The Migrant-Fuelled Self-Defence Crisis: How Are Girls to Protect Themselves Without Weapons? By Richard Miller (Londonistan)

In Dundee, Scotland, on August 24, 2025, a 14-year-old girl, dubbed "Mayah: Young Queen of Scots" on social media, was charged for brandishing a kitchen knife and a hatchet to ward off a man allegedly stalking her and her 12-year-old companion. The viral video, reported by ZeroHedge and Nevada News and Views, shows the girls shouting "Don't touch her!" as the man films them, refusing to leave. No violence occurred, yet Police Scotland arrested the teen for carrying a "bladed weapon," while the man faced no charges! This case exposes a dual crisis: an immigration-driven surge in public safety fears and a legal system that punishes self-defence, leaving young girls vulnerable. With migrant-related crime rising and UK laws banning even pepper spray, how are girls supposed to protect themselves against male attackers when police can't teleport to the scene?

The incident, near St Ann's Lane in Dundee's Lochee area, captures a broader malaise. Right Angle News Network (August 25, 2025) reports the girls felt threatened by a migrant man filming and harassing them, with the older teen pulling out weapons to deter him. Nevada News and Views notes the man's provocative behaviour, daring the girl to "show the knife," suggesting he knew the law favoured him. The mother of one girl, per capwolf.com, claims the man and a woman were sexually propositioning the younger girl, escalating the confrontation. No official police statement confirms harassment, but the absence of charges against the man fuels suspicion of bias.

Scotland's crime statistics paint a grim backdrop. Police Scotland (2024) recorded 2,500 rapes or attempted rapes, with conviction rates below 50%. Sexual offences by foreign nationals rose 62% from 2021 to 2024, compared to 39.3% for British citizens, with Afghans and Eritreans showing a 110% spike (Telegraph, August 26, 2025). 1919 Magazine (June 3, 2025) reports 91 youths under 18 caught with knives in 2024, reflecting a "youth violence epidemic." Women and girls, facing 1 in 30 odds of assault (Rape Crisis, 2025), increasingly carry weapons out of fear, as trust in police protection wanes.

The UK's strict weapons laws, under the Criminal Justice Act 1988, ban carrying knives over three inches, pepper spray, or stun guns, even for self-defence (Nevada News and Views). Violators face up to seven years in prison. This leaves girls like Mayah defenceless against stronger male attackers. Scottish Women's Rights Centre (2025) defines stalking as a "course of conduct" causing fear, yet police response times, averaging 8 minutes in urban areas, per GOV.UK (2023), are useless in immediate threats. Rural areas, like parts of Scotland, can see 30-minute delays. As ZeroHedge asks, what are girls to do when "police can't teleport"?

The Dundee case highlights this dilemma. The 14-year-old didn't attack; she brandished weapons to deter a perceived threat. Yet, UK law doesn't distinguish intent, carrying is the crime. In contrast, Nevada News and Views notes Nevada's concealed carry laws allow citizens to protect themselves, a right UK girls lack. The Independent (June 3, 2025) reports a 10-year-old caught with a knife in Edinburgh, suggesting even children feel compelled to arm themselves. Without legal self-defence tools, girls face a brutal choice: risk assault or prosecution.

The incident's immigration angle amplifies the outrage. ZeroHedge frames it as part of a "multicultural invasion," citing a 2014-2024 migrant surge, 2.5 million net arrivals to the UK (ONS, 2024), that fuels crime. Sexual offences by foreigners, 14.1% of convictions in 2024, rise faster than native rates, with Afghans at 59 per 10,000 compared to 1.13 for Britons (Telegraph). Protests, like Epping's over an Ethiopian migrant's alleged assault on a 14-year-old, reflect public fury (Telegraph, August 26, 2025). X posts like @Basil_TGMD (August 24, 2025) call the Dundee arrest "horrific," arguing the girl's bravery contrasts with police inaction against migrants.

This perception isn't baseless. Gript (March 11, 2025) notes cultural attitudes among some migrant groups, like Afghans, correlate with higher sex crime rates. The man's filming, per capwolf.com, suggests confidence in impunity, a sentiment echoed in Dresden, where a Syrian refugee stabbed a man and was released (ZeroHedge). The Courier UK (August 24, 2025) omits the man's migrant status, fuelling cover-up claims. While InfoMigrants (August 6, 2025) warns against xenophobia, the lack of transparency breeds distrust.

Banning self-defence tools in a high-crime environment is madness. A 2023 Pew survey found 60% of UK women feel unsafe walking alone at night, yet laws disarm them. The Scotsman (April 24, 2025) reports a separate incident where a 14-year-old girl was charged for knifing a peer at Hazlehead Academy, showing weapons are a last resort for scared teens. If a 12-year-old faces sexual propositions, as alleged in Dundee, what's the alternative? Screaming? Running? These fail against a determined attacker. STV News (2024) notes 91 knife seizures from youths, suggesting widespread fear, not aggression.

The government's response, housing 30,000 migrants in hotels while appealing Epping's closure (Telegraph), ignores public safety. The Guardian (2024) cites Denmark's transparent crime-by-nationality data; the UK's delay until late 2025 fuels suspicion. A "red list" for high-risk nationalities, as proposed by Robert Bates (Migration Central), could prioritise safety without blanket bans. Meanwhile, legalising pepper spray or tasers, as in 38 U.S. states, would empower girls without lethal risks.

The Dundee girl's arrest isn't just about immigration, it's about a system that punishes victims. If she were defending against a white Scot, she'd still face charges, but the migrant angle, given rising crime stats, amplifies the injustice. Scottish Police Federation (2025) calls for preventative strategies, not just policing. Fund youth programs, as Scottish Labour suggests, to curb violence. Allow non-lethal self-defence tools, as Knife Magazine advocates, to protect girls. Cap migration to pre-2014 levels, 150,000 annually, to ease tensions. Otherwise, the UK risks more scared teens wielding axes, not out of malice, but survival. When girls can't defend themselves and police won't, the system isn't broken, it's complicit.
