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.

Before the shooting, Davison expressed his admiration for Donald Trump on Facebook and posted multiple self-pitying YouTube videos in which he identified himself as part of the incel community. On his Facebook page, Davison claimed to be from Arizona, but his distinctive accent is typical of people from the south-west of England.

In one post from 2018, Davison shared a Trump quote and, when his friends ridiculed him in the comments, the suspect hit back: “You may not agree with his political views (I do) but he is different from the scum like Hillary or the people running our country like the neo-con sellout that is [then-British Prime Minister] Theresa May.”

Elsewhere in the comments, Davison wrote about conspiracy theories that sound similar to those pushed by QAnon believers. He wrote: “Scepticism of government is key and everyone should be ready and prepared for anything bad that could happen. I am aware much of the government is deeply flawed there are many paedophiles and even reported devil worshipers people that sell us out to foreign countries.”

The article says that on Facebook, Davison followed pages of Trump and his family and businesses, the NRA, Fox News, and "Ted Nugent for President." And he said his dream was to move to the US.

On YouTube he called women "simple-minded" and said sexual assault was justified because women ignore men who are average or below average in appearance. He complained that he'd missed out on having a love life when he was a teenager because of his weight, but said he wouldn't want a relationship with an adult woman because she would have had other relationships and would be incapable of loving anyone "like she did when she was 16, 17, 15."

Psychopath.

24. Thanks pandr32 for the clarification

[pandr32]

30. The US was considered a leader in the world

Now we lead in the worst of ways. Biden is, of course, trying to right the course, but we have to do something about the propaganda that we churn out--in concert with other bad actors like Putin.

31. What's funny is that women aren't running away from this guy because he's ugly -- he

15. CBWD

This deadly disease running through deer herds, nothing new, happens with overpopulated herds, has crossed species. Bubbas eating deer brains wrapped in bacon. Now it is raging through MAGA bubbaville. CBWD stands for, and this is not a joke, actually stands for Chronic Brain Wasting Disease. Wildlife biologist need to necropsy a few dead bubba brains, what little they have, to verify. That’s what dissecting microscopes are for. Viewing small specimens.

10. It figures. (nt)

11. So now he is radicalizing young folks across the pond....

The depth and breadth of trump's sick indoctrination is just horrifying.

[Champp]

12. Republicans have followed the lead of their values role model

and degenerated pathetically. They are now toxic, and proud of their disgracefulness.

Sad.

[Chainfire]

13. Well, he is certainly "well prepared for anything that might happen."

[IronLionZion]

14. He's a crazy British terrorist

who wishes he was American and is totally delusional. It's kind of like American wingnuts who wish they were German Nazis or Russians or whatever.


The Trumpy postings prove he doesn't have a political agenda since fat bearded white males can't be terrorists.

[LiberatedUSA]

16. He doesn't hate women because of anything to do with love.

He wants a warped relationship where he gets all the sex he wants, when he wants, and she is just there the rest of the time. He certainly doesn’t want somone that would voice disagreements or objections; or dress in a way he doesn’t like.

Someone should have handed him one of those expensive realdolls, cause that is really what he wants. He hates women for their humanity.

17. The first victim was his mother

A three-year-old girl was among the victims during the six-minute incident in Keyham, in Plymouth.
The first victim was a 51-year-old woman, who was known to the killer, with police saying they were investigating whether they had a familial relationship.
The shooter then left the unnamed address and shot the girl and her 43-year-old male relative in Biddick Drive.
Two further victims were a man, 59, shot in parkland nearby, and a woman, 66, killed at Henderson Place.
...
Police have said they are keeping an open mind on the motive for the killings. A neighbour and friend of the Davison family has said the shooter had fallen out with his mother and that they argued about his misogynist views. The neighbour said:

Maxine and Jake used to be close. You’d always see him helping her with the shopping at Lidl but they started to clash a lot. Jake was very quiet growing up. He was a troubled soul. He got into guns and he knew everything there was to know about them.

...
One of the victims has been named as he shooter’s mother, Maxine. Davison frequently spoke of his hatred for his mother in recent posts online. He described her as “my vile dysfunctional chaotic mother” and the only woman he had any social contact with. He also alluded to a financial dispute with her over benefit money he felt he was owed because he claimed he had autism.
