Protests Turn Violent in Midlothian | Edinburgh News
Description
Protests in Midlothian targeting registered sex offenders—and those perceived to be—have spiraled into chaos, leading to charges against two teens and sparking unrest in Dalkeith and Bonnyrigg. Police are investigating vandalism and disorder, while Chief Inspector Gordon Couper warns that violence and hate crimes have no place in protest. He stresses that community safety is managed through established systems like MAPPA, and that taking matters into your own hands undermines those efforts—and diverts critical resources. Authorities urge cooperation and respect for lawful channels to keep communities safe.
