Crime Stories with Nancy Grace - 'Involuntary Celibate,' 22, Blames Mass Shooting on Lack of Sex

Episode Date: August 17, 2021

A man accused of killing 6 people in one month was apparently a YouTube vlogger who ranted about being a “f***ing fat ugly virgin.” Jake Davison, 22, a crane operator who complained about not getting women, allegedly killed five people, including his mother and a 3-year-old girl. Afterward, he turned the gun on himself, causing fatal injuries. Davison also posted several YouTube videos and called himself “Professor Waffle.” In most of the videos, he can be heard complaining that he was too ugly and fat to attract women, and hoped that bodybuilding would help him.Joining Nancy Grace Today: Matthew Mangino - Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County), Author: "The Executioner's Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States"  Dr. Jillian Peterson - Forensic psychologist, Associate Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Hamline University (St. Paul, MN), Expert on Mass Shootings and Violence Prevention, Author: "The Violence Project: How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic" Joe Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Featured on "The Piketon Massacre: Return to Pike County" on iHeartRadio Dave Mack - Investigative Reporter, Crime Online; host: The Mark and Mack show, LifeRadio.fm Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is an iHeart Podcast. How does a 22-year-old young man with his whole life ahead of him, a loving family supporting him, everything, how does he turn into a mass shooter? And how does the word incel, involuntary celibate, factor into this scenario? An incel, a male that feels so rejected and so mistreated by women, he wants to kill them. We are talking about 22-year-old Jake Davison. Take a listen to our friend Paul Brand. A yellow tent tells you where, but not yet why, his victims were chosen. In Plymouth, police search for answers which may never truly be found.

Can anything explain the motives of a man who mostly let luck decide which lives he took and which lives he traumatised? A couple of the gunshots went off and I ran up to a pub and the owner came out and he shouted at me, he just went, get in here, get in here now. And so I forward rolled into the pub and I literally clung underneath one of the pool tables, hung on for dear life. And I froze. He locked the door and he closed the windows.

And my mum sent me a message saying, hide, stay safe, stay down, lock yourself away. Outside, 22-year-old Jake Davison was targeting others seemingly at random. His weapon, believed to be a pump-action shotgun. You are hearing Peggy Holliday, a survivor of this mass shooting. Joining me, an all-star panel, but first to Dave Mack, investigative reporter with Crime Online and also host of a hit series, The Mark and Mack Show at Life Radio FM. It's also on podcast, The Mark and Mack Show. Dave, you and I covered the Pulse shooting together in Florida. And just yesterday, Dave Mack, I was in Orlando because this week would have been little Kelly Anthony's Sweet 16. And I went by Pulse to see what had become of it. And it's turned now into a memorial, like a shrine,

to all of the bar goers that were murdered that night. But something reminds me of Pulse in this scenario. You heard Paul Brand reporting and the survivor, Peggy, stating that the perp went about and was people were shutting windows. People were basically trapped there trying to protect themselves. Tell me what happened, Dave Mack. Who is this guy, 22-year-old Jake Davison? Jake Davison is a 22-year-old who has been working as an apprentice for a defense and engineering company called

Babcock International. He's a so-called bodybuilder who has posted many, many things on social media over the last several years. And at 22 years old, he is finding himself at totally loose ends, to the point where he blames women. In particular, he blames his mother for all of the failures in his life. And he just came to this point where he grabbed his pump shotgun and started to seek revenge on the people, first of all, that he saw as the enemy or the people who caused him to be in the situation that he's in you mean women specifically starting with murdering his own mother i'm looking at a photo right now jack i don't know if you can see what i've got up and this is of jake davison posting a photo of himself

the rambling virgin as he is called davison says he hoped working out would help him be more attractive to women. The Rambling Virgin. And in his postings, he does ramble on and on and on. With me, as I said, an all-star panel, including Matthew Mangino, former district attorney in Lawrence County, now lawyer-author of The Executioner's Toll, Dr. Jillian Peterson, forensic psychologist, associate professor of criminology at Hamlin University in St. Paul, and expert on mass shootings and violence prevention, the author of The Violence Project, How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic,

