It's a common thing in prison. I still have a scar on my leg from when a Melanic threw hot water and baby oil at me during a riot and mostly [thank God] missed.
I'd rather get shot, several times, than scalded or worse by boiling water or oil. The initial pain looks pretty unbearable, and infections that set in later are obscene. My father worked for awhile (before I have memory) in the pediatric burn center of Cincinnati General Hospital in the late 70's. He was part of a research group working to reduce scaring. Turns out application of sterile maggots works even better, with less suffering that what his group was using. He didn't last very long in that job. Like some war vets, he never would talk about that job. -Just a Chemist
During the mid-late 70s I worked ER/Receiving. There was a top-rated Burn Unit at the hospital, and I got to know the staff pretty well. As I recall, the treatment regimen included application of Silvadene, debridement, and porcine grafts.
I've been burned before. It's not fun. My late brother threw a container of burning gasoline on me while we were fighting. I had spots on my chest and one huge ass blister the size of a softball on the right side of my stomach.
When guns are outlawed.... only criminals will have.... wait, what?
ReplyDeleteSome of cases I’ve seen, seems like a clear case of trying to disinfect some that truly need it.

ReplyDeletePouring hot grits is a popular punishment in the deep south. It’s usually dumped right in the lap of a guy that is unfaithful to his lady.
ReplyDeleteShe can't be all that bad. After all she gave him a verbal warning

Gotta buy me an AR-17 Assault Kettle before they ban them.

I’m surprised that assault pressure cookers have not already been banned. Or that the Feds have not required a special tax stamp to own one.
DeleteWhy not just ban water?
ReplyDeleteThat's why you arrest them after the 19th time!

ReplyDeleteThe NYC poop tosser got it in jail the other day, right in the face. That's gonna leave a mark.
