LONDON: 5 injured in seperate acid attacks

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed

I'm just saying, if one possesses the motivation and intent to end the life of another, they will do it with whatever they deem convenient and available.

In this case, they got creative. They used acid, but, you all know that's going to be banned soon.

Yeah looking like they were robbing folk as they did it.

Looks like robbers have been increasing using acid.

If you haven't already noticed there is a trend to ban pretty much everything. This is idiocracy at its finest.

Everytime a tool is used (guns come to mind) a group yells out see its dangerous lets ban it, we are running out of things to ban, ffs unless we ban stupid people we are all f@cked.

Robbing folk, now that's a reason to commit a crime, the have's and the have nots...people keep talking of the elephant in the room, in my opinion this is it, this is the ultimate reason for the hate.

They can't ban acid we all have it under our kitchen sinks we have to make examples of of them and give harsher prison time.

You've got that right!

What's next? Are they going to ban muslims?

Ahh what's this world coming to?!

Horrid accounts here in this article about the rise of acid attacks in London.

www.bbc.co.uk...

"There's no specific offence regarding acid attacks" This needs to change it is only GBH people can be done for.

Mentions evidence of gangs switching from knives to acid...
What a fecked up world we live in .

I haven't stated any facts only asked for them.

Haven't been supplied with any therefor my original assertions still stand.

Well why don't you get off your arse and look for them yourself in order to satisfy your intellectual erection?

If you have access to ATS you have access to Google too no?

Stop looking for a pathetic petty argument and show us you are more intelligent than that!

Many of the people who responded here are from the U.K. and know their history.

"Shakes head in dispair"... pathetic..

Lags

I'm too lazy loo look right now but I seem to remember a warning going out to people in the U.S about putting their frozen turkeys into deep fryers, I'm thinking forest gump.


If there is a box than can be ticked at a beaurocratic level you can bet your ass it will be banned.

How can you ban bleach? you have to prove intent to use it.
Pubs use caustic soda all the time to clean pipes acids are used in everyday life they can't ban it all.

I could kill you with a spoon.

Should we ban all spoons ?

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed

No nor did I say ban bleach and stuff...like I said before we have to make this punishable by making it it's own type of crime with a harsher sentence than GBH.

That comment is about as stupid as it gets.
So my 74 year old Mom is supposed to fight hand to hand? I carry and I'd bet I've been in more fights than you've had birthdays and I'm good at it.
I guess everyone is a trained martial artist or 6" 5, 250" and could wipe the floor with the average person, right? My son is even bigger than that, but he carries. He's not stupid enough to think he can handle multiple attackers with knives or use brute strength or some fancy fight training to solve every encounter. Over confidence gets you killed.
smh. I'll keep my Glock thank you.

No you jump to conclusions based on your warped narrative.
As usual...I bet you thought "Oh good it is the muslims again" and got all giddy.

No, try again its definitely a warped narrative.

a reply to: toysforadults

My life was touched by terrorism, Tim Parry a playmate when I was a kid killed by the IRA in 93. But did I think every Ginger Irishman immigrant was out to kill us all? nope.
Just stop being so eager wait a while for some basic facts eh? listen to the people who live here.

Acid attacks, a new chapter in terror. Vehicles mowing down pedestrians aren't terrifying anymore...

now splash this news around a lot so more deranged idiots will get the idea...
