Somebody tried to kill the governor of Pennsylvania and his family!

Pennsylvania State Police are searching for an arsonist who “caused a significant amount of damage” to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s official residence in Harrisburg.

Photos of the fire response showed smoke billowing out from one of the residence’s windows, blackening the exterior trim above the window with what appeared to a layer of soot.

Shapiro is Jewish, and last night began the Jewish celebration of Passover. He is also a Democrat.

Surely they have surveillance cameras around the building, so we should be seeing images of the arsonists before too long.

Was this a case of antisemitism, hatred of Democrats, or something else?

I used to enjoy this forum
It had a bit of a buzz about it and I’m just a new boy relatively speaking .

The USA is getting boring!

An attempted assassination of a governor isn’t interesting enough for you? Sorry. I guess we’ll have to try harder. :rofl:

This is an international forum. It is easy enough to ignore threads that do not interest you. I don’t post much but I do read many of the threads that interest me and ignore those that don’t.

There’s not too much information out there about the arsonist, but one thing that authorities found out about him was that he was/is a 2020 election denier; he believes that Trump won the election. :roll_eyes:

Whether or not he’s antisemitic remains to be seen. He did turn himself in and has a history of violence.

Yep, same her Scot. But sometimes I can’t resist voicing my opinion.

It’s still a great forum Chilli, but I wish the topics were a bit more variable and more interesting.
It’s part of my life and the members are part of my family since I retired. Even the members I disagree with, I still consider them friends and part of the family. I read and digest every opinion even though I might not agree with it. You might find this hard to believe…but…I can be wrong sometimes…

Blimey Mr Swimfeeders!
I thoroughly enjoy your posts too.
Which I suppose is my point.
I’ve always wanted to set up a marine aquarium but mine would be a kind of intertidal affair…

It’s not going to happen for a number of reasons, but then again…