Joe Scott Morgan, professor of forensics at Jacksonville State University, author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon and star of a brand new hit series on iHeart, The Pipeton Massacre, and of course, investigative reporter and star of the Mark and Mac show, Dave Mack. Guys, I want you to take a listen to reporter Paul Davies with ITV. He also researched online the culture known as incels, men who like himself view their own bodies as loathsome and unlovable. Lewis Brace at Exeter University had studied the culture and says it can have tragic consequences. In most people this materializes in severe case of depression and increased risk of suicide. But for a small minority,

these views start to express themselves in violent ways and they start to think about conducting violent actions against women. Elliot Roger was probably the most notorious incel killer. Seven years ago in California, he shot dead six people and injured many more before turning his gun on himself. But to you, Matthew Mangino, attorney joining us, former prosecutor and author, that does not rise to any type of insanity. He writes, I used to be okay with being a virgin, but when you get older, inferiority complex kicks in and missing out occurs.

Trying to be a sexually frustrated male with tons of health issues, you feel like you miss out on so much in life. That's not insanity, Matthew. No, it's not. It's more in line with entitlement. Jake Davidson feels as though he's entitled. He's entitled to have an intimate relationship with a woman. He's entitled to be a healthy person.

He's entitled to have friends. It's all about what he wants. You know, these are the words of a selfish person who feels as though he's not getting what he deserves to have. Matthew Mangino, you're usually very precise, but I have to disagree with you. It's not that he wanted a relationship with women. As far as I can tell, all he talks about is sex. He's not having sex. He doesn't want to be a virgin. And he's P.O.'d about it.

I don't think he wants, like, a relationship where they go out and have coffee and they take long walks together and read poetry out of books in the park. He just wants it down and dirty. That's why he's mad. Right. He wants to dominate women. You know, he's a male supremacist. He's the kind of person that is entitled to do whatever he wants in terms of his relationship with a woman, to dominate that woman.

You know, he's a selfish, self-centered person that wants his own way. Well, other words come to mind, but I don't think Fox Nation or Series 6 then would like me to say them on the air. Take a listen to our cut 10. This is from Channel 4. It's an online subculture defined by anger and loneliness translated into hatred for women. Jake Davison described himself as an incel, what appears to be a growing community of men who identify as involuntary celibate or unable to form intimate relationships with women. You know, the reality is, is that, you know, love is for the young. You know, love is for the young. That's the fact of the matter. Love is for the young. His videos have since been taken off message boards and forums, but you can see him clearly interacting with incel groups, describing his deteriorating mental health,

posting this clip that he felt represented their plight, and submerging himself into violent video games and gun culture. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Dr. Jillian Peterson joining us, Associate Professor of Criminology, Hamlin University in St. Paul and author of The Violence Project, How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic. Dr. Jillian, you're very familiar with the incel subculture. Explain. I am, yes. There's a section in my book on the incel subculture and how it relates to mass shooting. So incels, like we've been hearing in these clips, are self-declared involuntary celibates. So men who aren't able

to have sex, who are typically isolated, depressed, lonely, who find other people who think like them in these online communities and can really get radicalized toward hatred and violence. And sometimes they talk about declaring war on what they call the Chads and the Stacys, which are the people of this world who are able to find relationships and have sex. And so this anger and sort of violence kind of brews on these chat rooms and in these communities. You are hearing the voice of Dr. Jillian Peterson, forensic psychologist and author. You said that he's not able to have sex. I believe he is physically able to have sex. I believe he is physically able to have sex. He's just not having sex. He doesn't have a woman to be with. But he is physically able. He's not

impotent. Correct, doctor? Yes, that is right. I misspoke there. It's just that no one will have sex with him. So he is angry that there's sort of no woman interested in him. So he decides he's angry at all these women and it's their fault. Dave Mack, how many people did he murder? He murdered six total. The one thing that strikes me on this is that Jake Davison looked at himself and saw fat failure, ugly. That's what he saw, and he equates physical beauty with sexual relationship. He doesn't see the depth. He doesn't see a relationship. He only equates it to the physicalness, and he claims his mother and her bloodline for him being fat and ugly in his own words.

