East London hit by ACID ATTACK spree: Three rushed to hospital in morning horror

THREE men have been rushed to hospital after a suspected acid attack in East London this morning.

Police were called to Kingsland High Street in Dalston just after 5am this morning after the men sustained injuries.

The victims, aged 17, 22 and 27 were hit with a “noxious substance” according to police.

No arrests have been made yet in connection with the incident.

There has been an alarming rise in the number of acid attacks taking place in the UK in recent years, with London seeing a particular alarming spike.

The UK has one of the highest rates of acid attacks per capita in the world, according to Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI).

ASTI's figures reveal the number of recorded attacks have more than doubled from 2012, with 228 recorded attacks, to the 601 crimes committed in 2016.

Last year saw more than 400 incidents reported in the six months to April 2017 alone.

22-year-old Sophie Hall was left with burns to her face, back, shoulder and arm last year when Arthur Collins threw acid at clubbers a year ago at a Dalston nightclub.

The estate agent was celebrating a friend’s birthday when Collins launched his attack, injuring 22 people at Mangle nightclub.

No word yet from David Hogg on whether we need acid control.

Cuz guns are lethal weapons, right?

When acid is outlawed, only outlaws will have acid.

Oh wait... they already do.

He's too busy taking it up the pooper from his boyfriend du jour.

Here's a picture of Collins. So as you can see, not every acid attack is caused by a third-world migrant (although many are).

**********************************************************************
Ahh, WTF would this news article about the current attack bring up a case FROM LAST YEAR and identify the “non third-world migrant” perp of that attack. But in TODAY’S attack they don’t mention whether the perp(s) are “non third-world migrant(s)” or “third-world migrant(s)”?

I’m not surprised that these latest acid attackers haven’t been identified. We all know that “migrants” are usually shielded from identification.

What does surprise me is that some of these acid attacks were done by native Britons. Arthur Collins is not the only one.

The leaders of the Gop and the dems are complicate. The people of Britian are at war but not allowed to fight back. They should go throughout their nation and kill every Muslim. If they are responsible.

Arthur Collins may be a native Briton, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t converted to islam.

The Democrats will claim this is more reason to ban firearms.
