… On Sunday, the police arrested a man outside of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, DC, hours before the annual Red Mass held for Supreme Court justices to mark the start of their term.
Well, guess what: “During his arrest, Louis Geri threatened to ignite explosives and handed authorities pages of his notebook that, according to court records, expressed animosity toward the Catholic Church, Supreme Court justices, members of the Jewish faith and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
According to The Washington Post, the court papers allege Louis Geri, 41, of Arizona and New Jersey, warned the cops, “You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives.”
Just wow:
The officer called over a sergeant with the bomb squad, court records show, who told Geri he had to move because there was an event. Geri — 41, of Vineland, New Jersey — said he knew about the event and continued to insist he had bombs.
“Do you want me to throw one out, I’ll test one out on the streets? I have a hundred-plus of them,” he told the sergeant, according to court records. “If you just step back, I’ll take out that tree. No one will get hurt, there will just be a hole where that tree used to be.”
When officers told Geri they were going to forcefully remove him if he did not leave, court documents show he responded by telling police that “several of your people are gonna die from one of these.”
