That's bullshit. Why are they targeting the responsible corrosive substance carriers?

(eta I'm appalled at the numbers, too)

Acid attacks are pure evil. I would be okay with legislation making carrying around corrosive substances in the street illegal in an effort to stem this.

I'm not sure that would do anything. I don't think these guys are walking around with a bottle of acid in plain sight. How would you enforce it?

(I ask b/c I don't know).

Acid is just a tool like a kitchen knife.

Long Chile was a silly place.

I'm not sure you would go around looking for people carrying acid but if someone was searched for other reason and had a bottle of sulphuric acid in their jacket I wouldn't have any problem prosecuting that. It's not like a gun which you could argue is for self defense.

Good point. Yes, I am on board with that as well. I'm still not sure whether it would cut down on these attacks, but I'm open to giving it a try.

It's not like they're going around carrying it every day for random attacks. It is usually for a specific attack on a specific person

No one going to comment on the demographics of the attackers?

Asian, 4.0 students who are pissed that they didn't accepted into Berkeley?

What are the demographics of the attackers? Besides "young men."

Lot of the victims seem to be non-white- south asian or middle eastern.

As are the attackers

Where do you see that?

Edit. Tough to say. This article says that most of the attackers and victims are white British men.

This other article says "experts say" it's linked to Asian communities. Whatever that means. And that doesn't appear to be a euphemism for "Muslim" if that's where you're trying to lead this. Acid attacks seem to be a cultural thing in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other places in a way that transcends religion and certainly precedes modern "Islamist" tactics. It was also a thing in Victorian England apparently, so not foreign to the UK prior to "integration" of south asian types.

The infamous UK nightclub attack was definitely a white dude.

It seems like it's hard to nail down demographics because so few of the dudes are caught or get good eyewitness descriptions. Seems to be hooded fuckers on mopeds that zoom by.

If you criminalize acid, only criminals will have acid.

Only good guys with sulfuric acid can beat bad guys with sulfuric acid.

The only solution seems to be to have a draconian xenophobic immigration policy like Canada.

Then you just need to make sure it's easier and less restrictive for the good guys to get acid. Acid on demand, I say. The more good guys there are with acid, the better off we all are.

Hold on, wait, we're not talking about psychedelics? Disregard everything.

I read UK papers ... may be the trend has changed, but I the beginning it wasn't Englishmen doing it

Jamaica had its share of acid attacks about 25 years ago. Scorned women would toss acid in the faces of the new female friend.

Therefore, the obvious solution is more acid. I can't wait until the acid lobby gets up and running. The National Acid Association, NAA, is going to be huge. The only real question is whether we should call the opposition the Antacid Society or the National Base Association (which would probably get sued by basketball).

It's all going to tone down when there is no more acid imported from the EU...

As Britannia is unable to domestically produce large amounts of acids...all resources will be allocated to acid the EU. .

No, if you criminalize acid, the cost of solar power will become completely unmanageable since regular battery maintenance will be taken out of the hands of the home owner.
