Milwaukee Man Gets Doused with Acid
Milwaukee, Wis. – Things got a little messy during a parking dispute on Sunday.
The man identified as Mahud Villalaz had been in South Milwaukee when he had been approached by a man about a parking situation and then returned shortly after that.
The man had began to make comments about Mahud’s ethnicity saying, “You come here and invade my country. You don’t respect my laws.”
Shortly after that, the man pulled out an aluminum container and doused Mahud’s face and upper torso with battery acid. Mahud described it as an ‘intense, searing pain’ that also burned through two layers of his jacket.
Officials of Milwaukee are considering this a hate crime and community leaders are saying that there is zero tolerance for these kinds of actions.
Mahud is an American-born citizen with a Latino background. Mahud is blaming the political climate for these circumstances.
