The manhunt continues this morning in London for a male attacker who threw a suspected “corrosive substance” on a woman and her two children in a car following a collision Wednesday evening in the Clapham neighborhood.
A total of nine people were taken to the hospital in the acid attack.

Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, and thousands like him, should NEVER have been welcomed into our country.
They should have been immediately deported.
Instead we now have swarms of these young males placed into communities all over the country.
A disgusting betrayal. pic.twitter.com/OfC6qSvZCM
