“Could explain a few things. Maybe.”
I might be able to rig up the batteries to light up the vehicle, but if I went around town trying to buy high explosives, as a non-Muslim, I wouldn’t get very far before being arrested.
likely story.
Also another story is out there that he sustained, and was treated for head injuries more than once explosions during deployments.
Something odd about this one. I think it was a dramatic suicide, rather than an attempt to kill people. He could have driven into the doors of the hotel before detonating, he coulda plowed through people on the strip. He coulda lit the fuse and stepped out with his AR and started killing people.
But who knows? That’s quite a coincidence that both guys were Army, and both hit on New Years Day, both in electric trucks, both rented from Turo.
These are crazy times... I’d sure be alert out there in public anymore.
Or, just a country song.
Rented Cybertruck Blues
Well, I had a love as true as the stars above,
But I traded her heart for a stranger’s love.
Now I’m sittin’ here, lonely as the wind,
In this rented Cybertruck, thinkin’ ‘bout my sins.
Chorus:
Oh, the wheels hum low, but the road feels cold,
I lost her trust, now I’ve got no hold.
The future rolls on, but the past’s stuck in the dust,
Just me and this Cybertruck, payin’ for my lust.
She caught me out when the truth came ‘round,
Packed my bags and said, “Don’t darken this town.”
Her teardrops fell, but her eyes burned bright,
Now I’m drivin’ aimless through the lonesome night.
(Chorus)
A high-tech ride with no place to go,
Silent as shame, yet it’s all I know.
No honky-tonk tunes, no diesel’s roar,
Just a high-priced regret that I can’t ignore.
Bridge:
This truck’s got no soul, it’s just cold and clean,
Like the life I wrecked for a selfish dream.
Her love was gold, and I threw it away,
Now I’m stuck in this chrome coffin, payin’ every day.
(Chorus)
So here’s my song for the fools like me,
Who think love can bend so recklessly.
When you’re left with nothin’ but a hollow machine,
You’ll know what I mean—life ain’t what it seems.
Outro:
Oh, the Cybertruck hums, but it don’t ease the pain,
It’s a fast ride to nowhere on a lonesome train.
I’d trade this tech for her soft touch,
But all I’ve got’s this Cybertruck… and that ain’t much.
Color me skeptical. Doesn’t make sense for someone to travel from Colorado to Vegas supposedly because of his break-up with the wife just to blow himself up(and shoot himself!) in front of a Trump hotel while in a Testa vehicle. Does not compute.
Convenient
There were several people here on FR who anticipated this.
One other thing. If really set on building a bomb to do some damage and kill people, any SF soldier could -easily- build something more like a fertilizer bomb or some such that woulda been way more destructive.
He had the training to know his device would basically set off fireworks and ignite the gasoline for a healthy fire.
But he woulda known that wouldn’t be like an actual IED.
There seem to be some odd things about this one. I hope we get a trustworthy result from Trump’s DOJ.
This is a busy week for action news and this Tesla bomb is such a puzzling story of contradictions and counter indicators that for some of us, at least for a while, it is drawing our attention much more than that huge mass murder terror event in New Orleans.
Why would a man commit such a horrible crime over a mere divorce? Millions get divorced each year without this.
Nothing to see here folks. Please go about your business as usual.
Is there independent verification, or she just says that?
I said this 12 hours ago.
So her last FB profile post was over 8 years ago, May 2016. Now here’s a hunch, maybe she left him and it has been hurting him mentaly all these years. Only woman he ever loved. She was a rabid TDS supporter, loved her but was Was so despondent he figured to take his own life and a tribute to her do this evil deed as a token of his esteem for her. It would make a good movie plot anyway.
How much is she getting paid to say all this horse sh#t?
If she’s afraid or responsible in any way...she’d lie her a** off since dead men tell no tales.
This attack is really weird.
A Special Forces guy who doesn’t understand explosives. Shot in the head before the bomb went off. Not nearly enough explosives to really damage the building.
I wonder if this wasn’t a murder dressed up as a terrorist attack
Where did he stay for the rest of the time? When did he rent the Cybertruck?
“detonated explosives stashed in the truck and shot himself in the head, Las Vegas police said.”
Hard to do. I thought he offed himself before detonating the explosives via a dead man switch or something.
“...when his father last spoke with him on Christmas Day, he told CBS News, all seemed normal. He “loved the Army and loved America,” Roger Livelsberger said. “
Very odd that he would do this then.
