[shockedcanadian]

So many in Europe complain that America is too violent and full of guns. Look at the crimes stats people, England is off the charts, and now a team of people do this to a kid? Don't be fooled by PR campaigns, do your own research on the issues. People are stabbed and murder in England along with many other crimes at an alarming rate.

How cowardly and screwed up is this?

Boy, 3, seriously hurt in acid attack at store in England, police say

A 3-year-old boy was seriously injured in a suspected acid attack at a busy store in England on Saturday that authorities believe was deliberate.

West Merica Police said in a news release the incident took place around 2:15 p.m. at Home Bargains, a discount retail store in Worcester, England.

"At this time we are treating this as a deliberate attack on a 3-year-old boy," West Merica Police Chief Superintendent Mark Travis said in a statement. "The incident will rightly shock the local community and I would like to reassure local people that we are carrying out a thorough investigation to identify those responsible."

Police said the boy was treated at the hospital for serious burns to his arms and face, and was later released. Authorities said the long-term medical implications for the child are unknown, but they hope he will not suffer life-changing injuries.

"It's an awful incident and we're really, really concerned about this," Travis told Sky News.

^^^ If you look at what has happened in the U.S. just this past week alone, you will see that guns are not needed. All that you need are swimming pools, vehicles with hot enough interiors, and adults who have nothing going on up north and that is if they even possess a brain in the first place.

God bless you always!!!

To throw acid to a 3 year old toddler as he sat in his pram... is horrible beyond words

When you think these savages can not get any worse.....you are wrong, they can and they do.

No punishment for these monsters is too much.

Very much the brutal truth. Gun control is in reality just another "sit on the eggs" hot button issue. Be it the sword or gun, all the empires of history have been founded and forged at their tip or muzzle. Philosophical declarations are great civilizational foundations; the blade or bullet makes them happen--every time. What so few on the Left will acknowledge, at least publicly outside of party ideology, is might does indeed make right--universally. The greatest stride against might makes right in human history: nuclear weapons.

What a horrifying tragedy for the child and family. The adequate means to answer violence with greater precision violence ought never be denied the individual by society. Until the Minority Report leaps off the pages of pulp fiction and into our reality, the right to own and bear arms should be universal.
