#Acid Attack

[one-time-i-dreamt]

Walter White from Breaking Bad dumped concentrated acid on my left hand because he and I were having a staring contest for the last canned sardines in the supermarket (and I’ve won).

On April 5, 1956, the labor columnist of the Daily Mirror, Victor Riesel, and his secretary left Lindy's restaurant at 3:00 in the morning. As they walked to Riesel's car, parked in front of the nearby Mark Hellinger Theater, a small-time hood named Abraham Telvi materialized out of the shadows and threw a vial of sulphuric acid in Riesel's face. It got him straight in the eyes.

Riesel was a hard-hitting foe of organized crime, Communists, and toughs in labor unions (his father had been crippled for life by ILGWU goons), and his column appeared in 193 newspapers. In 1956 he was working closely with the New York Attorney General in an ambitious assault on the city`s rackets.

His blinding created an uproar. "It is a return of the Al Capone era" thundered the Mirror. "It is the simple, bald determination on the part of the underworld to have its own way and maintain its fabulously profitable rackets by terror and death, and in defiance of the law." It concluded, "The scum who plotted this cruel attack may rob a man of his eyes but not of his vision."

It was eventually determined that New Jersey racketeer Johnny Dio, a prime target of Riesel and the Attorney General, had hired Telvi to make the attack. He was never prosecuted, but in July, Telvi was found shot dead on Mulberry St. He had been paid a few hundred dollars for the acid attack but had later decided it was worth $50,000.

Riesel's column continued to be written by his staff until he was able to return to work. He continued to report on labor for decades.

A most unusual plant

(Picture from The Official Witcher Wiki)

“Geralt, do you hear this?”

“A cow. You have heard cows moo before, haven’t you, Jaskier?” Geralt asks.

“I know it’s a cow. But it sounds scared. It might need help!”

“And how is that our problem? Since when do I look like a farmer to you?”

“Geralt, the poor animal might be in mortal danger! We cannot just ride past it and leave it to a most horrible fate. All kinds of monsters are lurking in the nearby swamps, you said so yourself just yesterday!”

“Hm. I might have exaggerated a bit,” Geralt admits. “Just to make sure you stay on the track and don’t run off flower picking or looking for berries. Remember the hirikka you thought was so cute? During the dragon hunt?”

“Before you left me alone on top of that mountain, you mean?” Jaskier asks, although he, of course, knows exactly what Geralt is talking about. “And the hirikka was cute - until Sir Eyck cut its head off, poor thing. Now, what about the cow? Are you going to rescue it, Witcher, or do I have to do it all by myself?”

Summary: Jaskier saves a cow! With a little help from Geralt 😉 (Set during the events of Baptism of Fire, more exactly after the Fish Soup and before the Battle on the Bridge. You don't need to have read the books though to enjoy the story.)

"HURLS ACID ON LANDLADY GIRL THEN ENDS OWN LIFE," Toronto Star. May 16, 1934. Page 1. --- Ordered to Vacate Her Room, Dorothy Dryland Drinks Poison ---- DIES IN HOSPITAL --- After allegedly throwing half a bottle of poisonous disinfectant over her landlady. Miss Dorothy Dryland, rooming at 261 Boston Ave., ran back to her own room, according to Pape Ave. police, and drank the remaining contents of the bottle. She was rushed to the Toronto General hospital and died half an hour later.

According to police, Miss Dryland had been ordered to vacate her room by her landlady, Mrs. Thomas Croft, last night after some heated words. To-day, police say. Miss Dryland walked into Mrs. Croft's bedroom and, walking up to her bedside, threw half the contents of the bottle in her face, then ran back to her own room and locked the door. Mr. Croft stopped to attend to his wife, who was practically blinded.

When police arrived in answer to a summons from Mr. Croft, they found Miss Dryland unconscious on the bed, badly burned about the face and neck. Both she and Mrs. Croft were taken to the hospital.

Ordeal of Acid Attack Victims– The Forgotten Agony

Acid attack- a term many of us have heard in the news or from our peers, but has it been given enough voice to reach our hearts? The term got a lot of attention when the director, Ms. Meghna Gulzar released a film titled “Chhapaak” on 20th January 2020, inspired by the life of LaxmiAgarwal, an acid attack survivor, who campaigned for the rights of acid attack victims and gained recognition after she filed a petition in the Supreme Court regarding the regulation of sale of acid (theprint.in,2020)….READ MORE

Sometimes we go a long way for food…

Twenty minute train ride to eat beef noodle soup in Kuala Lumpur. Folks and I had a good lunch. Mom has been 2 1/2 hours shopping at Sentral Mall at the time of writing. Pick her up from the LRT later.

My writer’s outlining app, CHR is nearly done. I’m testing if the main and auxiliary columns match up nice based on a simpler algorithm.

Worked out briefly this morning and will run before dinner. So much of the world is being destroyed by rampant Asian Liew witchcraft.

Yesterday in the news, local celebrity footballer splashed with acid at a mall. The guy who gave the Malaysian team’s no.1 fan a new motorcycle. He’d sold his bike to travel to Qatar for the tournament. I hope the attackers were not non-bumi as then there will be trouble!
