Manhunt underway in popular tourist destination after sulfuric acid attack critically burns pedestrian

Authorities in Hawaii are searching for a suspect who allegedly threw acid into a man’s face Friday night in Honolulu, leaving him in critical condition.

According to the Honolulu Police Department (HPD), officers responded to an assault complaint shortly after 10 p.m. in the Chinatown area.

Witnesses told officers a 30-year-old man was crossing the street when an unidentified suspect approached and threw an unknown liquid into his face.

The Honolulu Fire Department later identified the liquid as sulfuric acid, a highly corrosive chemical that causes severe burns to skin, eyes and internal tissue.

Emergency responders took the victim to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition, an HPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Due to the severity of his injuries, HPD detectives were unable to interview him to gather additional information.

"The preliminary investigation indicates that the victim did not know the suspect," the spokesperson said. "Right now, detectives are canvassing the scene to recover any surveillance video and locate any additional witnesses."

Subheadline: "The suspect is described as a 6-foot man wearing a blue shirt with a camera around his neck"

Buried in the article (literally the last line):

The suspect is described as a 6-foot man last seen wearing a blue fitted shirt and a do-rag with a camera around his neck and carrying a red bottle.

To be more politically correct, they should just say “A possible crime happened to a person and police say it was likely someone else who committed it. If you see someone, please call the police.”

“”Buried in the article (literally the last line):

So it was obviously a tall, British bird watcher.

Hmmm... I did a search for ‘what is a do-rag’. This is what came up....

Danced right around the skin color huh?

Have they identified the race of the CDC shooter yet?

Isn’t that Jane Goodall?
If so, what does she have to do with this?

What culture would normalize throwing acid in another’s face?

“ Acid throwing, also known as acid attacks, is most prevalent in South Asian cultures, particularly in Pakistan and India, based on available data. These countries report the highest number of incidents, with estimates ranging from 150-400 attacks annually in Pakistan and 228-1,000 in India, though underreporting is likely. The practice is deeply tied to cultural and social factors, including gender-based violence, where women are disproportionately targeted (around 80% of victims globally), often due to motives like rejection of marriage proposals, dowry disputes, or domestic violence. In Pakistan, for instance, acid attacks are linked to patriarchal norms, with cases often stemming from personal conflicts like refused marriage proposals or perceived dishonor.” - Grok

There’s some weird shit going on in Hawaii (not the first acid attack). The race of the victim is not published (oddly, so the story goes).

See #4.

What does it matter if some people are victimized by sulphuric acid attacks; the amazing benefits of immigration and multiculturalism so far overshadows those tiny inconveniences.

Haven’t we all heard; when people really get to know each other there can only be friendship and peace. That is why there is no divorce.

Good question. Jane Goodall isn’t even wearing a do-rag so she doesn’t fit the description.

Today, it appears the Hawaii subculture (not the atypical elsewhere), now stolen for what may genuinely be a ‘hate crime’ (their definition, if they’ll admit it).

Search for ‘Hawaii acid attack’ (not the first, and no apparent linkage between them).

"Detectives have not determined a motive, and it is unclear whether the attack qualifies as a hate crime."

Everything depends on the skin color of the attacker.

It’s a subtle form of racism that makes this site look bad.

News sites are wrong by refusing to identify a black suspect as black. And folks who connect blacks to racial insults are just as wrong.
