Detournement Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Spiking is real. This is an urban myth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being 'widely reported' based solely on it having been 'widely reported' on social media beforehand though. That doesn't make it true. The idea that folk are walking into nightclubs with needles ready to line someone up just right to drug them is preposterous on multiple levels tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There absolutely was an incident in Dundee very recently where a girl had to get checked out in the hospital after a clear as day injection mark and bruising around the site could be seen. I couldn't tell you what it was found to be but I'd put a lot of money on it not being saline. I'm sure these cases are very rare but it absolutely has been happening and it's the behaviour of an utter c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did nobody think to check what she'd been injected with, like blood sample analysis and the like? I'm with the fruitloop and virgin on this, social media hysteria with barely a pin p***k of evidence. Apart from everything else it seems so impractical with little guarantee of success and a serious risk of getting caught even for your most dedicated beast.

That doesn't make it true. The idea that folk are walking into nightclubs with needles ready to line someone up just right to drug them is preposterous on multiple levels tbh. It has all the hallmarks of a recent media frenzy in Dundee (and doubtless elsewhere) of dog thefts which all shared remarkable similarities in that almost all seemed to happen to Facebook maws, all of the perpetrators had either Irish or "forrin" accents, all had a van which no EVER seemed to get a reg number for, save for one which went viral. So much so in fact that it was seen in about 15 different parts of the UK on the same day, despite having been scrapped several years previously. This was all over Facebook which of course is DC Thomson's main source these days so it was then reported as news, despite being absolute fucking nonsense on every level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to automatically believe that women are making up that they've been spiked. Some will almost certainly be correct; others will be mistaken without having 'made it up'. There is every reason not to believe that they've been spiked by some random bloke doing an Agent 47 move on them in a packed nightclub though, because it is patently ridiculous nonsense. HTH.

Detournement Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This is one of the posts being used as evidence. Just casually sticking hypodermic needles into one of thinnest bits of skin on a person's body without anyone noticing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The logic on this thread has taken a wild turn. Women are stating that they are having drinks spiked and in a few cases a small injection mark. This is neither new or original but has been going on for years and years. As much as we try to stamp it out, it still goes on. It is difficult to prove as these drugs get metabolised relatively quickly and the victim has no memory of the incident or what happens afterwards. But hey, they posted on social media so it must all be lies to get attention, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both - spiking drinks which is far more common that folk realise, and microinjections. I recall a cluster of cases in the mid-2000s that hit the news somewhere down south. Students getting targeted on nights out at the union. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
