It was like boiling water had been poured over me but like I was cut as well. I have never experienced anything like it, it was excruciating. We saw six other girls who had it in their eyes, faces and chest areas they were screaming and crying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In London, attacks like this jumped 74% from 261 in 2015 to 454 in 2016\u2014a huge spike from 166 in 2014. Across the country, such attacks increased 30% between 2012 and 2015, according to the <em>London Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Rotariu of\u00a0Leicester in central England was blinded in both eyes and suffered burns to 32% of his body when his lover, Katie Leong, threw sulfuric acid on him as\u00a0he slept following an argument last\u00a0July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have nightmares. &#8230;\u00a0I see it every day, every hour, like it was yesterday,\u201d Rotariu\u00a0said in his victim-impact statement in court.\u00a0\u201cMore than half of my life I\u2019m gonna have to live it like this. &#8230; Sometimes I wish I was dead and I didn\u2019t survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Firearms are incredibly difficult to obtain in England, especially in urban centers like London. As a result, people have turned to corrosive chemicals that can be bought from many stores without any form of registration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Corrosive substances)\u00a0are extremely easy to get hold of (in Britain). You can buy them\u00a0from hardware stores and don&#8217;t have to register why you&#8217;re purchasing it or what you want to use it for,\u201d Simon Harding, a professor\u00a0of\u00a0criminology\u00a0at London&#8217;s Middlesex University, told USA Today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you throw (acid) in someone\u2019s face it\u2019s going to affect their eyes and eyesight so you have a high chance of getting away with it. It\u2019s a very easy thing to do.\u00a0You can ride up to someone on a bike and throw it at them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Regulating firearms, it seems, hasn\u2019t solved the underlying problem of violence and crime in England.
