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.

    Read the note… This guy must have had some TBI from his deployments. I mean he gets to the top of the forest, but then refuses to see the trees.

    Yes billionaires and the 1% are a cancer on society… So the solution is to put two of them in charge? Like holy shit, you literally just fucking said they didn’t care about us, and that we’re cattle to them. Oh except for these two, the illegal immigrant that made a fortune over staying his visa and pays no taxes, and the rape ape who’s been convicted of fraud multiple times, who hires illegal immigrants, refuses to pay overtime, and also pays no taxes. Those two are the shining exceptions…

    I can’t even fathom the cognitive dissonance he must have lived with daily. If this guy were in Jones Town he would have cut in line for his Kool aid even after seeing people start to drop dead.

    Thank you for your service, and for showing yourself out.

      Where did you find the note? I can only find articles that dissect it without its context.
