Cody Balmer, said that he "harbored hate" toward the governor, according to a summary of a police interview with him filed in court.

Balmer is accused of the latest episode of political violence directed at a U.S. elected official.

Sunday's attack bore similarities with the October 2022 home invasion at the San Francisco residence of Nancy Pelosi, then the Democratic speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. In that incident, a man beat her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer.

Balmer turned himself in to Pennsylvania State Police troopers, according to the police account, and has been charged with attempted murder, arson, burglary, and terrorism intended to coerce "the conduct of a government," among other felonies.

67. Joe Biden had a second run?

I guess I slept through that.

[Kittycatkat]

68. He is someone's "trash(can) pussy" now.

He is being treated in prison the way he treated women when he was on the outside. Let's see how he likes being treated like a "hoe", good only for "sucking off stranger's". Enjoy the next 25 years!

[Joinfortmill]

70. Not for nothing, as they say, but there isn't a woman alive

who would go near this disgusting piece of shit. He just ended his own life all by himself. Thank God no one was hurt.
