Man Who Brought Lighters, Butane, and Gasoline into St. Patrick's Cathedral Arrested; He's a "Philosophy Teacher" Who Had Just Booked a Flight to Rome

Here's what we knew as of last night: A "New Jersey Man" arrested with filled gas cans inside St. Patrick's cathedral in NYC. When police stopped him, he claimed his minivan ran out of fuel.

I don't see any plausible reason given for bringing gasoline into a church.

"As the man was turned, police say gasoline spilled out onto the floor. Security then notified nearby police who questioned the man outside the church and took him into custody.

"Police say the man was carrying over four gallons of gas, two bottles of lighter fluid and two butane lighters."

Now he's been arrested for attempted arson -- and he'd been arrested at another church earlier in the week, after refusing to leave at closing time.


A 37-year-old man who was arrested Wednesday after entering St. Patrick's Cathedral carrying two cans of gasoline, lighter fluid and butane lighters had also been arrested at a New Jersey cathedral this week and had booked a flight to Rome, the New York Police Department said.

Marc Lamparello, a college teacher, has been charged with attempted arson, reckless endangerment and trespassing, according to police.

"There doesn't appear to be any connection to any terrorist group or any terrorist-related intent here," said John Miller, the New York Police Department's deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism.

...

Miller said surveillance camera footage showed Lamparello circling St. Patrick's several times in a minivan Wednesday well over an hour before he parked outside the cathedral on Fifth Avenue, walked around the area, returned to his vehicle, and retrieved the gasoline and lighter fluid. When he entered the church, he was confronted by a security officer, who notified counterterrorism officers standing outside.

Lamparello told the officers his car was out of gas and headed in a direction away from where he was parked, Miller said. Officers found his vehicle and determined it was not out of gas, Miller said.

Mb>Before going to St. Patrick's on Wednesday, Lamparello booked a $2,800 ticket on a 5:20 p.m. Thursday flight to Italy, according to Miller.

On Monday, he had been arrested at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, New Jersey, after he refused to leave at closing time, Miller said.

Monday is of course when Notre Dame was burning -- and assuming the church's closing time was in the late afternoon or evening, he would have been attempting to remain in a church after seeing Notre Dame burn all afternoon.

Had he been inspired?

Was he up to something there, too?

And what was he planning to do in Rome, a city famous for cathedrals?

Why did he buy a ticket last-minute, when it's so expensive? And was it only a ticket, singular, as the article says -- a one-way trip?

I'm going to take a guess that his philosophical inquiries focus mainly on the areas of atheism and anti-clericalism. (Update: Actually, that might not be a good bet; I'm not sure if he is anti-catholic or anti-religious. He might just be a depressed incel loon.)

Update: The Heavy says that the NYDN reports the ticket to Italy was indeed a one-way ticket.



Note the lighters are even more incriminating that normal lighters -- those are grill lighters. The long tube helps keep your hands safe when you ignite a potent flame.

Why was he carrying those lighters? What was he planning to grill?

You don't light cigarettes with those.

The Heavy says that police are looking at him as a possibly emotionally-disturbed individual.


In August, he wrote about his own appearance, “I’m going through a phase. After not giving a shit about my appearance for 20 years, I’ve swung in the opposite direction. Now, I’m very vain and appearance-obsessed. I’ve lost 70 pounds, 25 more to go. Thinking about doing other stuff, too. Learned a lot about what makes people beautiful in the process, though, and thought I could share my knowledge on here to help people. I’m hoping that, in time, I settle down somewhere in the middle, conscientious of my appearance, in shape, stylish, but without a dozen plastic surgeries.”

He also wrote about struggling on a dating app, "Honestly, I'm getting murdered on Tinder. It’s a total self-esteem killer. I'm a pretty in-shape guy, and I'm going for in-shape women who are a little attractive, and have a few nice features. Not models, but just generically attractive women. I've "swiped right" on 500+ women. So far, not a single match. Depressing. I think I should probably give up on dating for the time being, and focus really hard on school and work and saving up as much as I can for plastic surgery. Based on the consults I've had with my plastic surgeon, I'm confident I can go from a 4/10 to a 7.2–7.3/10. That’s what I'll focus on now."

This may be terrorism. It might also be an attempted act of destruction without any real political terroristic motive, a "Nova" type of explosive, senseless destruction before hoping for the cowardly euthanasia of suicide by cop.

I guess I should also say "It's possible he had no bad motives," though I do not believe that for a moment.


("Nova" is a term I've heard used to describe depressed/emotionally disturbed men who do something terrible on their path to suicide, like kill their whole family.)

From what I can gather based on the article, it sounds like he was a pretty low-level instructor. Part-time, on-line, and had only recently been hired at one of the two schools that the article mentions he worked for.

St. Patrick's Cathedral does. My daughter goes to Mass there several times a week after work and she's always had to go through a metal detector and have her bag searched. It's a high-profile target. I would also suspect a stepped-up presence in light of Notre Dame and it being Holy Week.

She goes to other churches too, but none of them normally have security in place. May be different this week though.

