… Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the Cybertruck was rented to Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an active duty U.S. Army servicemember who was serving in Germany but was on leave in Colorado at the time of the incident. CBS News spoke to two relatives of Livelsberger who were unaware of any involvement in the incident, but who confirmed he had rented a Cybertruck. One relative told CBS News that Livelsberger’s wife had not heard from him in several days.
McMahill said gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars were found in the back of the vehicle after the explosion, which occurred about 15 seconds after the vehicle pulled in front of the building. It’s still unclear how the explosives were ignited, he said.
Good point on the generator thing.
But yeah. At worst this was some kinda weird symbolic thing rather than a “try to kill as many people as I can” thing.
These are not exclusive. Killing people could have been the intention - it’s possible that it just blew up on him earlier than intended.
He parked it in the valet drive.
Not something somebody who wants a body count would necessarily do; compared to driving it into a lobby.
Aside from a cybertruck being shit at off road; it’s very heavy and there’s no bollards or other barriers to stop him.
Is it a possibility? Sure.
But it’s also a possibility that he had the kero and gas for other reasons like a party in the desert, and it was all just an accident.
Apparently he was a self avowed “defender of fireworks” and seemed to be, how shall we say, an ardent trump supporter.
This won’t stop the Faux News peanut gallery from painting him as an antifa left wing communist Venezuela Democrat who wants to murder babies and spend your money on drugs for the homeless!
They’ll never pass an opportunity to shove as much bullshit as possible into any situation. :/
you’re not wrong, but lets just be honest here, half the time they’re just making shit up anyways.
