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.

Are there any oak trees in the area?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Apparently so, but they can't be mad at the attorney general for the acorns. He's anti-acorn as much as they are.

The attorney general that says they will not enforce the IVF thing?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 64 points 10 months ago

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.
