"Acid thrown in someone's face is pretty unique," said firefighter Darren Marino"
Not over on the other side of the world.
Not uncommon among muslims.
If I had to make a bet i would say it probably wasnt acid but Lye. Its a pretty common thing in the ghetto where I used to work in DC to keep a pot of Lye hot on the stove for intruders. One lady there always had her bucket of Lye and a baseball bat whith a nail in it for protection.
Hot Lye is pretty nasty stuff.
