throbber Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Just that it sounds like they were targeting a particular family. If it was a random racially motivated attack why do it in Homebase with CCTV everywhere?What does race have to do with it being done in a home base with CCTV around though? All that suggests is that it wasn’t a random attack, it could easily be racially motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only by the OP. The attack was in a retail park far away from the EDL protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Personally I think that the cop that stands at the door of Home Bargains could have done better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to stop these acid attacks in the future is to arm these security guards with acid. Nobody's going to try and throw acid at someone who also has acid to throw.

I don't think the Home Bargains door cop has a squirty function. Certainly never seen it used yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have bought brick acid from B&Q a few times and it dissolves mortar stains off windows, spirit levels etc. You can use it on a level that is totally caked in mortar and it will burn all that off in seconds and make it look brand new, I can imagine it being pretty devastating if it came into contact with skin but it never crossed my mind to throw it over anyone to find out first hand. A plumber who was doing stuff in my house recently said that the high strength drain cleaner he usually used wasn't going to be made any more because it was being used in acid attacks.

I've bought high strength sulphuric acid before for clearing drains. The effect is dramatic, bubbles and steam erupting, stood well back. Effective though.
