A terrorist, who wanted to do to St. Patrick’s Cathedral what happened to Notre Dame in Paris tried strolling into with gas cans, but was arrested. As is typical for these type of stories, there is no name of the terrorist walking in with gas cans and no description. Only information released publicly is that this “man” is 37 years old and from New Jersey. Why do I call the “man” a terrorist? Because no matter who he turns out to be, he wasn’t carrying gas cans into St. Patrick’s Cathedral by chance. He wanted to do in New York what happened in Paris. No matter who this asswipe turns out to be, he’s a terrorist in my book. I’d also be willing to bet he’s a radical leftist too.

A New Jersey man was busted Wednesday night after walking into St. Patrick’s Cathedral with two full gasoline cans, according to law enforcement sources.
The 37-year-old man entered the Midtown church with two red, 1-gallon gas cans and was near the pews when he was spotted and grabbed by security, sources said.
Police believe the liquid inside the cans is gasoline.
The incident comes just days after Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral erupted in flames, which toppled its spire and badly damaged the historic building.
