Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is praising law enforcement for finding and arresting a man who allegedly detonated an explosive device outside the Alabama Attorney General's office in late February.

Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, 26, of Irondale, was charged with aggravated use of explosives and possession of an unregistered destructive device, according to the Department of Justice.

The explosion occurred in the early morning hours of Sunday, February 25th, near Washington Avenue and South Bainbridge Street, outside the Alabama Attorney General's office.

According to court documents, the FBI used social media to match the stickers, goggles and Calvert to the bombings. Investigators also found videos on Calvert's social media pages in which he spoke about “violent impulses.” Prior to his arrest, the FBI had been monitoring Calvert and his silver 2008 Toyota Camry at his Irondale home and other locations.

“[W]”We have a great coalition of federal and state partners who have aggressively pushed for this action, and I'm very appreciative of the collaborative efforts of those agencies, not only as the person responsible for the people who work for me in this building, but also as someone who, frankly, wondered if he was a target, because this was not a simple investigation,” Marshall said. “You know, it wasn't very clear initially who the target or the person of interest was, and it took a lot of effort and a lot of good law enforcement activity to find him, and I'm really proud of that effort.”

According to federal court documents, surveillance footage showed Calvert placing stickers on the doors of the Alabama State Capitol and other government buildings at the time of the explosion, including phrases such as “Support Local Antifa,” “Down with All Class Systems,” “Feminist Activism,” “Rip Off the Rich” and “Friends Don't Let Their Friends Be Cops.”

Marshall believes the stickers prove that Calvert targeted him, possibly for his actions as attorney general, which have been heavily criticized by left-wing activists.

“I'm sure there's a sigh of relief from the roughly 180 people who work in this building, who work for the people of Alabama,” he said, “because we feel like we've been targeted. And my job puts my face on a lot of hot-button issues that the left doesn't like. And the fact that someone who loves Antifa would purposefully come to Montgomery and obviously place an explosive in our building is a significant threat to our government here in Montgomery and a threat to the way we do business.”

The attorney general also criticized media coverage of the incident, saying that if the suspect had been a Trump supporter, it would have received more attention.

“[Y]”Add to that not only his philosophical beliefs, but the fact that he has spoken out on social media about his violent tendencies and aggressive behavior,” he argued. “So this is the cause of the carnage that we saw in Seattle, Portland and other parts of the country. And can you imagine what the story would have been if his face had been seen as the face of someone who was in Washington on January 6th?”

Calvert has made it clear on social media that he has violent tendencies.

“I'm naturally impulsive, and sometimes those impulses can be violent,” Calvert says. “Some people might call them intrusive thoughts, and some might just call them violent urges. I don't think we talk too often about how hard it is for violent people to overcome that. [violent impulses].”

Kyle Calvert also wondered in his post, “Why don't we kill the government now?”

If convicted, Calvert faces up to 20 years in prison with a minimum sentence of five years. One of the charges carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and the other carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
