@habanerocat takes a fellas tweet and figures yer wan is in the wrong here. Case solved. She obviously stuck a needle into her own arm, and tweeted it then.
Was she spiked after she retweeted the photo of somebody else who had been spiked?
This suggests that while being spiked does happen (putting something in a drink) itâs unlikely to be done by means of an injection - people may be pricking people alright
David Caldicott, an emergency medicine consultant and founder of drug testing project WEDINOS, said: âThere are a couple of things that are disconcerting about this story. The technical and medical knowledge required to perform this would make this deeply improbable.
"It is at the level of a state-sponsored actor incapacitating a dissident, like the Novichok incident. The idea that a clubber would do this to a fellow clubber seems highly unlikely to me.
âItâs really hard to stick a needle in someone without them noticing, especially if you have to keep the needle in there for long enough, maybe 20 seconds, to inject enough drugs to cause this. If you were malicious there would be half a dozen much easier other ways to spike someone.â
Caldicott added: âItâs very important that when a young person believes something has happened that has deprived them of their cognitive liberty to take them seriously and investigate it to the hilt. This has not been adequately investigated.
âItâs entirely possible that this is some stupid fad of sticking needles into people, but the association between sticking needles into people and people being intoxicated and collapsing seems far-fetched at the moment, itâs very difficult to explain.â
As I said way back above, the needle element just doesnât make sense. Carrying it around, dosage, administering. Completely impractical and inexcusable if caught with it.
Versus a pill which is easily transportable, easily excused if found on the person (âitâs a yokeâ), pre-dose sized or at least to some degree and administered with far less difficulty or risk in being caught.
I dont believe Iâm a misogynist ( @glasagusban ) but the story strikes me as odd. Anaesthetics are very dangerous. You would expect that in these circumstances an excess dose would sometimes be accidentally administered, resulting in girls dropping dead in nightclubs, like how anaesthaeoligist Kate McCann accidentally killed her daughter Madeleine in Portugal.
I also think that the first report might have been a very paranoid girl but after that bad men will read the story in the papers and get ideas. A bit like how the media are supposed to have talked the USA into a crack cocaine epidemic back in the day.
Its being widely reported, arrests have been made in the UK over this sort of shit. Its not just one or two random places, the UK have had verified incidents in Nottingham, Norwich, Liverpool, Cardiff, Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle, as well as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen. And we have one reported incident now that clubs are back open here and the first thing people do is call it out as being lies or it doesnt make sense. I dont want to compare it to rape incidents, but its a fact that many women have not reported a rape incident because of a fear of being stigmatised or not believed and that they are making it up for whatever reason. This isnt the result of a paranoid girl making up a story and bad men then getting ideas, this is a case of absolute cunts attacking random women. And from what the reports are, its very widespread.
