Acid attack in Clapham

Has anyone else seen this horrible news story? Apparently 9 people have been injured, looks like the original targets were a woman and two children.

What is WRONG with people?!

Yes, seems they were travelling in the car together then seen arguing

Sounds like DV.

Please expand upon what have irked you with my comment?

I honestly can't be arsed. You wrote quite eloquently, so you're obviously an intelligent woman. Go figure it out yourself.

If this fucker had been kicked out of the country when his first asylum claim was rejected this would not have happened
But it's his yuman rites innit

Reminds me of the rape apologists who fought on an aeroplane to stop a rapist being flown out of the country. People are insane. Victims rights count for nothing.

Eek I got in trouble earlier for mentioning a separate acid attack, tbh it was one of the worst cases I had heard although all of these attacks are horrendous and it was a tricky one because it was a woman who did it to a man…

Louise366 · 01/02/2024 19:07

The gov still allowing them in the uk

Notaflippinclue · 01/02/2024 19:10

They've released a man today after 2 years in a secure hospital who kicked a female prison officer to death - so this beast will probably get 6 months. Time we had a referendum on a couple of things.

Where are the references to his asylum status coming from?

He’s a sex offender

Should have clarified, I saw the comments from other posters saying this but hadn’t seen the reports myself so didn’t want to be accused of jumping to conclusions.

LakeTiticaca · 01/02/2024 19:12

@GreekDogRescue the virtue signallers on that plane should have all been removed in handcuffs.
The airlines are quick enough to eject drunken passengers causing trouble.
All deportations should be carried out by the RAF with no general public on board

IClaudine · 01/02/2024 19:12

Christ, this case has brought the racists slithering out of their primordial ooze. Yuk.🤮

That poor woman and her children.

Why, are you feeling a bit sorry for him?

Yes women don't count. The tidal wave of violence by men against women and children worldwide is down to the toxic attitudes and cultures of male dominance and misogyny propagated by patriarchy. Many nations and cultures particularly in the Middle East regard women as property to be done with as the man and his family wish. It is not racist, phobic or anything else to state this - its sociological fact. Pity the poor women of Afghanistan (where this specimen came from apparently, before living in a migrant hostel in Newcastle after asylum was refused), Iran, Saudi Arabia and many other countries, where women are no more than chattels, treated brutally to keep them in line and obedient to patriarchal norms. Weep for them.

Even in this country, according to the Times today, there are over 700 acid attacks - nearly all by men against women - every year! Yet no one ever officially calls it what it is - a global epidemic of violence by men on women and children. Its so endemic that we don't really see it for what it is.

tempnameforadvice · 01/02/2024 19:18

@LakeTiticaca I'm genuinely hoping he was born here just to piss racists like you off.

What does it matter whether he's white or not? He's still a cunt, regardless of skin colour or background.

kirinm · 01/02/2024 19:18

@LakeTiticaca oh do fuck off. I can see lots of things being mentioned here that I can't find online. I realise some of it is from GB News now.

Apparently it was mentioned on the BBC news that he's a refugee - the police had released an image

Allowing what, acid attacks?

Not the place for your racism dear, take it elsewhere.

kirinm · 01/02/2024 19:22

I don't resent this being all over the news at all. It's fucking hideous and I hope he is caught (and in pain),

As I was Googling to try and find out where some of these comments were coming from, I stumbled across a lot of other attacks which haven't made the news. Is it because this guy is still on the run? How can a man with half his face missing not be noticed by now?!

Notaflippinclue · 01/02/2024 19:22

What does it matter if he's a refugee - Jesus we can't sort our home grown rapists and murderers never mind importing more of the feckers

Edited

No mention on the BBC website. Either it is not true or they are not mentioning it because they know what could happen.

LakeTiticaca · 01/02/2024 19:24

Seems to be a tad too many posters seemingly trying to defend this tosser imho

I don't know if he's capable of driving, but if so he could quite easily have got back to Newcastle by now - or maybe he also has people in London who'd shelter him

That's why I said upthread that I hope he has to get treatment for his face; I was hoping that a clinic/hospital/whatever would twig and call the police

Who? Who has tried to defend him? Let’s see the posts because I haven’t seen one person defend him.

pointythings · 01/02/2024 19:26

@LakeTiticaca nobody is defending this man. Some of us would just like to have reliable information from source (i.e.the police, not GB news) that this man was an asylum seeker/foreign/whatever before jumping into the racist swamp that this thread has become.

IClaudine · 01/02/2024 19:27

Not wanting to see this terrible case used to fuel race hate is not defending the perpetrator.
