Vegas Cybertruck Bomber Who Called for ‘Purge’ of Dems Deemed Not a ‘Risk’ to Public After Seeking VA Mental Health Help, You Won’t Believe Why
Police said Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty Green Beret, caused an explosion outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day.
He died in the blast, which injured seven people but caused only minor damage to the building. Livelsberger had rented a Tesla Cybertruck for the attack, which was also heavily damaged.
Before the explosion, Livelsberger had been seen as someone struggling with mental health but not dangerous.
He had visited a military Behavioral Health program multiple times in the past year and was diagnosed with depression. The Department of Veterans Affairs found no signs that he was a threat to himself or others.
However, just one day before the attack, Livelsberger sent emails to several media outlets, saying he had a vehicle loaded with explosives.
Investigators found a rifle with a scope, a GoPro camera, food supplies, and two backpacks near the scene. One of the backpacks contained ceramic tiles, which police think could have been used as body armor.
In messages he left behind, Livelsberger expressed anger at Democrats and American culture. He called on veterans and militias to “purge” federal buildings of Democrats and to block highways. He urged people to try peaceful methods first but said they should be ready to fight if necessary. He wrote, “They all must go, and a hard reset must happen for our country to survive.”
Livelsberger rented the Cybertruck in Colorado and drove it to Nevada, buying two guns legally along the way. Investigators are now looking through his phone and digital records to understand what led up to the explosion. They found a detailed log of his actions in the 10 days before the attack, which they hope will provide more answers.
