I gotta say, the photo brings home how horrifying it is to be taken out by someone *throwing*acid*in*your*face. Is this how people settle scores now? What happened to smacking your adversary with your satin glove? Even bludgeoning the beanie with a baseball bat's better than friggin' acid-in-the-face. Sometimes we need insensitivity to come to terms with something so horrific to imagine.

You know sometimes I wonder how people can live with themselves..I don't know what is worse..getting shot in the face or acid.. People are scum.

I think that's an offensive photo considering what a tragedy this is for the man and his family. Jen please reel this Garth person in.

First, a man dies a horrifying and painful death and you jokingly mention the phantom of the Opeera? Second, there was only one movie version of the Gaston Leroux book that inlcudes an acid attack. The original sikent movie as well as the Broadway Musical all have Erik the Phantom born difigured.