That's why the violence that he showed towards her was different than everybody else. This guy pounded on her front door, Nancy, over and over and over. Neighbors heard him pounding on her front door. Then he kicks the door in and pumps a shotgun and blows his own mother away with a pump-action shotgun. After that, he went out the back door and just randomly shot at people. She was the focus of the attack. Everybody else, God love them, they just were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maxine Davison, Kate Shepard, Sophie Martin, to name a few, to try to kill Sophie Martin. He also killed Lee Martin, Sophie's father. You know, I'm looking at pictures

of this guy right now. He doesn't look, in his words, fat to me. He's pumping iron. He's obviously got a home gym going on, and he's lifting weights, and he kind of reminds me a little bit in the face of Jack Black, who I adore. But I wouldn't say that he's, as he says, fat. I don't see it based on the workout videos and photos that he is posting. And speaking of his postings, Joe Scott Morgan, have you listened to these things? Yeah, unfortunately I have. I wish I could take my brain out of my skull and scrub it with Comet. It's a horrible thing.

You know, he's sitting here and just pontificating over it. You know, he's got this platform that he was doing this on and revealing this all with, you know, his woes and what's going to happen that all doom and gloom. And, you know, the thing about it is, is that he's he's indulgent in and of himself. And it seems as though that maybe he had been indulged throughout his life to take on this martyr, this martyrship that he owns. And then, of course, in the end, he winds up ending all of these people's lives, including his own mother. It's it's it's unconsable. Because he's not having sex. He has to kill six people because he's not having sex. Guys, we are talking a lot about his postings, his rantings,

as he's been described as the rambling virgin. Take a listen to reporter Paul Brand at ITV Listen. Police will be analyzing rambling videos Davison posted like this one, appearing to identify with a sexist internet subculture, men who call themselves incels or involuntary celibates. Nothing's changed. Like, I'm still in the same position, same period in life. Still a f***ing this, that, virgin, f***ing fat, ugly,

whatever you want to call it. What's changed? Those kind of thoughts have been linked to violence before, raising concerns about why he had a gun licence. Clearly I'll be asking questions, definitely in terms of local policing and raising this with the chief counsel. But tonight, the main puzzle for police, why did Jake Davison kill his own mother and four others he may not have known at all? And of course, Matthew Mangino, prosecutors don't have to prove motive. That's not their burden to crawl into this guy's head and figure out why he did what he did. You've got to prove who, what, when, and that the act caused the death. That's what you've got to prove, but not motive.

Agree? I agree. And obviously in this situation, we know what happened. This isn't an investigation to try to determine who is responsible for the death of these five people. But what we can do by looking at this very closely is determine how we might do a better job of preventing this type of incident from happening in the future. What kind of red flags are there?

What kind of things should we be looking at in terms of online profiles and other things that might give us some indication that someone's going to act out in this violent manner? The only way to stop something like this, whether it's a mass shooting because you're sexually frustrated or it's a school shooting, is through intelligence, being able to gather information so that we can take some action to prevent it. You're not going to stop it necessarily while it's happening, unless in this case he shoots himself or something else happens. But we have to stop it before it happens. I agree. You know what? And a perfect way to do that,e scott how hard would it be these incels involuntary celibate guys go online in these chat rooms and whine and complain about how women are rejecting them hello why do you think you're being rejected because of your awful attitude because of your whole horrible hate for women that that that's why but how hard would it be to infiltrate these

identifiers that you would that you would be looking for for somebody that's why. But how hard would it be to infiltrate these digits online? And it would be specific identifiers that you would that you would be looking for for somebody that's kind of putting forth all of this rot. And it is rot. I mean, Joe Scott, how hard is it? Because the feds, well, really anybody can infiltrate hate groups like white supremacists, Black Panthers, all sorts of hate groups, the jihad. It's so anti-Semites. You go online and you can very easily get in their hateful chat rooms. Yeah, you can. It's not that hard. It's all dependent upon whether or not the government officials that have that kind of authority, it has risen to the level where they want to investigate it. How many women have to die, Joe Scott?

What level are you talking about? Well, to the level that it shocks the conscience of the bureaucrats that sit in the office and try to make this decision. Well, I'm shocked. crime stories with nancy grace guys we're talking about insults and how this these disgruntled angry men who are not having sex for whatever reason begin to hate women with such a deep titled Angry Men Who Are Not Having Sex For Whatever Reason, began to hate women with such a deep misogyny that they actually act on their hatred and commit murder. Back to Dr. Jillian Peterson joining us, associate professor of criminology,

Hamlin University in St. Paul, and author. Dr. Jillian, you mentioned that many of the incels refer to, they have monikers for people, stereotypes of people like Chad's and Stacy's. What's a Stacy? So a Stacy would be a good looking woman who can easily attract men. And a Chad would be a good looking man who can easily attract women. And I think a lot of these guys in this subculture, they hate Chad's and Stacey's, they hate women, and they also hate themselves. There's this kind of self losing aspect to it, which is why when we see mass shootings happen like this, oftentimes the perpetrator kills themselves in the act as well. Hmm. So Stacey's are women they'd like to be with and Chad's are men that they're jealous of?

