New Jersey man arrested for having Molotov cocktail outside DC church during high-profile masshttps://nypost.com/2025/10/05/us-news/new-jersey-man-arrested-for-having-molotov-cocktail-outside-dc-church/A New Jersey man was arrested after allegedly toting a Molotov cocktail outside a Washington, DC Catholic church that was hosting a special mass to celebrate the start of the Supreme Court term, according to authorities.
Louis Geri, of Vineland, New Jersey, was cuffed on the steps of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle shortly before 6 a.m. Sunday after setting up a tent full of “suspicious” items and refusing to leave, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Geri, 41, had already been banned from the Cathedral premises, officers learned, though the reason for his barring was not specified.

St. Matthew’s was celebrating its Red Mass, an annual celebration on the Sunday before the first Monday in October to mark the opening of the Supreme Court’s term.
“Its purpose is to invoke God’s blessings on those responsible for the administration of justice as well as on all public officials,” the Catholic church wrote in a description of the event.
In addition to being banned from the location, the guy drove a couple hundred miles to get to the cathedral. Sounds like he has a "thing" with this particular cathedral/congregation rather than being a guy whose pregnant GF was persuaded not to abort.
