Driver of Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas blast had spent years in US army

www.theguardian.com Driver of Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas blast had spent years in US army

Man who died in explosion that injured seven outside Trump hotel served over 19 years in military

Law enforcement sources confirmed to local news outlets that the electric vehicle was rented from Turo, the vehicle-sharing service that was also used in the New Orleans attack on the same day. There, suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar used the Turo app to rent an electric Ford pickup truck used in that attack in the early hours of New Year’s Day, which killed 15 and injured dozens more.

Fort Bragg
Lmao that has become the headquarters of the biggest criminal gang in America I stg
- Famous for nothing weird ever happening there

That's funny. Literally no one thought this was an attack. Everyone saw a cybrertruck and there was zero suspicion that it didn't just do that on it's own
- Ehh I wouldn't say zero. I was about 50-50
  
  it literally never occurred to me until now that it could be anything other than normal cybertruck stuff
  
  Every person at my new years day gathering (about 15 people) thought it was just Tesla shit.

I don't get how a green beret could be such an embarrassing donkey of the week. There's a video from inside the lobby post-explosion and it didn't even seem to knock out the windows of the hotel. What did he think he'd accomplish and why would he half-ass it in such a comical way? That's the most nonsensical bombing since that RV in Tennessee a few years ago.
- Firmly firmly firmly onboard the "this attack was not genuinely intended to do damage" train. Either this will end up (officially) being an "unfortunate accident" where some dude was just gonna go blow shit up in the desert and was staying at a trump hotel on his way there, and flicked his cigarette butt the wrong direction; or this dude's FBI-assigned "here's how to make a bomb" radicalization agent trained him wrong as a joke so that this could be used as a cybertruck & trump hotel ad.
  
  Wanting to blow shit up in the desert would be an Occam's razor explanation for having petrol cans and fireworks, and I could see a cybertruck guy being stupid enough to carry those things in a truck with an infamously electrified body. On that same tier I could see it being a spectacular suicide, like an obnoxious version of self-immolation with the most attention-grabbing vehicle he could rent.
  
  There is some fucking hamfisted "the ford electric truck killed all these people" "the cybertruck saved everyone" "the brown dude was an evil terrorist" "forget about shooting CEOs" messaging being hammered into the collective subconscious. Hypernormalization marches on.
  
  Or his FBI handler loaded up the truck and told him "Drive this to the Trump casino in Vegas, don't ask any questions."
- Look, they're still crayon-eating dogs of the empire at the end of the day.
  
  They're crayon-eating dogs of empire, but green berets are specifically trained in explosives. It's like if a sniper tried to carry out a mass shooting with an airsoft gun and only managed to shoot themselves somehow.
- RV in Tennessee a few years ago
  And they still haven't rebuilt the restaurants on that street! Still mad about this. Glad other people still remember.

Guys... I'm starting to think that the US military might not be a great institution when it comes to producing well adjusted people.
- you mean an institution with the explicit purpose of training killers is producing killers?

They were BOTH army at the same time at the same base, both were career army for years, new Orleans guy left in 2015 but stayed in the reserve until 2020.

Well, time to start dropping bombs on US Army bases, we must defeat this enemy!

So two army guys that may have had contact in their careers both rented electric trucks from the same company and did terrorism on the same day. If these are not related incidents, what the hell is going on?
- Just Fort Bragg things

terrorist to terrorist pipeline running strong

I highly doubt that a green beret would not understand the difference between pyrotechnics and explosives. This seems like solid evidence in my mind that this was an accidental blast and that the terrorism story is fabricated.
- In a funnier universe, he was merely going to film a vertical, reactionary rant as a guy in a truck with sunglasses as these types typically do
  The Tesla exploded because it just does that. Fireworks were also completely unrelated.
  
  I didn't think this is the case but I deeply want to believe this lol.
- Depends on the certs he achieved during his time in SF, but I know the GBs do recieve the basics of explosive manufacturing and utilization training to round out their skill set for the purpose of augmenting their force multiplier potential when deployed to create and train paramilitary forces in hostile territories.
- This was my hunch too, it also satisfies the propaganda purposes of pretending that musk & trump are poor wittle smol beans who are being persecuted
- Didn’t they announce that he had shot himself (or that someone shot him)? Makes this seem like much less of an accident
  EDIT: LIFE IS BURGER

- Counter point, having gotten the certification at one point doesn't meant that he spent all his time doing the "things".
  Its not unheard of for soldiers to get certs and special training for the pins, patches, ribbons, promotion points, and bragging rights then just never do much with them.
  Still want to believe the more funny reality that CloutAtlas described though.

They work for the state murdering poor people for decades, then everyone acts surprised when they attack pale skins. I guess they didn't blow up many cybertrucks in the army. Kind of a fail.

  Just a small note, but this sounds like Biden's quote, lmao, correct yer statement just a bit
  'poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids'

Don't fall for it y'all. This wasn't a terrorist attack at all. This wasn't some idiot who didn't properly stored flammable materials properly. The police have been saying "possibly" or "probably" when it comes to this being intentional. We all know these people aren't that smart and this is literally the most
way to die.

Off topic but I hate the news so fucking much. Kinda comical how it can be called “news” in the first place tbh
I just assume that the big stories are fabricated or outright lies
