Acid attack in Clapham

[PawsAndReflection]

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?!

They are getting desperate now. They’ve offered a 20k reward. They have no idea where he could be.

I have had nightmares about this monster since this came out. Thinking that someone is helping him is outrageous. It is obvious someone has helped him. I live closed by one of the locations mentioned on the news. I have stopped answering the door. The crime is terrifying and anybody hiding him has the same behaviour tendency. I really hope we have news of his capture soon. Little consolation as we are number 1 country now for acid attacks. I must said this has really shaken me. It seems we are protecting that woman by giving her shelter here with her kids. She is still going out with violent men when getting here. May be she was desperate and lonely. Who knows? So horrible.

People are probably helping him

What a terrible system

It won’t be hard to find people to help him. Acid attacks on women are very common in certain cultures. “If I can’t have her I’ll make sure nobody wants her” men come over here to live in this country it doesn’t mean their mindset changes. There are a lot of men who will agree with his actions.

the news is she was placed in a hotel after fleeing him, I fear a bigger story is coming. A failed injunction etc.

I think so too, there is no shortage of men who believe that women who don't defer to them deserve corporal punishment😔

Police have confirmed the substance that was used. It was apparently a variation of caustic soda

And that is what is in some drain cleaners and is, unfortunately, easily available.

This is horrendous

We’re not really thinking through stuff, and it ends up with this

I am hoping they can’t find him because he’s dead. The idea that somebody is harbouring him somewhere is too depressing to think about.

Well they shouldn't be.

Caustic soda shouldn't put into our waste water network, stop using your sink as a waste disposal unit and get a hair trap fitted to shower/bath.

Large amounts of caustic soda, either dry or pre mix concentrate can be obtained for a few pounds.

I see battery acid can only be sold to a licenced business.

@YesSirMam "the news is she was placed in a hotel after fleeing him, I fear a bigger story is coming. A failed injunction etc."

Not a new scenario, I'm afraid.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned as I haven’t RTFT, but someone who has that degree of burn injury & doesn’t receive medical treatment, what happens to them/the injury? Does it turn septic? Am thinking he’s going to come to light soon enough either through police capture, or as a very unwell person/corpse. You can’t stay on the run indefinitely with that kind of injury.

Within a few days it could become infected & turn into Sepsis or toxic shock. He will be in desperate need of medical attention now. It doesn’t look just like a skin burn it looks as though it’s his eye too. Chances are he needs that eye removing now to save his life. He has two choices hand himself in & get the medical attention he needs or die from infection.

Thank you. That’s what I was thinking. And whoever is sheltering him will be witnessing a very unpleasant death.

I assume he was trafficked here initially, there could be a whole network used to being underground and hidden

I thought he was a Christian now.

This is Labours plan, the current approach isn't working but the Tories have quite a toxic relationship with the EU.

Deal with the problem further back the line, the EU don't want their Northern borders as a holding area for migrants.

No one is solving this without a deterrent

Labour don’t have a plan at all

If there’s no deterrent people will keep arriving

Well Labour do, you just don't agree with it. Starmer has repeatedly said closer co op with EU is the way fwd and has explained the hows and whys.

Now you can argue it is a flawed plan but it is a plan.

What plan have the Tories? we seen migration both legal and irregular go through the roof & the ludicrous situation of emptying one hotel only to move migrants into another... just make it look like they are dealing with a problem.

What sort of thinking is that? mad house thinking.

On deterrent, what one do we have at present and do you think sending, at best 5% of all migrants to Rwanda will work?

Bear in mind that in its 12 to 18month initial phase, the numbers are less than 1000.

1200 arrived in January alone atm moment the only deterrent is the weather.

Only Aus have managed it

If people want trafficking to stop that’s how you do it.

Bollocks about closer ties or ‘smashing the gangs’ or whatever farce is a nothing.

This will go round and round for an eternity and more acid attacks and people gaming the system including criminals

Eventually the vote will be for resolving it. Maybe…

God what a wait though., tg for Aus

The Greek, Spanish, Italian, French and British navies should be stopping them in the Mediterranean Sea and turn them back before they get to Europe