Exactly. Okay. Now, what do you make of this guy, Jake Davison? I mean, there's no doubt in my mind he's an incel. Yeah, he does seem to have the ideology, to talk about the ideology, to have spent time online connecting with the ideology. What's interesting is the fact that he targeted his mother rather than targeting sort of Chads and Stacys like Elliot Rogers, for example. So he certainly blames his mother. Mass shooters always target what they see as representing their grievance with the world. So his mother is the main target and then everybody else is just kind of there. I mean, there's a whole jargon that goes into the incel, I guess you would say lexicon.

There are fake cells, there are vo-cells, incels, curry cells, ethno-cells. There's just such a variety, but they all have one thing in common, and that is hatred for women. Take a listen to this. He was a troubled young man, unhappy with the hand life had dealt him. But what turned the disgruntled Jake Davison into a mass killer? Detectives hope the clues will be found in his many posts on social media. I'm so beaten down and defeated by f***ing life. That drive that I once had has gone now.

A theme of his postings is his belief that he is unattractive to women and unable to get a girlfriend. These images he posted on the popular forum Reddit nine months ago, posing the question, am I ugly, brutally honest, and asking users to give him their opinions. You know what I've noticed, Dr. Gillian Peterson, is that if you look at the ramblings of the incels, they blame the women, the Stacey's, as they call them, for their, the perps, violent acts. They actually blame the women for what the killer does. They do. And you see this amongst perpetrators of mass shootings is they feel like they haven't been given what they're owed in this life. They're angry, they're depressed. And so they pick this thing to blame. And in the

ones I've studied, there's 22 cases where mass shooters have chosen women as it's women's fault. And so I'm going to go out and target women and I'm going to do this act so that everybody sees and witnesses how angry I am. So everybody's talking about it. So it's on the front page of the news. That's how I'm going to kind of get my message out so people are talking about it so it's on the front page of the news that's how i'm going to kind of get my message out so people are talking about well according to the most recent incel killer involuntary celibate jake davidson there's plenty of people to blame for his jake davidson's lot in life you were just hearing paul davies with itv now take a listen to our cut 53. Let's hear it from the horse's mouth. No, I can't. I'm so beaten down and defeated by life. That drive that I once had has gone now. You know, I try and I always keep trying,

but it's like, I'm at the point now where it's like, why do I even bother? For what? I'm still in the same house, same situation, same position, still everything's still the same. For the most part it's just been me against the world it's just been me fighting an uphill battle with a big rock on my back you know while i'm seeing that don't deserve half of anything now they're getting a free ride to the top so he says he's looking around and seeing other effers that don't deserve half of anything and they're getting a free ride to the top.

Wow. Matthew Mangino, attorney, former district attorney, I've seen so many defendants that resort to violence that blame other people that have had some semblance of success, like they have a job or they have a girlfriend or they have an apartment, blaming them for their crimes. There's no question about this. You know, as I said earlier, you know, this is a matter of entitlement. You know, my mother used to say that there's a lid for every pot, okay? So this idea that you can't find a romantic interest, you can't find a sexual partner, it's not that they can't. It's that they want a supermodel. They want a movie star. They want the most beautiful

woman that's out there. So they're jealous of the chads who have those women, okay. So now it just continues to grow. And now women are the focus of their hatred, not because they can't find a girlfriend down the street, but because they want the most beautiful woman. They want the most glamorous woman. And they're entitled to that. And because they don't get it, now they can funnel their hate toward women and take it out on women.

