Perhaps their English not good. Perhaps they mean to say...

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (April 17) - An Albany woman was accused of crashing a Sudanese wedding party early Sunday and splashing people with a glass bottle full of acid, injuring six people, authorities said.
Acid thrown in someone's face is pretty unique," said firefighter Darren Marino. "You gotta be pretty twisted. It was pretty nasty."
Marino said the firefighters thought they were answering a call for a hot-water burn and didn't realize they were dealing with acid until they reached the hospital and their fingers started burning.
Police were investigating why the woman, who was among injured, attacked the group.
Rihab Hagelkhider, 39, allegedly targeted Hayfa Hussein, 29, who suffered burns on her face and body, police said.
Hagelkhider was charged with assault and reckless endangerment.
Police have not yet identified the acid.
The party of Sudanese immigrants and others was held at the Friendship House, which is affiliated with the Friendship Baptist Church.
Marino said there was a language barrier at first. "I jumped out of the rig and I didn't understand anything. But I understand pain."
All victims were treated at local hospitals and released.

lol
LOL - that's great!
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.
I've got a story about a wedding and acid, but that's a whole other story.....
I like the TV version - never could make it through the stories!
The ones with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce? Or more recent versions?
Oh those crazy Sudanese!
The "Mystery!" shows, with Jeremy Bruce as Holmes. We saw an episode with a new Holmes recently, but he wasn't quite it.
How about the Wedding Crystal story?
I wonder if Hayfa is/was the bride...And when they refer to them as 'immigrants', what do they mean?
Won't America be a beautiful and wonderfully diverse place when we get more people from this culture to move here?

ah geez, Max. corny, corny, corny
What a cruel way to hurt someone. In SE Asia (Bangladesh. Pakistan, India) this is often used against women. Savages. I hope the perp is severly punished.
