I'm a Terminator. The whole premise of the Terminator movies is that everything's rigged against you, there's no hope for humanity, we're right on the brink of extinction, 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. I know it's a movie, but I like to think sometimes I'm a Terminator or something and despite reaching almost total system failure, he keeps trying to accomplish his mission.
~ Jake Davison in his manifesto.

Jake Davison (c. 1999 - 12 August 2021) was a British man responsible for the 2021 Plymouth shooting, in which he killed five people before committing suicide.[1]

Biography edit

Davison was born in England, although he always claimed to have been born in Arizona. Growing up, he was diagnosed with multiple mental disorders, including autism, and was known to have anger issues. He had tried to get treatment on the NHS but was unable to.

Davison had a YouTube channel called "Professor Waffle", on which he posted videos about weightlifting and guns. He was obsessed with guns and America, to the point of falsely claiming to be born in America, and followed many pro-gun channels. He posted pro-American material, pictures of American flags and quotes from former US President Donald Trump on his Facebook page.[2] He also often talked about how he wanted to join the British Army, which was why he did so much bodybuilding. Davison identified as a member of the "incel" movement[3][4], a misogynistic online movement made up of "involuntary celibates" that blames women for their virginity, claiming not to have so much as talked to a woman since he was 18 and that the only way his life could be worse was if he had been sexually abused.

2021 Plymouth shooting edit

On 28 July 2021, Davison uploaded his final video to his YouTube channel. In this video, he went on a rant about his hatred for women and called himself a "Terminator" after the famous sci-fi film.[5]

15 days later, on 12 August 2021, Davison got hold of a pump-action shotgun and, dressed all in black, charged into the family home in Biddick Drive, Plymouth, and fatally shot his 51-year-old mother Maxine, who had clashed with him over his extreme views. He then walked outside, shot and killed a three-year-old girl and her mother and non-fatally shot a man and a woman, leaving them with life-changing injuries.[1] He went on to kill two other people before shooting himself dead as the police closed in.[6]