So how did it boil over ending in the deaths of six people? Take a listen to Paul Brand. Police were first alerted to gunfire at 11 minutes past six last night in the Keom area of Plymouth. It had begun at a house on Biddick Drive where Jake Davison's first victim was his own mother, 51-year-old Maxine Davison. He then left the house and took his gun onto the street, where his second victim would be his youngest, killing three-year-old Sophie Martin and her father, Lee Martin. Moving further along Biddick Drive, he shot and injured two other adults,

before turning into a park where he killed 59-year-old Stephen Washington and then on to Henderson Place where he shot Kate Shepard, who died in hospital. Back to Dave Mack, investigative reporter with Crime Online and star of the Mark and Mack Show at liferadio.com. It's also a podcast. Dave Mack, I'm listening to the events unfold about how six people died, but you say it all started with him kicking in the door of his own mother's place and shooting her? That's absolutely correct. He pounded on her front door. She wouldn't let him in at first, and neighbors heard the disturbance and started paying attention. Once he did finally kick in her door, she never actually let him in. He used that pump action shotgun and shot her. Then he's dressed in black and dark gray. He goes

out the back door, Nancy, and that's when, again, it's a hunt from there on out. Well, as it turns out, the police feared invading his privacy. They did not check his social media history before giving him back his shotgun that ultimately leads him to murder, him to kill six people. So is it true that his shotgun had been confiscated and cops gave it back to him, Dave? That's absolutely correct. What happened is he was accused of assault last September, and we're not exactly sure who that was with because some of the documents are sealed. But what he agreed to was to undergo anger management. After going through this anger management session,

the police then re-interviewed him and gave him back his shotgun and his license. The shotgun he used to kill six people. Well, I guess they didn't see this. Jackie, if you could play our cut two where the so-called rambling virgin compares himself to the Terminator. The whole premise of the Terminator movies is that, you know, everything's rigged against you. There's no hope for humanity, you know, we're on the brink of extinction, you know. These machines are unstoppable, killing machines that can't be beaten, can't be outsmarted. But yet, humanity still tries to fight to the end.

And I know it's a movie, but, you know, I like to think sometimes, you know, I'm a Terminator or something. Despite, you know, reaching almost total system failure, he keeps trying to accomplish his mission, you know? Accomplish his mission, you mean killing six people? Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, we are talking about a mass shooting by yet another incel, involuntary celibate.

But this guy by far Jake Davison, not the first. Incel. Possibly the most famous Incel is Elliot Rogers out of L.A. Take a listen to Elliot Rogers' own

Retribution YouTube video. On the day of Retribution I am going to enter the hottest sorority house of UCSB. And I will slaughter every single spoiled, stuck-up, blonde slut I see inside there. All those girls that I've desired so much. They would have all rejected me and looked down upon me as an inferior man if I ever made a sexual advance towards them while they throw themselves at these obnoxious brutes.

I'll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you. You will finally see that I am, in truth, the superior one, the true alpha male. Yes. After I've annihilated every single girl in the sorority house, I'll take to the streets of Isla Vista and slay every single person I see there. The hatred just oozing out of every poor. His misogyny, hatred of women, leading him, overtaking him to commit mass murder. That's what we're talking about when we say incel. Take a listen to this. Hey, Elliot Roger here. I'm up in the hills in Montecito right now. It's truly a beautiful day.

But, as I've always said, a beautiful environment is the darkest hell if you have to experience it all alone. And sadly, I've been alone for a very long time. I've been attending college in Santa Barbara for about two and a half years now. And in those two and a half years, I've experienced nothing but loneliness and misery. And my problem is girls. There are so many beautiful girls here, but none of them give me a chance. And I don't know why. I don't know why you girls are so repulsed by me.

This is a guy who has everything. A $40,000 BMW, $300 Armani sunglasses, flying first class all over the world, heading to a Katy Perry concert on a private plane, inside the privileged life of the so-called virgin killer his father a director of the hit movie series the hunger games and the dichotomy dr jillian peterson of hearing him go on and on about his miserable life when you literally hear the birds singing in the background of what I perceive to be a beautiful sunny day. I know those videos are so chilling. And this,

this is a case that I've spent a lot of time studying and talk to people who knew him and knew his life leading up to this. And this is where this kind of incel subculture and these online communities can really embolden someone. Because people will say before he started going online, he was depressed, he was sad, but he wasn't sort of violent. And we see the same thing with the Plymouth shooter. This is not just a guy sitting around sad and depressed because he can't get a girlfriend. This is someone actively making videos, going in chat rooms, looking for people to say, yeah, you're right. You should do this. Violence is the answer. We think just like you do. And it's finding that validation online that seems to sort of push these guys to another level. You know, that's interesting. Matthew Mangino, attorney joining us out of Lawrence County, author of The Executioner's Toll, former prosecutor, Matthew, it's kind of a pack mentality.

