Las Vegas Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger claimed his shocking suicide wasn’t a terror attack but a way for the US soldier to cleanse his mind, police revealed Friday.
Las Vegas police said Livelsberger left behind two notes in a charred cellphone recovered inside the singed Tesla he rented that suggests a motive behind why he detonated explosives and shot himself in front of the Trump International Hotel Wednesday.
“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, 37, wrote in a notes app on his phone.
“Why did I personally do it now? I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.”
In another letter recovered by police, the active member of the Army’s elite Special Forces warned his fellow servicemembers, veterans and all Americans to “WAKE UP.”
“We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves,” he wrote, police said.
“We are the United States of America, the best country people to ever exist! But right now we are terminally ill and headed toward collapse.”
