As a thoroughly reasonable person, I routinely carry a loaded handgun, a spare magazine, and a liner-lock knife.
Not possibly in Scotland. Members of the public may own certain firearms for the purposes of sport shooting, recreation, hunting or occupational purposes, subject to licensing. Did you see personal safety in that list. Different country.

That’s right ... their laws prohibit reasonable people being reasonable ... their enforcement of such laws gives aid and comfort to rapists and murderers.
Your commentary seems to give support to their evil laws.
I, on the other hand, do not hesitate to call out stupid and evil regimes whether in America or abroad.

It seems to work for them. The UK generally has lower rates of violent crime, especially gun-related incidents, compared to the U.S.
Overall crime rates
United Kingdom: According to the ONS, the overall crime rate in England and Wales was approximately 80 crimes per 1,000 people in 2023. This includes all types of crime, from minor theft to serious offenses.
United States: The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program reported a national crime rate of about 47 crimes per 1,000 people in 2022. However, the U.S. tends to have higher rates of violent crime, particularly gun-related incidents.
Violent crime
UK: Violent crime rates are generally lower than in the U.S., especially when it comes to gun violence. The UK has strict gun control laws, resulting in far fewer firearm-related incidents.
U.S.: The U.S. experiences higher rates of homicide and aggravated assault, largely due to the prevalence of firearms.
Property crime
UK: Property crimes such as burglary and theft are more common in urban areas but are generally on par with or slightly lower than U.S. averages.
U.S.: Property crime rates vary widely by region but tend to be higher in some U.S. cities compared to their UK counterparts.
You mentioned murder and rape:
For example, the U.S. homicide rate in 2023 was approximately 5.76 per 100,000 inhabitants, while the UK’s rate is much lower, with a 2023-2024 rate for England and Wales being around 9.5 homicides per million people.
The United States had, by far, the highest homicide rate of the G7 countries between 2000 and 2023. In 2023, it reached 5.76 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, a decrease from 6.78 in 2021. By comparison, Canada, the G7 nation with the second-highest homicide rate, had 1.98 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2023.
That number is very telling.
As per rape, the information I could find was here:

And if you’ll check the color graph, it indicates that there are almost double the amount in the US from the UK

LOL!!!
Yeah let's be just like UK, right Chuck? (or is that Sarah?)
No, thanks. I'll take America any day, and you can have your precious moslem rape gangs. Or they can "have" you ... and you can't do anything about it.
I'm familiar with the American legal system.
You view yourself as a calm, rational voice of reason.
Will this encourage the Scots to demand their leaders let them carry in public? Will it be more than just demands: will they succeed? Will this encourage the deportation of "Asians"?
It'll be interesting to see.
Out of curiosity, do you have a daughter(s) in whose upbringing you have actively participated? If you don’t want to respond, I understand.
“...you can have your precious...”
It’s not my precious, it’s theirs. I respect their right to govern their land as they deem necessary. If there was a problem as this has been going on for over 300 years, then perhaps the people of Scotland should have fixed it before this. And they didn’t get it done before this.
“and you can’t do anything about it.”
I was in Kuwait and Afghanistan. I’ve contributed to a number of them not being able to raping or killing anymore. And it’s Chuck if that’s the one you wish to use. But I think I’ve contributed to the American way of life. And I also respect their right to govern it as it is. And I’ve been in on some connecting to change things in my area of knowledge for the military to get a better job performed. So I might have a little better grasp on this than a few.

“You view yourself as a calm, rational voice of reason.”
I’m just an old senior NCO and civil service manager that has played the game. And as you know since you are knowledgeable in the legal system, there are paths, but also limitations. And there is always another story. If you go by the book, then they have to invent ways to get you.

Don’t get me started on Rittenhouse. That’s another story.
If the Scottish people want to use her as a pinup for their cause concerning English rule and their laws, then that’s fine. Lucky no one was hurt...yet. Hope it doesn’t reach the point where people get killed when they could talk it out. Violence is the last resort, not the first.

We can ohly hope. But they seemed too cowed to rise up on their own behalf. We should be dropping pamphlets.
Good. post. Clears up the whole thing. Girl did the right thing.
A child on the street attempting to defend herself is in no way comparable to your role in the military. (BTW, thank you for your service.) The focus of many of the responders on this thread was empathy for a minor child living in an environment fraught with danger. Frustration with the legal systems in both countries induced people to respond positively to the girl's behavior.
You mean when the 14 year old girl reasonably held a knife and an axe to defend herself against a murderous invading immigrant?
Only a globalist sympathizer would turn against the girl.
The good news for us is the globalist murderers haven’t been able to take our weapons from us. The reason they failed in this game is none other than low IQ.
“You mean when the 14 year old girl reasonably held a knife and an axe to defend herself against a murderous invading immigrant?”
Are we watching the same video? Can you tell me where he physically attacked her to do harm? He could easily have done it but didn’t. And what happened to the other girl that just grabbed her phone and walked away? No attack there either. And didn’t the knife possessing girl walk to her left a ways down the sidewalk and then turned and came back brandishing her knife in a threatening manner? Appears like she physically threaten the migrant.
I don’t care what people think of her or the migrant in this scenario. But I respect the laws of their country they established as long as they respect ours. And I spent about half my life defending our right to do so. I would be awful hypocritical to say they can’t.

If he had physically attacked the girl it would have ruined his purpose.
His purpose is to portray normal people as criminal.
This man is part of a subversive group of infiltrators and invaders. Their aim is to use the laws of the country against the country itself. (I should add, the letter of the law can be turned into a suicide pact, but the spirit of the law never can. The enemy’s failure to see this truth is another measure of their low IQ. Reflect on this point and we’ll return to it later.)
To be concise, the fact that he can manipulate doesn’t make his subversion right.
The man is the perpetrator. The girl is the victim.
Stop allowing yourself to be manipulated.
It doesn’t take military or legal experience to see that the moslem guy is playing dirty.
In fact, when a person’s military experience informs them that this moslem is the victim and the girl is a criminal, then I start to wonder if they were paying attention at all during their years of military service.
What an absolute sissy this moslem guy is.
“that the moslem guy is playing dirty. to see that the moslem guy is playing dirty.”
Playing dirty and breaking the law to be restrained in some way is a very different status. If that was the case then it’s past time to arrest almost every politician in the US. What the migrant did was not against the law. What she did was.
“...that the moslem guy is playing dirty.”
You call him muslem, I call him a migrant. The article calls him a migrant. Not all migrants are muslim and not all muslems are migrants. And not all muslims are child molesters. Maybe you should get more contact with what’s out there. You might find there is a difference.
“It doesn’t take military or legal experience...”
You’re partially right. I spent half my career 17 years is half, with the government evaluating terrorist groups and their actions like the muslims you are talking about. So I may have a little more experience than the common person on the street with that. And I don’t trust a single thing CNN says.