I've noticed since I really first started prosecuting that very often you see people in a group do things they would never do all on their own. Right. I mean, we see that in physical groups, you know, mobs, and we see that now manifests itself online, where you can go and you can meet as a group and you can share these thoughts that you have and then begin to build on those. And there are people in those chat rooms and online who are inciting violence, who are saying that violence is the right thing to do. And there's no issue of privacy here. If you're going to go out there and you're going to share your thoughts, your hatreds, your willingness to kill and to maim people because you're unsatisfied with your life. Well, we should be able to monitor that. And we should be. And we should be taking those kind of threats that are made online seriously.

How many women are going to have to die before the feds take the advice of attorney Matthew Mangino. But, you know, another issue, though, Dave Mack, was it Dave Mack or Matthew Mangino that gave a quote from his mother just a few moments ago? Mack. I wonder if your mother ever said, if your friends jump over a cliff, would you do it too? Because you go online and you hear people inciting violence just because they're inciting violence doesn't mean that you have to feed into it and do the wrong thing. Well, I think they're looking for that. They're looking for, you know, some way to funnel their frustration and hatred. And by going online and meeting people who have the same, you know, sort of interests or disinterest or hatred. Hatred. They build on that. And among one another, they begin to embolden each other

that this type of violent conduct is the answer to your problems. You know, batter women, kill women, and that's where you'll get some satisfaction for what you've been deprived of. Guys, take a listen to more of Elliot Rodger, virgin killer. I should be the one with the girls. I mean, look at me. I'm gorgeous. But you girls don't see it.

I don't understand why you're so repulsed by me. Why won't you give me a chance? It's ridiculous. I mean, the other day, I was doing some grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. And I was, of course, all alone, as I always am. Which makes me feel so miserable. Anyway, I was doing my shopping, and I see this, this, like, disgusting-looking loser. Well, he's a loser in my opinion. And he walks in with these two beautiful blonde girls at his side.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I was so insulted by that because I should be the one with the girls. Incels, involuntary celibates. You're hearing Elliot Rogers, a so-called virgin killer, but he's by far not the only incel killer. Take a listen and learn about Alec Meneassian. Police say he killed 10 and injured 14 others as he zigzagged from the street onto the sidewalk hunting his targets. His father leaving court yesterday, weeping after his son was charged. Manassian said to have taken to social media

just before the attack. The accused is alleged to have posted a cryptic message on Facebook minutes before he began driving the rented van. That message, including these words, all hail Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger. And not only him, but another incel. Does the name Trace Ginko ring a bell? Take a listen. A new federal case involves 21-year-old Trace Ginko from Hillsborough. Investigators say starting in 2019, he plotted a mass shooting of women at a university in Ohio. They say he often posted online. They reinforce each other's extreme interpretation of events around them. But they also share information about how to get firearms training. The feds say he had guns modified to work like machine guns, conducted surveillance, and researched sorority. the in the movement. They found manifestos Ginkgo drafted mentioning OSU, kill counts, and that

he would slaughter women. Gibson says manifestos outline reasons for violence while attempting to make the creators appear as role models. I think it's important that we take all this seriously so that we understand it correctly so we're better able to prevent it in the future. And there's more. Take a listen to our friends at NBC. Police identifying the gunman is 40-year-old Scott Paul Beerly. Authorities say he killed two people on Friday and shot five others before taking his own life. It appears Beerly posted dozens of misogynistic and racist videos on YouTube. The videos, which were not widely viewed, have been removed by YouTube because of their offensive content.

According to arrest records, Beerly had a history of harassing women in Florida. According to one Tallahassee police incident report slapped her butt, grabbed it and shook it. Both charges were eventually dropped. The reality is that Beerly goes on to become the so-called hot yoga shooter, going into a hot yoga class and opening fire, killing the women in the class. And now another incel emerges. Jake Davis is now dead, but when will the movement die? Nancy Grace, Crime Story, signing off. Goodbye, friend.
