    “Soldier who died in cybertruck”

    I like how they’re not calling him a terrorist becaus he:

    • Failed
    • Is a soldier

    Also, I like how there’s no implication that he tried to blow up said cybertruck, he was just killed in it. 🙃

      From everything I’ve seen, he really didn’t want to hurt anyone else. He packed the cyber truck full of fireworks, not actual explosives.

      It was a flashy suicide. Not an attack.

        Can you direct me to something that substantiates this? Did he write that he didn’t want to hurt anyone? From what I’ve read of his stuff, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was just that dumb.

          He was a veteran Special Forces soldier. He knew how to put together a bomb. This is right up there with “Veteran Shoots Self In VA Parking Lot.”
