Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, Colorado, also wrote in notes he left on his cellphone that he needed to “cleanse” his mind “of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.” Livelsberger served in the Army since 2006 and deployed twice to Afghanistan.

“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 wrote in one letter found by authorities and released Friday.

    My Elon-brainwashed relative alerted me to the fact that on twitter, the main rumor is that he killed himself to bring attention to the drone sightings being a secret Chinese gravitic propulsion technology.

    God I hate that site.

          Honestly, the only deadnaming I can get onboard with. Although I do like referring to tweets as Xcrements now though.

      Obviously an excellent reason to kill one’s self. And he made his reasoning so clear too.

      I have been enlightened!

      Now, there’s probably some twisted reasoning that got someone to that conclusion. I wonder how it worked.

      That doesn’t even make any sense, but I’m not surprised.
