As of August 25, 2025, the case
involving the 14-year-old girl in Dundee,
Scotland, who was arrested for wielding a knife
and axe in self-defense, has seen significant
developments. The girl, initially charged with
possession of an offensive weapon, has been
released on bail pending further investigation.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service
(COPFS) has stated that the case is under
review, with considerations for the
circumstances of self-defense being taken into
account. Public and legal pressure has
mounted, with several petitions circulating
online demanding the charges be dropped,
garnering over 150,000 signatures. The alleged
attacker, a 28-year-old man of migrant
background, has been charged with attempted
sexual assault and is currently in custody. The
case has reignited debates on self-defense
laws, youth protection, and immigration policies
in Scotland, with the Scottish Government
announcing a review of self-defense legislation
expected to conclude by early 2026. The
incident continues to be a focal point in
discussions on community safety and the role
of minors in self-defense scenarios.
the obvious questions here would seem to be:
why was this man interacting aggressively with girls this age to begin with, especially to the point where they are screaming “don’t touch us”?
what had happened just prior or in past interactions that this man knew the girl to be armed or that the girl felt a need to make it known that she was armed (again, while demanding not to be touched).
i’m sort of amazed by the number of epistemological edge lord lawyers online saying “well, we really need to wait and see what happened” as though this situation seems ambiguous and perhaps scotland is being terrorized by a plague of wee lassies bullying the innocent menfolk, but info is starting to leak out.
some reports are stating that:
“The apparent mother of one of the teens present at the scene claims that the man and another woman were sexually propositioning a young girl when she intervened. The migrants then allegedly attacked her and that is when the weapons came out.” ...
let’s be serious about the salients here:
“don’t touch my little sister, she’s f*cking 12!” is not exactly an extreme ask from a child to an adult male stranger.
and somehow she’s the criminal in this episode?
how is the first question not automatically “why would she feel a need to go about armed and scream such things?”
if the response of your society is to arrest this girl, who harmed no one, and to act as though the man following and harassing her is the victim here, then your society has ended.
you are not a real people anymore.
you are food.
worse, you are collaborators in serving yourself and your neighbors up as a predator buffet.
saying "well brandishing a weapon is a crime!" is the empty legalism of a slave, a showing of one's belly to the alpha. ...

- prices seem reasonable, a bit lower than SF, but that's because the pound is so low against the dollar
- the majority of people on the street are clearly not English; they are from everywhere else on earth
