A man arrested outside the annual Red Mass ceremony held at St. Matthew’s Cathedral had over 200 explosive devices in a tent on the church’s stairs, according to police.

Louis Geri, 41, touted homemade explosives when officers approached him on the step ahead of the service typically attended by Supreme Court justices to ring in a new term, according to court records reviewed by the Washington Post.

Authorities also found vials of nitromethane, a colorless, organic compound used in explosive devices, the court records showed.

Geri said he had a background in explosives and told officers at the scene that the vials were intended to be used as grenades with rubber bands to secure the fuse, according to court records, per the Post.

In addition to the nitromethane, he was found in possession of Molotov cocktails and modified bottle rockets covered with aluminum foil and treated in a pyrotechnic solution. Court documents said the devices appeared “fully functional,” the Post reported.

“You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives,” Geri told officers when he was asked to leave, according to court records.

“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.”

He later told officers, “several of your people are gonna die from one of these” and eventually handed over a nine-page document outlining his disdain for Catholicism, Judaism, Supreme Court justices and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The pages were torn from his notebook entitled “Written Negotiations for the Avoidance of Destruction of Property via Detonation of Explosives.” LINK

Metropolitan Police approached Geri inside a green tent as they were clearing the block for Red Mass, an annual service marking the start of a new Supreme Court term and honoring the judiciary. Several justices normally attend the Mass, but the incident prevented them from doing so Sunday.

2 out of the 5 targets of his hate are common on the right as they are on the left. Dude is def a leftist but the far left and the far right have more in common than they do with both the center left and right

If he was a registered republican he would have been charged with attempted domestic terrorism.

You are reaching. The far right is not a majority of hate jews and hate Isreal. The far right doesn't want to blow up SCOTUS. The far right doesn't like or have much in common with the Marxist far left.
Maybe you are a self fart smelling fence riding moderate. The most sanctimonious group in politics.
Just wondering. Thank you for your attention.
