A trans suspect has been arrested in the Feb. 24 bombing of the Alabama Attorney General's office in Montgomery. According to court documents, Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, of Irondale, Ala., had extensive Antifa propaganda that was used around the bombing. He allegedly made an IED with nails. Calvert is charged with malicious use of an explosive and possession of an unregistered destructive device. Federal prosecutors are asking the court to deny Calvert bail because is extremely violent and dangerous.
Charging documents against him say he also placed stickers on state buildings at the same time of the bombing depicting different graphics advocating for various political ideologies.
Some included the phrase “Support your local antifa.”
Antifa, short for Anti-Fascist, does not describe a particular group, but rather describes individuals who adhere to what they consider as “anti-fascist beliefs.”
The term Antifa is often associated with anarchist violent extremists, individuals who, in addition to holding anti-fascist beliefs, are also opposed to capitalism and the current form of the U.S. government and who advocate violence to achieve their goals, the charging documents explain.
The detonation took place in the early-morning hours of Sunday, Feb. 25, near the intersection of Washington Avenue and South Bainbridge Street outside Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office.
No one was injured and no major damage reported in the predawn incident.
Authorities released images of the suspect and the FBI set up a tipline.
Calvert’s arrest was announced Wednesday. Earlier in the day, there had been a heavy law enforcement presence near Fulmar Drive in Irondale.
“My staff and I are breathing a collective sigh of relief this morning knowing that this individual has been taken off the streets,” Marshall said in a prepared statement. “Although more information will be provided in the weeks to come, I think it is safe to say that this was not a random act of violence.”

Wait, if you are ‘trans nonbinary’ what exactly are you transitioning from and to?

The person who wrote original post is confused. The only article I found that mentioned this person’s gender described him as ‘pansexual’ and ‘nonbinary’.

Biden calls this “trannytransamentalillnessesamess”.
Yet, the January 6 bomber has not been identified. Interesting.
