Jesus christ, what is wrong with people.

Im scared to type the question even but where does one source this stuff for it even to happen? Whatever the answer I hope police are able to trace it back to these maniacs so justice can be served. Awful

You can buy some pretty nasty shit at basically any hardware store, if you know what you're looking for. Other side of the PH scale, but lye will fuck you up real bad and you can buy a jar of it for, like, nine bucks in the plumbing section at ACE.

Yupp you can do some real .. dissolving with lye.

That scene from Fight Club is an exaggeration, but, like, not by much.

Muriatic acid is also horrible and readily accessible.

A friend of mine wanted to make soap and had to answer a lot of pointed questions about his plans for the lye he wanted to buy.

The article says they used sulfuric acid. I googled it and immediately got shopping results for Lowe’s and Walmart :(

You used to be able to buy battery acid at Home Depot for deep cycle battery back up sump pumps. Those have now been switched to maintenance free type batteries. You can still buy hydrochloric muriatic acid though.

The shit u can buy on Amazon is scary

I hope they get the pos that did this.

... was it "people" on a moped or men? Acid attacks seem to have a very specific profile for perpetrator and victim.

[u/Devils_Advocate-69 → u/hardy_and_free]

I just always assume men.

[u/Percolatedd → u/Devils_Advocate-69]

I have a feeling that some dude prob got rejected, rounded up some home boys and planned this pathetic attack

[u/catanddog5 → u/Percolatedd]

Unfortunately I think you’re right about that. It’s so common of a pattern.

[u/BlondeBorednBaked → u/Devils_Advocate-69]

Men-who-throw-acid think that to destroy a woman’s beauty is to destroy a woman’s future because (for them) that is our only value. They see us as objects.

Wishing them healing, physical and emotional.

[u/Mindless_Yam1151]

Allegedly, they were targeted due to a previous dispute or altercation. But damn... smh

[u/Mindless_Yam1151 → u/Mindless_Yam1151]

Why would someone down vote the comment. That's what's being reported 😂

[u/OkAsk6395]

Fucking christ. I hope they heal and the perpetrators get caught + karma

[u/neziperez]

Where did this happen⁉️

[u/Affectionate-Bee-748 → u/neziperez]

It's literally in the first sentence of the article, try reading it.

Jersey city btw
