Migrant From Chad is Charged Over Edinburgh “Stabbing” After Two People Were Injured and Schools Were Put Into Lockdown

An immigrant from Chad has been charged after two people were hospitalised by a man allegedly roaming the streets of Edinburgh with knives, prompting schools and nurseries to be put into lockdown. The Mail has more.

A 23 year-old suspect was arrested on Monday following a stand-off with armed police, who rushed to a tower block in Calder, west Edinburgh, at around 8.30am. 

Neighbours said that the knifeman was “covered in blood” and had ransacked a local shop, with two people rushed to hospital with “non-life threatening injuries”. 

Schools and a nursery situated nearby were put into lockdown amid the immigrant’s rampage. 

A man with stab wounds was treated at The Royal Infirmary and a woman received treatment for a cut to her head “not believed to be caused by a bladed weapon”. They have both since been discharged.

A suspect was eventually arrested following a seven-hour stand-off at a tower block near Calder Gardens. The attacker had been pictured peering out from a window on the 11th floor. 

The Mail understands that the man is an immigrant from Chad, central Africa, who has lived in the city for three years.

He will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday. Police say the incident is not terror related. 

In a statement released on Tuesday, Chief Inspector Scott Kennedy warned that misinformation about the incident had been spread online. Police received no reports that the knifeman tried to enter a school or nursery.

Isn’t diversity wonderfully, so many colourful maniacs running around.
Anyone ever see Demolition Man we’re as defenceless as the citizens in that.

I am beginning to think that the only way that something can be classified as a terror related is if they sign a confession or phone in a threat of action.
Truly shocking.

Or they can classify it as far right.

Sign a confession = “bizarre writing behaviour.” Clear proof of mental illness.

If they are Muslim then it automatically rules out terror it seems, no matter how terrorist it is.

One can see how a minor incident, like a chap harmlessly sauntering about with a big blade in each hand and making a bit of a mess in a shop (and maybe a bit of stabbing), leads to really serious side-effects, like spreading misinformation online. Thank god my taxes are being used to counter this.

Misinformation is clearly the more serious crime

He is not 23yrs old, look at him! Good grief. And what about the one in Alum Rock, Birmingham? I think he fatally stabbed a guy and injured a woman on Monday. I saw he was black on the footage but that’s it;

”Police say this guy is 23. I won’t comment as he’s been charged, and it would not be right to speculate in case I’m accused of spreading false information.”

Just think how much time & energy & money the police forces, emergency services, social workers, and the intelligence security services, are forced to waste on this predatory locust swarm from the Third World! How peaceful and prosperous the countries of the West once were, only a few decades ago, before this Mass Invasion, which nobody ever voted for!

I agree with Fjordman, the Norwegian blogger who said years ago,
“Islam must be expelled from the West.”

If he’s 23 then I am the King of Chad.

He may well have lied and said he was a child when he claimed asylum 8 years ago meaning that the authorities believe he’s now 23.

Why don’t we extend the open borders idea and tear down the fences and gates and Longleat? This way we can enrich the surrounding areas with some Tigers, Rhinos and Hippos and a few other cutlerally varied lifeforms. After all Hippos, Lions and Rhinos used to roam these lands during the last hot inter glacial, so we are on stolen land.

Or open the gates to allow all the migrants in then shut them again.

I guess he’s just another poor foreign man with severe mental health problems …. and it’s obviously our duty to import hundreds of thousands of them every year …. so we can give them “a better life” as they carry out the violence which the voices in their heads tell them we deserve.

Unfortunately, the British Establishment seems to believe that we DO deserve it.

I keep hearing the mamby pamby mass immigration supporting left say that “people are not committing crimes because they are migrants, they are committing them because they are criminals, and we have UK citizens who commit similar crimes”. ——-Absolute CRAP.
