The Internet Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) aye I've just come from over there.

Proper disturbing. Edited March 2 by The Internet

John Findlay Posted March 2 Posted March 2 From that short clip. The guy with a blade in each hand looked like he was as high as a kite.

Jeff Posted March 2 Posted March 2 can see why the police have struggled with this one given the perpetrator is wearing desert camouflage

Your name came up in conversation elsewhere about this. Least you're both ok. 👍🏻 Such a daft world we live in now. Aside from theological & racial differences.

Cade Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Edinburgh knife crime incident stats 2023; 178 2024; 203 2025; 250 The reduction in funding of the Violence Reduction Unit taskforce is one factor. For years the Scottish Govt had been treating knife crime as a public health issue instead of a crime issue and this had a marked effect in the reduction of incidents. Increasing inequality driving gang culture is another. The vast majority of these incidents is wee pricks chibbing other wee pricks.

It’s disturbing but thinking back to growing up in Muirhouse in the 70s it was pretty bad then too, let’s hope it’s not going back to those days.

Seaside Dave Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Should be shot until he falls. Then arrest him. If he dies from gun wounds who cares. Another rat just wandering about the streets with knives

Thunder and Lightning Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Sad times. Truly shocking. Also sad to see posters diving in tying to pull somone for their words on a message board before even commenting on the situation. Desperate to be offended.
ArcticJambo Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Can't imagine somebody like this lasting more than a few minus back in the day before a group of locals came out and ****ed him up!
escobri Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Nice of the police to let him go home for a cuppa after his morning escapades.

Negan Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Hopefully they blast him and he bleeds out. Will save time and money on a waste of air like this.

That would lead to the Scottish Gov. setting up a public enquiry at which his grieving family would be represented by ambulance chaser Anwar.

El Prez Posted March 2 Posted March 2 2 minutes ago, GinRummy said: “The incident is not being treated as terror related. Seems to be quite terrifying if you're on the wrong end of a pointy knife. Chalk this down to mental health & let's clog the system up a bit more. Hopefully those affected are able to recover ok. Which is ultimately what it's all about.
GinRummy Posted March 2 Posted March 2 3 minutes ago, pablo said: Wonder how they've established that already? Maybe from speaking with the victims? Certainly quick policework to rule out one possible motive so quickly.

Firstly how did plod in their cars not see the muppet and secondly why on earth did they not pursue him, knock him down and arrest him? I see the police are saying the incident is now contained? WTF does that mean have you arrested him? Edited March 2 by Seymour M Hersh
