ICTChris Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Last night in East London there were five acid attacks in just over an hour, with a teenager ending the night in police custody. One of the victims has life-changing injuries. There has been a rise in the use of corrosive substances, usually sulphuric acid, as a weapon in the last few years. Some counts say that there is an acid attack in London almost every day. In recent history this sort of attack has been linked to certain Asian cultures but it seems that it's spreading - two young Asian people were attacked by a white man in East London last week and a low-level celebrity is currently in custody facing charges relating to an acid attack in a nightclub. What can be done to prevent the rise in these attacks? Have any P&Bers ever had acid thrown at them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Judging by Magee's picture, I thinking he's had acid thrown over him at some point. (Sorry @Flybhoy*) * Spoiler No I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearbuyerbell Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Best piece of advice I could give anyone is simply never ever go to London. Let's compare London with say Crieff. How many enormous fires, acid and terror attacks has Crieff endured in the last 3 months? That's my point. And I don't like Crieff and everyone who lives there.

There was that massive fire on Crieff High St about 5 years ago. B aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the police probably have the right to take it off you but can't arrest you if you have at least thought of some half arsed reason for being in possession of it in the first place.

I'm sure that won't end with the culprit opening the bottle (with the pretence of drinking it) and launching it at the policeman's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can be done to prevent the rise in these attacks? Have any P&Bers ever had acid thrown at them? Answer 1: Ask people to stop being so unpleasant and/or ban sales of acid.Answer 2: Personally, I have never knowingly had acid thrown at me. However, I have lived in London, so it could have been me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Have had acid in my face and eyes before. Spent hours wishing I was dead so the pain would finally stop. Anybody who deliberately throws acid into somebody's face deserves to be publicly beheaded with a blunt knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
