Famous for nothing weird ever happening there
Yeah they changed the name cause it’s reputation was so bad
Even if nothing bad happened there it was weird to have a fort named for a Confederate
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
I only ever saw a picture of it on fire so this seemed kinda normal. Then my friend showed me the video of it actually exploding and it was pretty obvious they don't normally explode like that.
The explosion was kinda pretty, ~~but sucks that it killed someone (I assume the valet person)~~ Apparently just the driver died, but 7 other people were hurt.
Same except it was a couple of hours ago. I had to look at a tweet about the owner being an American named "Lifeisberger" twice before is sunk into my thick skull.
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.
We're gonna find out motor companies are actually radicalizing people to carry out terror attacks using their competitor's vehicle for the sole purpose of smearing it
Or his FBI handler loaded up the truck and told him "Drive this to the Trump casino in Vegas, don't ask any questions."
this seems like the most simple explanation
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.
I was on that street like 2 or 3 days before it happened visiting my ex. Ate at some hot pot/Korean BBQ place which I think at least had its windows blown out.
I'm a basic bitch and furious the Melting Pot hasn't come back yet. They're rebuilding the whole area with kind of an open air mall concept and that could be nice but it is taking forever!
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!
terrorist to terrorist pipeline running strong
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?
We need to shut down the army till we can figure this out!
Just Fort Bragg things
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.
reference to unaliving.
All I can think of that tries to exclude secret squirrel shit and goes non-conspiracybrain is that during his small window back in stateside, he went hogmode, tried to think of something cool that would appease the anger of his hog god-emperor and give the middle finger to the judas techno-demon at his side, went out to scout out good places to put on a show or was going to set up for the show, the demon machine spirit in his rent-a-can decides to BSOD on his ass and self-immolate while locking him inside, and super-trooper, knowing about how dogwater it is to burn to death decides to log out early.
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