I would suggest going to a gun store and simply handling a bunch of guns to see which ones you like and feel comfortable. I've done that with two different friends. At one time, I had a Taurus 9mm, but I really wanted to Glock. But the Glock was too pricey.

91 Totally innocent. He had the lighters because he figured the gasoline dispensers in a church might not be plainly labeled. He was going to use the lighters to see if it was really gasoline or just holy water. He had two in case the first one didn't work. He probably had the lighter fluid because the store only sold lighters bundled with lighter fluid. Don't know why people have to see evil intent in everything

96 The only thing in his defense.....

How stupid would it be for someone attempting to arson a church to walk into the building with two obvious red gas cans? It's so stupid it can't be what his motive was!

Of coarse let's not talk about the clear lie that his car ran out of gas.

But hey, I didn't say it was a GOOD defense.

Do churches in NYC normally have counterterrorism officers hanging around the entrance? If so, why?

Posted by: Grimaldi at April 18, 2019 03:37 PM (5S0FW)

----------



St. Patrick's Cathedral does. My daughter goes to Mass there
several times a week after work and she's always had to go through a
metal detector and have her bag searched. It's a high-profile target. I
would also suspect a stepped-up presence in light of Notre Dame and it
being Holy Week.



She goes to other churches too, but none of them normally have security in place. May be different this week though.

We should admit that in this country, white Christian hating progs are even more likely to carry out Church burnings than muzzies are. That's what this guy was.

For another data point, look at the Church burnings in southern Louisiana last week. Perp is a white neo-pagan death metal head who decided he hated Christians so he would burn some churches down. His father was a sheriff's deputy - to his credit, he turned his own son in when he found evidence that the kid had done it.

It is pretty obviously bad motives, the question is whether those are bad motives other than the snakes in his head.

Nova is an apt term for it, what with the go out in a blaze of "glory" desire.

Involuntary celibate though it's turned into more of classification/insult about guys who are aggressively nasty about women and think that they deserve girlfriends.

John List was called 'a family annihilator'. That's the term the po-po use for those who kill their wife and children without killing themselves. List was supposedly religious and killed his family because he thought his children were being corrupted by society. So he killed them to save their souls.

I own one, and if you want a very small 9mm, it's a great choice. It'll easily fit into my front pants pocket, for example, the sights are excellent, and the trigger is pretty good for a stock striker fired design.

Womens' pants pockets are tiny, though, so that may not work.

I'd still recommend something a little larger for carry if you can conceal it, as a larger gun will manage recoil much better and be easier to grip, but if you want small, the P365 is tough to beat.

I agree, but the problem is they think there is a possible life that you can find where you are never sad, disappointed, or unhappy. They think you can find a job you never think sucks. That you can find a relationship where you're always in that fierce infatuation stage.

It comes from being raised with insanely unrealistic expectations on life: be the change you want to see! You can be anything you want! You're powerful! You're fierce! You're special! Live your dreams! Don't settle!

Someone asked me once what movie had the most accurate depiction of what being a lawyer is really like and I said Clueless.

I'm not kidding.

In the background in Clueless is her father and his various minions who appear to be working on a case. This involves sitting at a table and reading documents and highlighting stuff. The big romantic scene at the end has a set up of people sitting there with printouts and going through and highlighting specific calls to specific numbers on specific dates.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuup.

There are no grand court room scenes. No big speeches. Just sitting at a table, in a suit, with reams of paper around you, highlighting stuff.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.

348 I do feel pity for younger men in the culture today who have been convinced, by the culture, that Tinder is a place where can actually find a relationship.

Willie Horton robbed banks because that's where the money was. Guys go to Tinder and dating apps because that's where women are. Mostly chasing after men who have no interest in them beyond a hook-up.

Also, the whole "lower your standards" line is annoying. If your only options were the morbidly obese, the tattooed freaks, single mothers, and aging spinsters too old to have kids... well there's lowering your standards and then there's having no standards at all.

349 John List was called 'a family annihilator'. That's the term the po-po use for those who kill their wife and children without killing themselves. List was supposedly religious and killed his family because he thought his children were being corrupted by society. So he killed them to save their souls.

That is one of the most horrifying mass murder stories ever. The guy was so far from being a typical killer as you can possibly imagine. You know guys like him in every Church. No way you'd expect that.

The only thing that puts a wrinkle in his "rationale" for killing them is that if HE truly believed that, he would have called the police and calmly waited for them to arrest him.

Ironically enough, the majority of the philosophy professors at my school were realist hardasses who were big on careful, airtight reasoning. The few whose political leanings I knew tilted right.

One liked to go over and troll the hell out of the "Science Technology and Society" program professors (your typical collection of crazy Luddite greenies and commie nutbars) by, you know, arguing from a position of actual logic and knowledge.
Another had so pissed off the administration that they petulantly revoked his campus parking pass.

Megan McArdle (I know I know) had a post a few years ago that stuck with me. She was talking about how Kids These Days are being taught that failure is the worst thing ever. She mentioned speaking at a high school and talking to a 16 year old girl afterwards. This was in a very hoity toity school. The girl was saying how she would like to take classes in various things but she couldn't because she had to be sure she took the right courses in the right subjects and got perfect grades so she could get into the best school and then into the right graduate program. As McArdle noted, if we are telling 16 year olds that they must be risk adverse, how do you think they'll act as adults?

