Man gets 6 years in prison for taking explosives to church hosting annual Red Mass for justices
A New Jersey man, Louis Geri, was sentenced to nearly six years in prison for bringing homemade explosive devices to a Washington, D.C., church that was hosting an annual Red Mass for Supreme Court justices. Geri, who expressed significant animosity towards the Roman Catholic Church, Jewish people, and the Supreme Court, was arrested outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle on October 5, 2025.
He was found in possession of over 100 homemade explosives and a list of written demands, which included requests for money, an "expatriation flight" to Japan, and for the Supreme Court to remove Arizona. Judge Randolph Moss noted the gravity of the offense, balancing the danger posed by Geri's actions with his history of serious mental health issues.
