A man arrested outside a church before it was set to hold a “Red Mass” worship service, traditionally attended by U.S. Supreme Court justices, was found to have 200 explosive devices in his possession. 

Louis Geri, a 41-year-old resident of New Jersey, was arrested Sunday outside of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle hours before the service was scheduled to begin.

According to a D.C. Metropolitan Police Department press release, Geri, who had been previously barred from the cathedral grounds, decided to set up a tent near the church building.

While Geri was arrested without incident after refusing to leave the property, authorities discovered “multiple suspicious items, including vials of liquid and possible fireworks, inside of the suspect’s tent.”

“Members of MPD’s Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team and the Arson Task Force responded to the scene to search the suspect’s belongings. The scene has been secured and there is no threat to public safety,” stated D.C. police.

Authorities charged Geri with possession of a Molotov cocktail, threats to kidnap or injure a person, and unlawful entry. The investigation is ongoing and includes personnel from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Geri was eventually found to have had around 200 explosive devices at the tent, according to The Washington Post, including Molotov cocktails and bottle rockets.

Court records indicate that Geri expressed negative opinions about U.S. Supreme Court justices, the Catholic Church, Jewish individuals, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

While Catholic members of the Supreme Court were initially slated to attend the mass, the incident prevented them from attending the service, which took place as scheduled.

A judge on Monday ordered Geri to be held without bond.

The Red Mass is an annual observance at St. Matthew’s Cathedral held in honor of those who practice law and is typically scheduled shortly before the opening of the Supreme Court’s term.

According to the Archdiocese of Washington, the Red Mass tradition “dates back many centuries” and derives its name from “the color of the liturgical vestments worn by the celebrants and the color of fire, a symbol of the Holy Spirit.”

The John Carroll Society, a D.C. metropolitan-area organization that ministers to Catholic legal professionals, co-hosts the religious gathering alongside the archdiocese.

Virginia Dem AG Candidate Wants GOP Leader and His Children Shot — and It Gets Worse From There

New in PJ Media:

Jay Jones is running for attorney general in Virginia, and he wants you to think that he is the sober, responsible candidate who is standing against those crazy right-wingers. In a pinned tweet on his X account, he calls his opponent, Jason Miyares, an “anti-abortion extremist,” but Jay Jones is a man of action; he is impatient with mere words. In a series of text messages from 2022 that have just surfaced, he fantasizes about the murder of former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, as well as his wife and children — and like a true leftist, explains chillingly that such murders are the only way to bring about real political change.

As if all that weren’t enough, Jones is now refusing to drop out of the attorney general’s race, and is playing the victim. This is leftist politics, 2025.

National Review revealed the texts Friday, and they’re a blood-curdling look inside the garbage-filled soul of a twenty-first century leftist. Writing to Republican House Delegate Carrie Coyner, Jones wrote about Republican State House leaders: “If those guys die before me/I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves/Send them out awash in something.” To that, Coyner offered a gentle remonstrance, consisting simply of her hate-filled colleague’s name: “Jay Jones.”

Jones was not chastened, and started to get carried away with his fantasy, lumping in the mild-mannered Virginia politician he despised with history’s most notorious mass murderers (capitalization as in the original): “Three people, two bullets/Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot/Gilbert gets two bullets to the head/Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time.”

To that, Coyner replied: “Jay/Please stop,” and he laughed off his murderous imaginings: “Lol/Ok, ok.” But then Coyner responded with a text that suggested that Jones had said this sort of thing to her before: “It really bothers me when you talk about hurting people or wishing death on them.”

And apparently Jones did indeed indulge his fantasies on other occasions. In a phone conversation with Coyner, “he suggested he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views, prompting Coyner to hang up the phone in disgust.” When he then insisted that he was “simply asking questions,” Coyner admonished him in a text: “You were talking about hopping [sic] jennifer [sic] Gilbert’s children would die.”

Jones was unapologetic, and matter-of-factly revealed the bloodlust at the heart of leftism: “Yes, I’ve told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” He elaborated: “I mean do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil? And that they’re breeding little fascists? Yes.”

There is more. Read the rest here.
