The man suspected of killing five people before turning the gun on himself in a mass shooting in England on Thursday night was an incel Trump supporter who posted about devil worshipers in government.
The suspected shooter has been named by police as Jake Davison, a 22-year-old who is reported to have worked in construction. In a six-minute rampage, Davison killed his mom, Maxine Davison, a 3-year-old girl named Sophie Martyn, the girls father, Lee Martyn, as well as two bystanders who were identified as Stephen Washington and Kate Shepherd.
It was the worst mass shooting in Britain since 2010.
Davisons mother disapproved of her sons misogynistic views, and the two clashed frequently, an acquaintance told The Telegraph. Davison also beat up his father a couple of months ago, according to another source. Davison urgently needed mental health treatment, but wasnt able to get help in time, a family friend reportedly wrote on Facebook.
The NHS basically said they are short staffed and that was it, the friend wrote. The family even asked the police to come out to see him they didnt do a welfare check. And now six people are dead.

(9,955 posts)1. Well...
... after reading what he did and of the people he killed, I'm wondering what his definition of a "devil worshiper" would be... someone more wicked than himself, which seems incomprehensible...
