Unsurprising, sadly.

Does governor Shapiro own a Tesla? If so, I hope it wasn't injured, but that will get Bondi's top men on the case.

I’m absolutely shocked that it is a crazy right wing MAGA nut that tried to burn down a house full of kids… that was a plot twist I truly didn’t see coming.

Just a heads up that these images (both those showing him as MAGA and showing him as antifa/socialist) may be fakes, lots of discussion about this on social media. Probably best to wait for NYT or other credible sources.

Another nutcase who should have been in longterm hospitalization or prison. It'll be prison now.

Time will tell. He's Jewish and a candidate for being president one day. He is a threat to vision of extremists. The world has gone mad.

Mad and terribly sad isn't it. Fellow humans!

I’m no fan of Shapiro, but this is really heinous. To me, a crime deserving of a very lengthy sentence.

A young white male?? How is that possible?

What's the cut off for young?

It’s (white) men acting out because they’re angry, justifying killing people. It’s like school shootings but newer targets. CEOs, governors.

Guys, did you see his picture?

He’s obviously mentally ill. Like, really mentally ill. You can see it in his eyes as well as his behavior.

I saw an article that says he has a PO Box. Not an actual home address. I bet he’s homeless or bounces around a lot.

While his political rantings skew conservative/anti-liberal, please realize they are nothing more than the rantings of a pervasively mentally ill person.

This has nothing to do with race, age, religion, politics, etc. It’s mental illness and lack of a system to proactively deal with such people.

Stop making everything political. Stop making everything racial. Geez.

Has any GOP elected official made a statement about this?

+100. The attempts to fit narratives—on both sides—is stunning. Mentally ill people doing this sort of thing will come up with all sorts of reasons to justify their deed.
