[zuron7]

That's the most weird way to attack iv'e ever heard of in my life.

Imagine next it's going to be bird droppings.

Some people didn't even know what was going on. One person was reported to have said,

"Is it me or did it just get really hot all of a sudden... OH SHIT!!!"

The things criminals do to create fear in the hearts of many.

Dropping acid - you're doing it wrong.

 

[Elritha]

I hope they catch whoever is responsible. Dropping acid like that sounds cowardly.

 

[Veristical Blaze]

I think it's a real burn in the ass...

Criminals these days. Always innovating.

Holy mushrooms

Acid as in a Ph scale less than 7? wow that's pretty cowardly to just throw botttles of corrosive fluids around
in crowded areas and then run away. I guess those tourists won't ever be coming back to China again

 

[blackdragonbaham]

holy shit, just saw it in the news, and once again i ask myself why people do such awful things, to suggerate power? fear? to satisfy their megalomanic feelings? wtf

 

[Elritha]

I just heard they arrested a man who is suspected of causing the attack. Hopefully that is the end of it.

 

[Uncle FEFL]

Wow....that's really messed up.

it is strange actually cuz in the previous times (of tyrant rulers) the prisoners used to be put in a prison (a very tight one such tht the ppl do not fit properly) with no roof (hence scorching sun) and hot ash was thrown over them until they died
kinda seems like this twisted and evil thinking is coming back
