It’s Josh Acid!
Meanwhile, the NYPD has 6 detectives harassing the topless women in Times Square who are doing nothing illegal. Memo to the mayor and NYPD: get your priorities in order and go after this psycho.
Can we know more about the person who was attacked? The reason I am asking is to know if we should be afraid of a maniac among us attacking random people or if this person actually had any reason to be attacked (personal vendetta or grudge, etc) The person above seems to be from Caribbean or south Indies (Guyana), and culturally they may punish women who bring shame to their family. You can see this acid attack in South Asian cultures too. I don’t even want to think about pimp/worker disputes because we don’t know about the woman. So anyway I really hope we get to know more and what I would fear is if this was a personal grudge over a parking space or garden or some other stupid nonsense that makes people go all nuts for no reason….
The victim had left a wellness seminar . It does not sound as if they knew each other but I could be wrong
It’s also a mating ritual in East Timor.
SERIOUSLY??? Should have been you admitted to Cornell… psych ward!!
This was in response to “Will Smith”—somehow got misplaced
Hope they catch him
Let’s hope they don’t botch this case like they did with the Rispoli murder.
Why thumbs down to this? Did they find the suspects or did they even have suspects on that murder? Or was it some kind of a quick cover up?
