Kansas Statehouse Black Mass Attempt Leads to Scuffle and Arrests

A planned Black Mass by a small group of self-described satanists at the Kansas Statehouse resulted in a scuffle and multiple arrests. The group's leader, Michael Stewart, was arrested along with three others after attempting to perform the ceremony. Hundreds of Christian counter-protesters gathered, leading to verbal clashes. Governor Kelly had temporarily banned protests inside the building. The incident sparked debate about free speech, religious freedom, and accusations of favoritism towards Christian groups by the state government.
