Man caught with petrol in NYC cathedral

A man has been arrested after walking into New York's St Patrick's Cathedral carrying two full petrol cans, lighter fluid and lighters, police say.He spilt gasoline on the ground and officers took him into custody.

Deputy police commissioner John Miller noted that the"suspicious" incident occurred just two days after a fire gutted Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris."An individual walking into an iconic location like St Patrick's cathedral carrying over four gallons of gasoline, two bottles of lighter fluid and lighters, is something we would have grave concern over," Mr Miller told reporters.

The NYPD deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism however said it was"too early to say" whether terrorism was a motive.When confronted outside the cathedral, the man told officers his vehicle had run out of fuel and he was cutting through the cathedral to get to it. He was arrested when police checked the van and saw it was not out of petrol.Investigators in Paris say renovation works at Notre-Dame could have accidentally sparked Monday's fire.

Que hay detrás de todo esto. ?

Hay q acabar con esta gentuza

It's God's will. 🙄

Any description or is that racist to ask?

That could be a lot of people. Geir Pedersen seems to be in the lead though.

Es la guerra que tenemos, y pobre imbécil el que no quiere verlo!

What kind of man? 🤔😂

But his mother says 'he is a good boy' Pero su madre dice que 'es un buen chico' 🤦🏻‍♂️

A nice muslim 🐀 I suppose...

Fuel for thought? Or prayer?

HE HAS CONFESSED!!!! (that he occasionally jerks off)

No description of the man , Can only mean one thing.

No word on who the guy is?

Son sus costumbres, hay que respetarlas...

Was he a “lone wolf” .... ? Unless of course he’s any other race than American then he’d be part of a well organised terrorist cell wouldn’t he?.....

Was he a Catholic?

God needs petrol?

Notre damn....

Notre Dame 2.0

Whilst traditional Western Churches and Cathedrals are threatened... Mosques continue to spread like wildfire

Given the MSM's failure to highlight the hundreds of arson attacks on churches in France I must conclude that they are for some reason avoiding the very real possibility that this was started deliberately.

The threat to Christians/Christian places of worship is growing. Understandable given the greater threat to society from the inc failure of multiculturalism & the dangers we have imported. Taboo subject unfortunately. Gotta focus on islamophobia and the threat of Hwhite People.

“too early to say whether terrorism was a motive”

I did wonder about Notre-Dame de Paris.

I get the impression there’s a cover up about the cause of the Notre Dame fire

The man had intended to enter the cathedral in the evening but due to jet lag mistakenly got the wrong time.

Bet dude got the idea from Paris

Always going to happen somewhere nutters will jump on the bandwagon sadly

*cough* Reichstag *cough*

He was gonna have a blast

Well, of course. Does this need to be international news?!
