I think they should be in a mental hospital for life. Don't need insane folk blocking up the gaols.

[emmie]

not where they can get their hands on any fluids.
jail and for good, sorry this is a vile crime

[ToraToraTora]

yes, life it should be. Where do they get the stuff anyway? Surely you can't just buy it.

[emmie]

obviously they can, bizarrely its mostly men who get acid thrown over them. horrible.

//...over a third of attacks in London are in one Borough.//

Newham, eh, Divebuddy?

I was amused when I found this hymn to diversity:

"The borough is proud of having the largest proportion of non-White population in the country. More than 60% of its population is from a non-White ethnic group and this proportion is even higher amongst the young (LBN, 2005a). Newham is a good example what Vertovec (2005) terms a ‘super-diverse’ community. The cluster of wards on the boundary between Newham and Redbridge - Little Ilford, Manor Park, Loxford and Forest Gate - are the most diverse in the country, and the borough as a whole is also the second most diverse local authority (Piggott, 2004). There are more than 30 different ethnic communities in the borough, where more than 300 languages are spoken (Newham Language Shop, 2005)."

As the DBA at work used to say "What could possibly go wrong?".

I know several residents of Newham who aren't proud of it.

Acid attacks are really very bad. The acids damage the skin and sometimes leads to bone dissolved. It actually feels like leaving the victim for a slow death (most of the cases). These *** should be punished. Same part should be damaged with the acid of the attacker.
They should be jailed and Whatever they earn in the jail should be given to the survived victim or his/her family. He should realize what he has done.

// jail and for good //

I take it none of you actually read the link then. It is prosecuted as GBH, and so not many are even jailed.

[emmie]

then they should be, GBH for ruining someone's life, that just isn't fair.
