The person who authorities believe died in the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck packed with firework mortars and camp fuel canisters outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel was an active-duty U.S. Army soldier, three U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The truck explosion came hours after a driver, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, rammed a truck into a crowd in New Orleans’ famed French Quarter early on New Year’s Day, killing at least 15 people before being shot to death by police.
Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran, also spent time at Fort Bragg but one official said so far there is no overlap in their assignments there.
How does a special ops military person decide to use fireworks and gasoline? Hell, Timothy McVeigh was a bit more inventive than this. And the shooting, where there was no scar after a week??
This is all starting to stink to high heaven every new day and news story.
People have been warning us, for years, of the impact decades of war and multiple combat deployments have on people…for those who forgot how some Nam vets struggled. I remember, in the 70s, how the wigged out Nam vet was such a widely used narrative to drive TV police shows, that Vets organizations started asking TV shows to stop pushing the stereotype.
Another person Hamas has been able to misinform and lie to blatantly about this war.
Hamas has next to no reason to be at war with Israel other than their ongoing bigotry against Jews. You have to go back in time to 2006 to see how the lies have piled up. Then think of 2005 when there was an election and the Palestinians did not get what they voted for from Hamas.
The power of suggestion. The dishonesty of using people who listen.
He then sets the recording device on the ground before pouring an unknown liquid over himself and igniting it while yelling “Free Palestine” repeatedly. He eventually collapses as police officers rush to douse the flames with fire extinguishers.
Hamas was famous for suicide bombers back in the 2007 period. The group looked for the mentally weak to kill themselves in protest. They are laughing at the US military over these suicides.
Some of us began to point out online that Hamas used the mentally weak. That Hamas’s children were in Swiss boarding schools. Palestinian parents had to stop Hamas from murdering their children this way.
Only two of us so far have cared about the Sudanese famine. If you have not touched that topic but you are rabid on the topic of Gaza ask yourself why you care about one and not at all about the other. You need to take a look at yourself.
Ok, what?!?! The cyber truck that blew up in front of Trump hotel. That story is a special ops military person on leave who used fireworks as a bomb. Nothing hamas or palestine or any other story. I have no idea how my comment got dragged into the war in vietnam or mulsim history.
The Vegas incident was a straight up suicide, with theatrics. The stuff the guy had in the truck didn’t even produce enough shockwave to break the glass in the doors of the hotel. Livelsberger had been deployed to Afghanistan in 17, 18, and 19. The NOLA perp was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009. Like Nam, being in a war zone wears on a guy.
Iraq and Afghanistan vets have a suicide rate about 50% higher than the general US population.
The Army has recently confirmed that Matthew Livelsberger, the soldier behind the Trump Hotel bombing, sought mental health assistance.
Livelsberger was granted personal leave from his unit in Germany because “he did not display any concerning behaviors at the time.”
In a statement on Saturday, an Army spokesperson confirmed Livelsberger sought mental health assistance and “did not display any concerning behaviors” when he was granted leave before the bombing on New Year’s Day.
I looked up his service record a few days ago. Apparently, the guy did three combat deployments in Afghanistan, in consecutive years.
So the media is making excuses for the white guy, but not for the NO perp, who was also deployed to Afghanistan, in 09. Since his stint in the army, the guy had three failed marriages. But all the media talks about is he is the Islamic boogyman.
