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.

    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.
