This would have been worldwide news had a caucasian done this to a negro.
"Storro described her attacker as a black woman in her late 20s wearing khaki pants and her hair in a ponytail."

She could hear her skin burning.
Bethany Storro was celebrating her new job when a stranger approached her and asked, "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?"
The attacker tossed a cup full of acid in Storro�s face. Her skin immediately began to sizzle.
The 28-year-old from Vancouver, Wash. spoke publicly for the first time since the vicious attack earlier this week in her hometown.
"It was the most painful thing ever," she said from the hospital Thursday. "My heart stopped. It ripped through my clothing the instant it touched my shirt; I could feel it burning through my second layer of skin."
Just prior to the attack, Storro was on cloud nine over her new job. As a treat, she bought herself a new pair of sunglasses.
The present turned out to be a lifesaver, protecting her from almost certain blindness if the acid had hit her eyes.
Storro described her attacker as a black woman in her late 20s wearing khaki pants and her hair in a ponytail.
"I have never, ever seen this girl in my entire life," Storro said. "When I first saw her, she had this weirdness about her - like jealousy, rage."
The surgeon who operated on Storro said the liquid was as strong as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.
As police look for her attacker, Storro has one just one question: "Why?"
Did my attacker wake up in the morning and say I'm going to "carry some acid in a cup and throw it on the first person I see?" Storro asked.
Despite the severe damage to her face, Storro, who lost most of her hearing after two bouts of spinal meningitis as a child, was happy she could still see.
"I�m just so glad it�s a miracle."

it's a miracle to get acid thrown on your face?
Wouldn't be more of a miracle if she dodged it on reaction or if the event never happened at all?
I totally get how euphoric she was getting a job, that happens once a blue moon in Canada.  |

Umm no, she said it is a miracle to be able to see, which after having acid thrown in your face could be highly unlikely. A bigger miracle will be if the other lady gets more acid, trips, splashes it all over her own face, is blinded, and isn't found so that the acid can penetrate more deeply before she is slowly chewed away by rats with a rapidly consuming form of the plague. |

you missed my point completely. I am saying that people's standards of 'miracles' are really low.
Acid gets thrown in your face and you don't go blind because you coincidentally were wearing sunglasses. That's not a miracle.
A miracle is something like the suspension of the laws of physics. If the acid thrown in girl's direction was suspended in mid-air for 20 minutes, that would be a miracle. People really need to grow up and stop calling things what they are instead of exaggerating.

Mesa woman burned after acid thrown in face
MESA, Ariz. � Police are searching for a suspect who threw acid on the face of an Arizona woman who had arrived home and was getting out of her car.
Mesa police said Friday that the 41-year-old victim was being treated for second-degree burns to her face and chest area after the attack Thursday.
Police say the act does not appear to be random. They are following up on leads to find the female suspect, between 30 and 40 years old.
A similar attack that was random occurred Monday in Vancouver, Wash., where a woman threw a cup of acid on the face of 28-year-old Bethany Storro as she was getting something from her car before heading into a Starbucks. The suspect, who Storro said told her "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?" before she attacked her, still has not been found. |

In Hong Kong it has been a problem too.
I sure hope this doesn't become a race thing. |

Happens with some frequency in a certain part of the world, and I agree that I hope this vile behavior doesn't catch on elsewhere. |

It doesn't get much more cowardly than this. Seems the two female perpetrators mentioned on this thread have yet to be apprehended.
Hopefully they are found and taken off of the streets for a long time. I don't care if they have mental problems (which I'm sure they do). This stuff cannot be allowed to happen. |

This incident is a tragedy, but I think in its own sense so is the idea that someone would post it to largely make a racial point. |
