Student doused with acid during fight - Wants surgery to remove scars
Update-From Wiki
" In Jamaica, women throwing acid on other women in relation to fights over male partners is a common cause.
[51] In the UK, the majority of victims are men, and many of these attacks are related to gang violence."
"Another factor that puts victims at increased risk for an acid assault is their
socioeconomic status, as those living in
poverty are more likely to be attacked.
[32][17] As of 2013, the three nations with the most noted incidence of acid attacks – Bangladesh, India, and Cambodia – were ranked 75th, 101st, and 104th, respectively, out of 136 countries on the
Global Gender Gap Index, a scale that measures equality in opportunities between men and women in nations."
We've got plenty of guns here in the USA so they'll keep on blammin'. Imagine spilling or splashing acid on yourself accidentally?