The perp who is a depressed antisocial nobody can finally be someone everyone is talking about if the perp's final act is big enough to get wall to wall coverage.

That's one big reason why some said that when that kind of perp is caught, the media should mention the name once and never again to discourage other psychos who want to go out the same way.

I won't speak for God, but if I were to guess His response, it would be "child, I didn't put you in hell, I put you in a wonderful place. Your own cowardice and ridiculously self centered thinking is what put you in hell. And since you put yourself in it, it's on you to get yourself out of it."

424 401 Megan McArdle (I know I know) had a post a few years ago that stuck with me. She was talking about how Kids These Days are being taught that failure is the worst thing ever. She mentioned speaking at a high school and talking to a 16 year old girl afterwards. This was in a very hoity toity school. The girl was saying how she would like to take classes in various things but she couldn't because she had to be sure she took the right courses in the right subjects and got perfect grades so she could get into the best school and then into the right graduate program. As McArdle noted, if we are telling 16 year olds that they must be risk adverse, how do you think they'll act as adults?

440 Better to raise your standards - for yourself. Hit the gym and build skills and attributes that make you someone women are interested in dating. Attracting an attractive mate (however you define attractive) is a competition for scarce resources. So be competitive. Hard to have sympathy for incels on this score. They don't put in the work, so they don't succeed. That's how life generally works.
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls at April 18, 2019 04:32 PM (iys0/)

Yes, but I think they see other people getting dates and having sex with no (apparent) effort or work, so rather than except that THAT'S LIFE they turn the hatred that they have for themselves towards others.

It's true. I was raised largely to believe this - that failure is the worst thing ever. That if at first you don't succeed, then you are a failure as a human being. Trying and failing is shame and humiliation, not a learning process. So eventually you learn not to try, and don't venture past what you have an immediate affinity or aptitude for. It's a horrible thing to do to someone.

I was ten years ago. I found it fun. The women I went out with had worked out most of their immaturities years before. I hope I did too. We all had plenty of life experience to draw on and treated each other with respect (except for the one stalker).

483 Here is the blurb for his book, Reason and Counterpoint, available on Amazon:

"What is the nature of the a priori? Can we really rely on our own cognitive architecture in distilling the nature of moral-practical motivation? What role does cognitive science play in adding to the solutions of traditional philosophical problems, about which debate has raged for centuries? In Reason and Counterpoint, Marc Lamparello tackles these and scores of other exciting questions in contemporary Analytic philosophy in a sharp, incisive, and engaging manner. Presented in the form of aphorisms and paragraph-length insights, Reason and Counterpoint offers ambitious and highly creative answers to some of the most vexing philosophical questions, while also using skepticism to question some of the most basic assumptions at the heart of philosophical method and inquiry. Suitable for both the professional philosopher and layperson alike, Reason and Counterpoint will take the reader on a journey surveying major areas of philosophical discourse, leading to a richer and deeper understanding of some of the central questions of any thinking person."

520 The girl was saying how she would like to take
classes in various things but she couldn't because she had to be sure
she took the right courses in the right subjects and got perfect grades
so she could get into the best school and then into the right graduate
program. As McArdle noted, if we are telling 16 year olds that they
must be risk adverse, how do you think they'll act as adults?



Posted by: alexthechick - Ragebunny. Hopping all around. at April 18, 2019 04:33 PM (mf5HN)
The teenager is correct. Even to get into an average school with a program that has serious limits on spots, you have to compete starting in HS. Listening to a talk on getting into Ohio State's vet program, it was ridiculous. You had to have so many volunteer hours before even getting into pre-vet. In pre-vet, it you got anything less than an A in a core class, you didn't stand a chance. It was time to pick a new career.
It's a hyper-competitive environment that ironically leads to bland conformity and fear of failure.

561 @520 It's a hyper-competitive environment that ironically leads to bland conformity and fear of failure.

And grade inflation, ironically.

Ah, sorry, thought that might have been the issue. It's a reference to the big 3d plot of all the spaceship locations and movements in E.E. "Doc" Smith's Lensman novels, that helped inspire the concept of the Combat Information Center (CIC) for warships.

Ah! I grok you, which I think is the proper terminology the kids use these days. Thank you for your service.

My half-assed brother was a bubblehead in WWII. Has a tattoo of a skeleton on his arm for the skeleton crew he was on. So, Navy in family (along with uncle), and Army AF (Father).

566 Look "New Jersey Man," you're clearly new to this game, so let me explain how it works - you're only supposed to fuck yourself up in a dramatically stupid manner.

573 Sorry, Ace - but there's only one cathedral in Rome, namely St. John Lateran. That's the official church of the Bishop of Rome, AKA the Pope, and it's not in the Vatican. A cathedral is like the headquarters church of a diocese, where the bishop's seat of authority is. (From the Latin "cathedra" or "seat".) There's LOTS of basilicas (like St. Peter's) and other churches in Rome, though.
