Nail Bomber Found – Care To Guess His Identity?

In relation to the explosion outside the GOP AG’s office in Montgomery, on February 24, a radical leftist was taken into custody on Wednesday. 26-year-old Irondale resident Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert is charged with two felonies: possessing an unregistered destructive device and using an explosive maliciously.

Calvert, a self-described engineer and anti-Israel “pansexual,” appears to consider himself a member of Antifa, a liberal extremist group that former President Donald Trump claimed should be classified as a domestic terror organization in 2020. Calvert displayed pro-abortion and LGBT agitprop weeks before the event, along with the identical anti-fa material that was ultimately discovered close to the bomb location.

“We are breathing a big sigh of relief knowing that this guy has been taken off the streets,” Republican Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said following Calvert’s arrest.

The Republican attorney general went on, “I think it is reasonable to state that this was not a random act of violence, even though additional information will be given in the coming weeks.” “We are happy that the perpetrator is facing federal charges carrying a severe jail sentence, and we are appreciative to our federal and local partners for their cooperation in this issue.”

On February 24, at around 3:42 a.m., a nail bomb went off outside AG Marshall’s office building. Marshall said in a statement that “luckily, the explosion did not hurt any staff or personnel.”

According to the DOJ, none of the nearby buildings sustained “serious damage.”

The FBI and state officials published security camera footage and photos of the pigeon-footed suspect, who was wearing a black jacket, round goggles, a cap, and a blue mask, attaching communist propaganda to state buildings at the time of the bombing, a few days after the explosion.

On March 1, Republican governor Kay Ivey emphasized the need for “every effort to safeguard the residents of the State of Alabama” and announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to the offender’s arrest and conviction.

Court filings state that they observed Calvert approaching the Republican AG’s office on February 24, at 3:35 a.m. A few minutes later, there was an explosion.

A “coffee container-like receptacle that contained insulating material soaked in a gas or lighter fluid mixture, a mortar, firecrackers, and nails,” according to investigators, formed the basis for the device.

Terrorists have historically used nail bombs to increase the damage they can do to soft targets and create a wider radius of destruction. At a 2017 Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, for example, the Islamic terrorists used this kind of device to murder 22 people, including children, and hurt far over 1,000 more.

The act of planting and setting off the IED on the sidewalk next to a government facility, according to the charge statement, “demonstrates that this device was employed as a weapon against property and/or to inflict injury or death.”

Investigators had an easy time with Calvert because he did not try to hide his limp and drove his Toyota Camry to and from the scene. They were able to identify the car as being his later on because of the “poorly matched repair job” on the driver’s side rear door and the “several uniquely shaped and put stickers on the rear bumper” of the vehicle.

Because of his apparent sticker addiction, Calvert was more than a little bit involved in the scene.

One of the stickers that Calvert reportedly put near the bomb location, according to the prosecution, said, “SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ANTIFA.”

Some stickers said “MY BODY,” “DEATH TO FASCISM,” and so forth. MY CHOICE,” “NEVER WORK,” “ABOLISH ICE,” “FRIENDS DO NOT LET FRIENDS BECOME COPS,” and “EAT THE RICH.”

Along with stickers that said “Smash the patriarchy,” “Anti-fascism is a community defense,” and “Queer liberation, not rainbow capitalism,” Calvert displays stickers “of identical design to the stickers put around the Statehouse and downtown Montgomery” in a Jan. 10 video that he originally shared to his TikTok page, as referenced in his charging document.

“I am impulsive in some way that may frequently be violent, or my impulses are aggressive,” Calvert said in the video.
