Summary
Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Army veteran from Colorado Springs, has been identified as the driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day.
Livelsberger died in the blast, which injured seven people with minor injuries.
Authorities are investigating the explosion as a potential act of terror, noting Livelsberger’s military connection to Shamsud Din Jabbar, the suspect in the deadly New Orleans attack hours earlier.
Firework mortars and fuel canisters were found in the truck, with no confirmed motive yet.
I don’t think it’s the water supply, more likely that being part of an organisation that trains you to take lives devalues said lives for you. Also, military training is effectively inflicting trauma on you, and forcing you to adopt doing disciplined soldier stuff as a coping strategy. You know, the whole break down and build it back up thing.
