Good thing they banned those guns, it seems to have detered people from killing each other very effectively.

I think that they should advocate a "no ARMS" (not firearms, those things that hold your hands) policy in the U.K. THEN I'd like to see `em kill eachother!  Phoquin' moron sheeple. |

No shit....geez....that's quite a response to a "private" matter gone bad. "Hmmm...ok...he really, REALLY pissed me off. Lets see.....ok...yeah, I'll catch him off guard outside, and then hit him in the head repeatedly with an axe. Over and over and over...until his head looks like the inside of a calzone. Perfect...now where's that axe again?" |

Shit.... .....nobody gets to carry around there, so I'm not shocked to hear that nobody jumped into an axe fight with bare fists. I guess they could have run over the axe wielder. |

I personally would have grabbed my tire iron, hammer, shovel, pick ax <<(construction guys and all) I wouldn't have stood there and said "please stop". hell it sounds like it was right in the street, might have even kissed him with the door of my car at a good clip. again, they're fucking worthless.

My...that is a tragic shame...really!
It really is a good thing that guns are banned in Britain. People might get shot...and die even! Money...? A womanz...? Gay spat...? Once again, circumstances prove that the last person to arrive on the scene is the cop. |

Well, if memory serves, they -have- banned axes. At least, just carrying one down the street for no particular reason. Categorised as an offensive weapon. It's usually up to the common sense of the constable on the scene. If you work for a gardening firm, for example, and you have a client across the street, you should be OK.
From the article, it seems that the event happened so quickly, there wasn't much time for anyone to do anything anyway. NTM |

some of us still do have firearms.....even though tightly controled. (avoid registration you guys it'll bring restrictions inevitably)
Had I been passing on the way to the range with my rifle in the car, yes I'd have "smoked him" otherwiswe I'd rather not tackle a possibly drug crazed lunatic with a hatchet while I was unarmed. It's also a shame pepper/cs spray is illegal for civilian protection here. The outcome may have been different. Be real you guys. Taffy awaits flaming.....

Must be time for me to buy a nice axe before they become illegal.
And a nice _boat_ Heck if that'd happened anywhere near me tonight, I would be carrying a katana (Monday = Iaido), be tempted not to take a shot at a guy fighting with an axe, I have no idea whether my sword would take the abuse of trying to block it. Other swords yes, Axes...? /PHil |

No flaming here. I really feel for you guys, with the restrictions you're living under. What about some grassroots political activism to turn things around? It's been said that in a democracy people get the government they deserve. If enough of you blokes stood up and said, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it any more!" you could start swinging that behemoth socialized .gov around. Of course, you have all the benefit receiving sheeple to contend with... |

"the man" don't like political activists who own guns here...period
they'd just take the guns we have left from us not all of us are prepared to die for our gun rights. neither should we be expected to. I just enjoy going down to the range to shoot and I don't see what harm I am doing anyone else. Beside it's none of their buisness |

Can't happen, all guns are registered and licenced. If you start campaigning they just declare you an 'unfit person' to possess a firearm and take it off you. …sucks…  The day when I say "fuck it, I've had enough" and move back to Ireland draws ever closer. I can own a handgun there, a .40 S&W pistol would be nice… ANdy |

How effective is a cricket bat? Could you take out someone with a sticky wicket? Might be the last resort. They won't ban cricket, will they? Heck, they'll ban fox hunting before they ban cricket. Won't they?

Murderer didn't have access to firearms due to gun ban. SO he used an axe.
Not the method, the mind... One mind, any weapon. |

English law is a joke when it comes to protecting it's own population. I don't see how the citizens [subjects] take that kind of crap from their Government. Hell, the Constables who responded probably were not even armed. Did an armed response unit even make the scene?

Does anyone know if it was an AX or perhaps just a hatchet?
I just have this mental picture of a guy swinging a long ax Paul Bunyon style, but I figure it was more like a hatchet/tomahawk in size. |

Latest update…
Man beaten to death with axe 14 March 2005 A witness to the bloody aftermath of a brutal street attack told how he saw an axe-wielding killer calmly give himself up to armed police. Nick Blackford, 20, a student, was awoken this morning by the sounds of screaming in Eton Avenue, Swiss Cottage, north London. He described how the head of the victim, a man in his 60s, was turned to "mush" by the ferocity of the assault. Mr Blackford said he saw the attacker, who police said was in his 30s, being arrested. Two men from a nearby building site were also at the scene carrying what appeared to be iron bars in attempt to stop the axe man but were too late, he said. "The police came out and arrested him at gunpoint. He had blood on his hands. He dropped the axe on the floor," Mr Blackford said. "There was a dustbin lid on the floor. I think either he was using it or more likely the victim was using it to protect himself. The victim was on the floor. I saw a guy lying down with a huge flat red mushy mess instead of a head, just across the road. "I didn't notice it at first because it was there on the street, not in a book or a film. I was so taken aback that I had to second take. It is horrific. You never want to have to see that situation. It shocked me quite a lot." Police said the victim has suffered "severe head injuries" but sources said he had not been completely beheaded. A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene and was today in custody at Holborn police station. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "A post-mortem will be held in due course. The victim has yet to be formally identified." Eton Avenue was sealed off while detectives carried out a forensic examination of the scene. Police said a murder inquiry had now been launched and an incident room opened. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/PA_NEWPOLICEAxeMon17AxeattackNi?source=&ct=5 |
