Alabama’s attorney general on Monday said that an explosive device had been detonated outside his offices over the weekend in the state’s capital city of Montgomery.
“Thankfully, no staff or personnel were injured by the explosion. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will be leading the investigation, and we are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately,” the attorney general, Steve Marshall, said in a statement.
The explosion occurred early on Saturday morning.

Considering he said he would not be enforcing the abortion ban on IVF, this is almost certainly a far right terrorist.
I wouldn’t trust it. He could easily change his mind, or the next AG could have differing opinions. You’ll only be ‘safe’ after the statute of limitations ends, and the statute of limitations for murder is infinite.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t trust him for shit. But considering his announcement was not long ago, this likely is not coming from anyone on the left.
Actually that’s not true, there’s a legal standard applied to public statements regarding enforcement from prosecutors and other related members of executive branches.
Ah yes, the legally binding pinky-promise.
The attorney general that says they will not enforce the IVF thing?
Hmm, a clue.
Maybe for now.
Correct! Roe vs Wade was settled law for 50years and oops it’s not.
Y’all got no one but yourselves to investigate. May I suggest you start with the names of the people who have directly said they would be doing this in direct communication with your office? Odds are hilariously high that they’ve filmed themselves doing it and posted it to the facepals.
Truth social. That’s where the scum get their orders from Russia and Trump.
MAGAts, innit.
I’m not a fan of stochastic terrorism, but feel that finally one was directed towards something useful.
Edit: NM, seems it was a right-winger angry that the AG won’t enforce the IVF ban.
This kind of thing becomes common when a government consistently acts against the will of the majority of the population.
EDIT: Don’t mistake my words for the support of violence. I am simply saying it is inevitable when the public is consistently ignored.
I’m not sure you are properly attributing the motive in this case. Either that or I’m misunderstanding your point, which is possible.
My guess is angry magas.
I think it’s far more likely that whoever did this was upset about embryos being ruled to be people. I doubt they had heard what the AG said and if they did I doubt they believed it.
Yeah but I don’t think the AG’s office had anything to do with the ruling as it was a civil wrongful death case between private parties, so it makes no sense to bomb AG’s office.
I suppose we’ll see as the investigation unfolds.
The far right is not the majority of the population.
You have this backwards. This is very likely a minority (MAGA) outraged that their minority view (no IVF) will not be enforced. They are bombing the attorney general that said he will not enforce it.
The majority voted for the people who wanted to keep abortion legal.
This is the act of someone who knows they can’t win at the ballot box.
Exactly. When all peaceful means of democratic governance are ignored, violence becomes inevitable.
Nothing is being ignored. Your side just wants violence for violence sake.
Which side do you think I’m on?
Id love to see your list of “all peaceful means”. I’m willing to bet it’s very short.
If you have the numbers, you protest as a show of force. If you don’t, you terrorize as a show of force.
If you have the numbers of people with the money and time to protest, yes. Though that hasn’t done much to sway the Supreme Court.
They were never supposed to be accountable to the electorate (it was obviously a bad call with hindsight). The way the system was designed, that should fall to Congress… but they’ve been derelict for decades now.
It’s generally the other way around, where an individual with an opposing extreme view has to be louder than usual due to being silenced by numbers.
In this case the minority is in control and ignoring the majority.
