Washington, D.C., police on Sunday arrested a man with hundreds of explosive devices outside a church holding a Mass in honor of the Supreme Court. The man had a manifesto that suggested he was targeting the Supreme Court and Catholics, according to court papers obtained by The Daily Wire.
Louis Geri, a 41-year-old from Arizona and New Jersey, was apprehended outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle on October 5, the same day the church held its annual “Red Mass” in which a cardinal prays for the high court as it embarks on a new term, and which is historically attended by justices.
He was previously banned from the church property and had a criminal history in Arizona, including a conviction for indecent exposure and a recent prison term. The explosive materials included nitromethane-based devices, Molotov cocktails, and modified bottle rockets, many of which appeared fully functional. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/man-arrested-at-dc-church-hosting-red-mass-had-200-homemade-explosives-police/ar-AA1O6aM9
Due to the threat, no Supreme Court justices attended the Red Mass this year. Geri now faces multiple charges, including possession of a weapon of mass destruction in furtherance of a hate crime. He is being held without bail. https://thepostmillennial.com/man-arrested-outside-dc-church-with-200-explosives-had-manifesto-targeting-catholics-ice-supreme-court-jews-report
