… Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the Cybertruck was rented to Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an active duty U.S. Army servicemember who was serving in Germany but was on leave in Colorado at the time of the incident. CBS News spoke to two relatives of Livelsberger who were unaware of any involvement in the incident, but who confirmed he had rented a Cybertruck. One relative told CBS News that Livelsberger’s wife had not heard from him in several days.
McMahill said gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars were found in the back of the vehicle after the explosion, which occurred about 15 seconds after the vehicle pulled in front of the building. It’s still unclear how the explosives were ignited, he said.
The definition of terrorism is using fear of violence as a political motivator, and I think we all agree that Luigi was trying to make a political statement through the use of violence. Agree or disagree with his message, that was his methodology.
But yes, in this case, this was a self-immolation protest, with no goal of causing fear. Even if a monk accidentally sets a bystander on fire as a result of demonstration, that is an accident, and no one has any reason to be afraid the monk will come for them next.
I think Luigi if guilty was making a commercial statement. He allegedly attacked the health fund with the highest rate of claim denials with bullets marked with a statement about how they don’t serve their customers fairly
