Soldier who blew up Tesla at Trump hotel left note saying blast was to be a 'wake up call' for US
A highly decorated Army soldier who fatally shot himself just before an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas left a note saying it was a stunt to serve as “wake up call” for the country’s ills.
Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, Colorado, also wrote in notes he left on his cellphone that he needed to “cleanse” his mind “of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.” Livelsberger served in the Army since 2006 and deployed twice to Afghanistan.
“This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives,” Livelsberger wrote in one letter found by authorities and released Friday.
You're viewing a single thread.
Livelsberger’s letters covered a range of topics including political grievances, societal problems and both domestic and international issues, including the war in Ukraine. He said in one letter that the U.S. was “terminally ill and headed toward collapse.”
Do you notice how the side he takes on those grievances is not mentioned? I wonder what that means.
Edit: Oh wait, he was a "Trump-loving supersoldier patriot," I know exactly what that means.
Yeah it's been hard to parse what his actual goal was. Like, you want to wake people up. To what, exactly? I can make assumptions, but haven't seen facts outlining this yet. It sure sounds like he was in a really bad place mentally though.
They always want us to wake up, but they never want us to be woke...
The neutral contents are valid and I feel empathy for him. Then I read your comment and now I ask myself how often they had to redact the N-Word from his text,....and now I'm angry and sad.
So much energy towards a common goal wasted for stupid fascist shit. Propaganda works my dudes...
Not his words.
