Acid attack in Southampton

[lloydie]

Just seen on facebook then BBC news. What an absolute scumbag. Cannot believe this sort of thing can happen in a busy part of Southampton on a Friday night, I sometimes go to Turtle Bay on an Friday too. Heart goes out to the poor woman, a truely life changing event for her which she did not deserve. I really hope the pathetic excuse for a 'man' is dealt with.

Times like this I'm in favour of an eye for an eye.

What kind of acid do these kinds of attackers use and how do they make/obtain it?

 

I mean you see some of these attacks and the effects can be so hideously brutal that you wonder where on earth anyone could get such a corrosive form of acid from. It can't just be toilet bleach, but it does seem very accessible considering the way its become a sadly, quite common form of extreme assault.
