[NYC] Straphanger who had face destroyed in random acid attack slams city’s soft on crime policies, says she can’t leave her home: ‘Why me’

She is the scarred face of spiraling subway crime.

Sixteen procedures and more than a year after a deranged stranger threw sulfuric acid in her face in a Brooklyn train station...

The random act of transit violence forever changed her life — and now, with subway crime up nearly 20% so far this year, she’s speaking out about how more cops and mental health resources are needed to restore safety and sanity to the rails.

An unhinged woman, later identified as Rodlin Gravesande, suddenly and without saying a word, splashed sulfuric acid in her face...

“I felt the pain immediately – it felt like my face was on fire,” she recalled....

Gravesande — who sources said was previously busted in 2014 in Brownsville for a domestic assault against her child’s father — was arrested about a month after the attack in Atlanta, Ga., and has been held behind bars on Rikers Island on $250,000 bail ever since. She pleaded not guilty.

“If there’s literal evidence of a person committing a crime that’s heinous, I don’t feel like they should be out of jail — they’ll just get out and do it again, just like what’s going on right now,” she added, ripping politicians who enable criminals and soft-on-crime bail reform laws which perpetuate the cycle of violence.

“They know that [the subway] is dangerous, and that’s what we need police for, to keep us safe.”

And more cops in every train station during the time when crime was prevalent is also critical, she continued.

But she remains undaunted.

“Finally getting my confidence back after surviving an acid attack,” she captioned a Feb. 7 video, which shows a series of pictures and videos of her face since the frightening incident.

Since the commie city council made cops liable for lawsuits, how about they do they same for scumbag DAs and Judges who refuse to punish criminals?

looks like the surgeon did a pretty damned good job fixing her up, at least she doesn’t have to endure any mean tweets from an Orange Bad Man in the White House...

I thought random acid attacks were something that Third Worlders did in England.

Seems NYC has been culturally enriched from across the pond.

The enrichment never ceases.

Other articles about the wonderful Rodlin indicate she is a woman of color from Fulton Co, Georgia. So...third world but not from across the pond.

I believe if victims like her start attacking the Soros bought DAs and AGs who turned perps like the who attacked her loose then they will start enforcing the law or quit.

She should have left her city. I left mine before it got too dangerous. You have to stay ahead of trouble, not slowly boil in trouble.

For a state full of maggots stealing money from the NRA, she needs to go to court and steal a few pallets of Benjamins from the State of New Yawk.

I’ve seen her picture. She looks even nicer than her name.

She may be “from” Georgia the same way Obama was “from” Hawaii.

Let the victim choose five complicit (in the broadest sense) officials to be dipped in vats of sulfuric acid for five minutes.

This &%%§ would stop right dead in a few weeks.
