Topic: Acid attacks soar in the UK
+Anonymous A — 13.1 years ago #25,713
Experts say they believe many of the cases involving acid are linked to Asian communities, with women attacked by their husbands and punished for refusing forced marriages, while men were attacked during disputes over dowries.
Latest NHS hospital figures record 144 assaults in 2011/12 involving corrosive substances, which can also include petrol, bleach and kerosene.
Six years earlier, 56 such episodes were noted.
Jaf Shah, executive director of Acid Survivors Trust International said that many attacks in Britain were not reported, because women targeted lived in fear of reprisals.
He said: “There is a reluctance among women in the Asian community to come forward; these attacks do not usually come from strangers, but from someone close to them in the community -- a husband, a father, or their family.”

They're throwing acid in each other's faces, so who gives a fuck, let them.

@OP
I wish people would go around throwing LSD in people's faces. That would make things better.

@previous (C)Psychedelic bombs could be the most beautiful form of "terrorism", it's not surprising the US gave up on psychoactive warfare for the most part. The effects were far too alarming and ghastly in comparison to more traditional munitions.

It's funny that the agency thought they could use LSD for mind control.
