I have been reading about this shooter. There are media reports on commemts his friends and neighbours have made. If even half are true then people working with him turned a blind eye from his childhood on.
His school friends say he was playing Call Of Duty and other violent computer games when he was 5 yrs old.
People who knew him said that he was watching porn while in primary school.
He was in a special ed school and known to have huge interest in and knowledge of guns and mass shootings. There is mention of his diagnosis of autism and adhd.
"Mount Tamar ex-teacher Jonathan Williams criticised the apparent lack of monitoring for Davison Mr Williams wrote on
Facebook : “He would have had an Educational Health Care Plan which means the State recognises a special need and is legally bound to address it up to the age of 25."
He was moved to an adult secure unit after he assaulted someone and a few years ago he assaulted a couple but was only given a warning by the police at the time and went on an anger management course. If he had been charged he would not have gotten a gun license let alone a gun.
He was reported on reddit by a 16 yr old American girl for sending her pms about sex and even after he knew she was underage he kept doing this and told her he basically didnt care and that her age would not stop him.
His mother was actively looking for help with him and for him.
His videos describe women as objects. And his attitude shows that he detests them. Including his mother who had just recovered from cancer.
The Incel websites and YouTube seem to have offered him an outlet to express his anger. A space where his views were accepted. They boosted his theories and gave him more theories. So when his mum was telling him that he was wrong and trying to get him to think differently, he was never going to listen because he had all this online "proof" and shitloads of people agreeing with him.
An impressionable, violent, isolated, socially inept, gun obsessed, angry, women hating man came out of this and turned a gun on the only woman who probably loved him enough to try to help him all his life.
The victims are barely getting a mention. How fucking awful to be out walking with your little daughter and no doubt happy and enjoying your life only to have that brutally taken away from you.
His hatred of women obviously became a hatred of his world. He had no ambition. No desire to work. No acceptance of his own life. No respect for the essence of who he was. No love for himself. I dont believe he was the product of his immediate environment. Or the society he lived in.
I do believe he was the product of online material that is increasingly part of young impressionable boy's lives. Online games. Violent video games. Online aggression towards women
Online Pornography. Online groups of hate filled men.
Would he have become this person if he had grown up without the internet and access to violence and online hate groups? I seriously doubt he would have.
