Speaker 1: I never heard it on Donkey other day.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: Say it again, Charlamac? Yes you are that Charlottelage truth, Yes,
Speaker 1: donk you Today for Monday, April fourteenth, goes to thirty
Speaker 1: eight year old Cody Palmer of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Now, if
Speaker 1: you haven't heard, Cody is the suspect who's been arrested
Speaker 1: in charge with terrorism because of an arson attack on
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's residence over the weekend as Jos
Speaker 1: Shapiro's and his family slept. Now, Governor Joshapiro is Jewish,
Speaker 1: and this incident happened on the first night to pass over.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this incident was a Jewish thing
Speaker 1: or a Democrat thing. But let's go to six ABC
Speaker 1: Philadelphia for the report police.
Speaker 2: Governor Josh Shapiro described himself as emotional but not fearful
Speaker 2: outside the Governor's residence in Harrisburg Sunday afternoon. This after
Speaker 2: state police say thirty eight year old Cody Baumber of
Speaker 2: Harrisburg set the state dining room on fire overnight. New
Speaker 2: video shows the destruction where Shapiro and his family celebrated
Speaker 2: passover just hours before on Saturday night.
Speaker 3: This kind of violence is becoming far too common in
Speaker 3: our society, and I don't give a damn if it's
Speaker 3: coming from one particular side or the other, and it
Speaker 3: has to stop.
Speaker 2: Police say it's clear Bomber had a plan and moved quickly.
Speaker 2: They say he was inside the home less than a
Speaker 2: minute and used homemade devices what sources described to ABC
Speaker 2: News as a Molotov cocktail. Sources tell ABC News Bomber
Speaker 2: is a mechanic who expressed disdain for Democrats, primarily related
Speaker 2: to financial issues. They're also not ruling out Shapiro's Jewish
Speaker 2: faith as a motivating factor.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary.
Speaker 1: But when somebody asked me, do I think this was
Speaker 1: a Jewish thing or a Democrat thing, I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: a combination of both. Okay, when you look at the
Speaker 1: time and of the incident, first day of Passover, and
Speaker 1: the fact Governor, you know Shapiro is a high profile
Speaker 1: Jewish man, and if you are anti Semitic and you're
Speaker 1: looking to make a statement, you're looking to make a flash,
Speaker 1: he's your guy. But what I want us to pay
Speaker 1: attention to is how America has gone completely backwards in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. I don't even know we've gone backwards,
Speaker 1: or if a lot of these races cancer cells were
Speaker 1: just laying dormant in the body of America, they were
Speaker 1: just in hibernation, okay, And they were just in a
Speaker 1: hibernation like state, and now they've been coaxed out of
Speaker 1: their slumber because of the current political climate in this country.
Speaker 1: You don't get me wrong, it's always existing, okay, But man,
Speaker 1: what happened to Governor Shapiro and his family could happen
Speaker 1: to anybody who is a member of a marginalized group.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, doctor Martin Luther King Junior said
Speaker 1: it best, an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,
Speaker 1: and this was a complete injustice. And those words couldn't
Speaker 1: be more fitting, because one of the first times I
Speaker 1: heard about something like this happening was when it happened
Speaker 1: to doctor Martin Luther King Junior. January thirty of nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty six, Martin Luther King Junior's wife and child were
Speaker 1: inside when his home was firebombed. All praises to God,
Speaker 1: neither of them were harmed, Okay, Malcolm X February fourteenth,
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five. His house was firebombs. He had his
Speaker 1: wife and four daughters in the house. By the way,
Speaker 1: to all the simple minded digital d heads out there,
Speaker 1: I am not comparing Governorshapail to doctor MLK Jr. And
Speaker 1: Malcolm X. I'm just telling you that when you hear
Speaker 1: certain stories, when you see certain images, especially horrific things
Speaker 1: like somebody fire bombing your house, setting your house on
Speaker 1: fire while you're in there with your family, if you
Speaker 1: have any type of empathy, it sticks with you and
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, I pray that never happens to
Speaker 1: me and my family. And you thought that those things
Speaker 1: were just things of the past, but no, when you
Speaker 1: see them still happening to folks in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: it's just a reminder that potentially it could happen to you. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know how Cody got this close to the
Speaker 1: governor's mansion. I mean, it's the damn governor's mansion. There
Speaker 1: should never be a breach of security there. But I'm
Speaker 1: starting to believe when it comes to guarding elected officials,
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania has the worst security ever. I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: Donald Trump almost got clipped. And now a thirty eight
Speaker 1: year old kid can jump the governess and he's trust
Speaker 1: of all, he's not a kid? What am I saying?
Speaker 1: And now a thirty eight year old man can jump
Speaker 1: the governor's mansion and actually start a fire with homemade
Speaker 1: devices and get away before he's ultimately caught. Now, Cody
Speaker 1: Obama's mother said that Cody suffers from mental illness and
Speaker 1: he was off his medication. Listen, you know I overstand. Okay,
Speaker 1: mental health issues are serious and require compassion, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't excuse actions that endanger lives and threaten public safety. Okay,
Speaker 1: he can get all the help he needs in somebody's prison, Okay,
Speaker 1: because we have to make examples of people like this.
Speaker 1: I also feel like discrimination is a form of mental illness.
Speaker 1: To hate someone because of what their race is, their
Speaker 1: religion is, their gender is, their sexuality is. If you
Speaker 1: hate people because of what they are, you are mentally ill.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to see anyone being attacked or
Speaker 1: being the target of potential violence because of what they are. Okay,
Speaker 1: their race, their faith, their political party. Do we not
Speaker 1: understand that diversity is what truly makes America great? And
Speaker 1: By the way, if if you don't like somebody's politics,
Speaker 1: well get in the politics yourself and challenge them, okay,
Speaker 1: Or support the politicians you like and help them defeat
Speaker 1: the politicians you don't. That's how things are done in
Speaker 1: a civilized country. But unfortunately this country has always lied
Speaker 1: to itself about being civilized. Please give Cody Palmer of Harrisburg,
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania the biggest Hea Hull Sad, yes, very sad Donkey
