Didn't watch the two videos embedded in the story because there's a chance it's speculation at that level. Read the whole text portion again however.

I did not see 'suicide' mentioned.

Investigators say the US Army soldier who died in an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas left a note saying it was stunt to serve as "wake-up call" for the country's ills.

Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, also wrote in the note that he needed to "cleanse my mind" of the lives lost of people he knew and "the burden of the lives I took".

Livelsberger apparently harboured no ill will toward president-elect Donald Trump, Clark County sheriff's officials said.

"Although this incident is more public and more sensational than usual, it ultimately appears to be a tragic case of suicide involving a heavily decorated combat veteran who was struggling with PTSD and other issues," FBI Special Agent In Charge Spencer Evans said at a news conference.

Very well. I concede your point.

Someone finally called it a suicide. While the poor bastard in question called it a 'wake up call'. But, he was deemed off his fucking rocker, so...

Trump pissed off because U.S. flags are at half-staff to honor former President Jimmy Carter and will remain so during his inauguration:

"The Democrats are all 'giddy' about our magnificent American Flag potentially being at 'half mast' during my Inauguration," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, incorrectly using the term that refers to flags being flown halfway up the mast on a ship, not a flag pole. "They think it’s so great, and are so happy about it because, in actuality, they don’t love our Country, they only think about themselves."

Sounds as if his brain committed suicide a while ago...

Fellow Servicemembers, Veterans, and all Americans,
TIME TO WAKE UP!
We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves.
Military and vets move on DC starting now. Militias facilitate and augment this activity.
Occupy every major road along fed buildings and the campus of fed buildings by the hundreds of
thousands.
Lock the highways around down with semis right after everybody gets in. Hold until the purge is
complete.
Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and
military by any means necessary. They all must go and a hard reset must occur for our country to
avoid collapse.
-MSG Matt Livelsberger 18Z, 10th Special Forces Group

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.
We are crumbling because of a lack of self respect, morales, and respect for others. Greed and
gluttony has consumed us. The top 1% decided long ago they weren’t going to bring everyone else
with them. You are cattle to them.
We have strayed from family values and corrupted our minds and I am a prime example of having it
all but it never being enough.
A lot of us are just sitting around waiting to die. No sunlight, no steps, no fresh air, no hope. Our
children are addicted to screens by the age of two. We are filling our bodies with processed foods.
Our population is too fat to join the military yet we are facing a war with China, Russia, North Korea
and Iran before 2030.
We must take these actions if we are going to make it past the next few years in one piece:
We must end the war in Ukraine with negotiated settlement. It is the only way.
Focus on strength and winning. Masculinity is good and men must be leaders. Strength is a
deterrent and fear is the product.
Weeded out those in our government and military who do not idealize #2.
The income inequality in this country and cost-of-living is outrageous. The number of homeless on
our street is embarrassing and disgusting. Have some pride and take care of this.
Stop obsessing over diversity. We are all diverse and DEI is a cancer.
Thankfully we rejected the DEI candidate and will have a real President instead of Weekend at
Bernie’s.
We must move on from the culture of weakness and self enrichment perpetuated by our senior
political and military leaders. We are done with the blatant corruption. Our soldiers are done
fighting wars without end states or clear objectives.
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?
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.
Consider this last sunset of ‘24 and my actions the end of our sickness and a new chapter of health
for our people. Rally around the Trump, Musk, Kennedy, and ride this wave to the highest hegemony
for all Americans! We are second to no one.

Meadmaker, if you see this: would you please quote that guy´s diatribe over at SC?

Don´t understand how blowing up a Tesla Cybertruck at Trump Tower is what one does to advocate these sorts of beliefs. Maybe ed or WildCat can work on that lol.

What, it´s like if somebody crazy wanted to protest the Presidementia-elect they´d go blow up a Subaru at Ben & Jerry´s.

Poor bastard was nuts no question about it. Fascinating that he failed to realize how many Rethugs would have to be bumped off in his little wake up call in order to get where he thinks the country ought to be.

Wonder if this guy ever read Hitler's little tome. Sure sounds like it.

I was always taught that "half mast" was the correct term, even sans nautical connections.

Either way it seems possible that Trump having a personal issue with a half staff or half mast, whatever you want to call it, may be a cardiovascular issue, maybe from his being overweight. Or possibly as a side effect from medications he may be administered such as strong antipsychotics, only the very best strong antipsychotics.

If we really wanted to give Mango a massive coronary we'd fly the flag up side down which is a signal of severe distress. As for the fat shit head saying I don't love Umerca, he's full of it as usual. I'm actually quite fond of my country. I just take exception regarding what it has become as a result of pinheads like Mango limp pecker. Out of all the people who die of natural causes at his age, why not that shit smear? Alas there'd be another fucking idiot to take his place.

Bloody Yanks just gotta be different.
