YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In an update from the FBI and Las Vegas police, a motive behind the Cybertruck explosion outside a Trump hotel was disclosed. Citing a "journal" kept by the suspect, identified earlier as Matthew Livelsberger, authorities said entries including critiques of the country.

"We are being led by weak and feckless leaderships who only serve to enrich themselves," an entry read."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?

At the Las Vegas press conference, authorities said Livelsberger, a Green Beret and Bronze Star recipient, also suffered from PTSD.

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," another entry read.
