    What are you afraid of? They don’t know you or have your home address.

    Do you honestly think anyone here is capable of fire bombing an occupied home and then calling on the phone to let everyone know why? lol

    Really good NYT piece written by Josh Shapiro about the ordeal, handling his kid's questions, and some emotional support he received, and how it changed his perspective.

    Gov. Josh Shapiro: Finding Moral Clarity After an Arsonist’s Attack

    As we would learn in the coming days, the alleged arsonist had intended to beat me with the hammer he carried with him when he broke into the governor’s residence, had he found me there.

    As our kids woke up that morning after a traumatic night, Lori and I thought it was important to tell them honestly what we knew and what we didn’t.

    I was focused on being a good dad, a good husband and a good governor — in that order.
