Club/bar spiking by injection, is it really likely?

I mentioned before on a different thread that I’d criticized my daughters for drinking straight from the bottle, until it was explained that they never put the bottle down and placed their thumbs over the top, between drinks - to prevent ‘something’ being dropped in.

I think there have probably been a few occasions when a girl has actually been injected but I also think that since all the publicity some moronic males will have thought it funny/clever to prick a girl with a safety pin or something similar to get a kick out of scaring her.

It is moronic men causing the problem, our sons and grandsons that thinks it’s funny to humiliate women, they have no respect. Very attractive girls are targeted more, spiking is the extreme abuse in a culture that women are there to be abused, not just physical but emotional as well. The upper “class” men are worst they think they are entitled to do this and daddy will sort it out if it goes wrong.

I’m so glad I’m not a teen now.

My cousin's daughter had it done to her. They didn't get as far as getting anything into her system. She went to hospital to be tested etc and was told she was likely a target because of how pretty she is. It's really made her wary now and she said no more socialising in town for a while.

I'd feel harmed if someone jabbed a needle into me, even if they didn't administer anything. It's an assault and violation.

Can't believe you said that. Are you for real?

Being raped is being harmed

OH has a GD at Loughborough Uni, yes, at least 2 were spiked to her knowledge it’s easy when you’re packed on the dance floor to get bumped into, if you’ve had a few drinks you might say ouch and carry on dancing. Spiking drinks is rife you dare not put a drink down at a party.

Maybe a blunt way of saying it but most crimes are done for a reason. To get money or to rape someone would be a possible reason in this case. But sticking a needle in someone in a crowded bar does not achieve anything. Yes a mentally disturbed person may do it but I can not imagine it would be that common and has caused far more fear than it should.

What is your point?

It also allegedly happened at that awful gig where people were crushed and died.
Some very odd goings on there.

Certainly someone could jab you with a hyperdermic needle in passing or in a crowded bar - highly unlikely that they could then press the plunger and inject something in you before you jumped away at the pain of the initial jab.

So highly improbable to have happened in any numbers.
