July 21, 2018  ATTACKING A TODDLER IN WORCESTER Front Page (conservative)  Britons profess “shock” at a now-daily phenomenon. July 24, 2018  Bruce Bawer On Saturday afternoon, a three-year-old boy was sitting in a stroller at a Home Bargains store in Worcester, England, when some kind of corrosive liquid ... “thrown or sprayed” at him, causing serious burns on his face and arms. ...  rumors were rife that the assailants were white EDL members, but this seemed unlikely:....
Not until late Monday evening did the Mail fill in the important blanks. The mother of the acid victim is “Middle Eastern” and “was fleeing a family dispute and living in a safe house at the time of the attack and was the intended target.” In addition to the three-year-old victim, she had two other children with whom she's been living for the past eight months after “difficulties within her family.” According to a police source, “the parties she was in a dispute with found out where she had moved to and that’s how this horrendous incident has happened.” Also, the caustic substance “was targeted at her. The child just happened to get in the way.” In other words, same old same old.  Shock? How could anybody in the UK be shocked by this? As the Sun notes, there were no fewer than 601 recorded acid attacks in Britain last year 207  (although there is reason to believe that the actual number is considerable higher).
