SCOTUS Bomb Threat

Blurb:

A far-left lunatic fashioned at least 200 improvised explosive devices out of homemade materials and planned to unleash a series of terrorist attacks across Washington, D.C., authorities said after arresting the man on Tuesday.

The deranged New Jersey resident had reportedly filled a tent with what the Metropolitan District Police described as “grenades” readied for detonation at the annual Red Mass gathering of Christians this week.

A notebook left behind by the man was filled with hate-filled scrawls against justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, who already confirmed they would not be attending the appeal to their faith out of safety concerns.

Louis Geri, 41, also appeared motivated out of hatred for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to his writings left behind in a tent outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle. He allegedly told police officers who approached him, “You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives,” according to a copy of their report obtained by the Washington Post.

St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington, D.C. may have been the target of a potential terrorist attack. The DC Metropolitan Police confronted 41-year-old Louis Geri of Vineland, NJ just ahead of the “Red Mass,” a mass that was held to pray for legal officials, especially the Supreme Court Judges. The police discovered multiple incendiary devices inside the tent he had set up on the cathedral’s steps.

The motivation for the suspect has not yet been given, though he had been trespassed off the premises before. He is being charged with Unlawful Entry, Threats to Kidnap or Injure a Person, and Possession of a Molotov Cocktail. It is not uncommon for SCOTUS judges to attend the mass.
