Woman stamped on in savage bar attack
11:36am Sunday 7th October 2012 in News By Gina Marden
A WOMAN was groped, punched, kicked and stamped on in a savage attack at a busy nightspot.
The victim had been enjoying a night out at Churchills in Tylers Avenue, Southend when she was groped by a man.
Then, without warning, she was punched by the man's girlfriend, causing her to fall from the floor.
As she lay on the groudn she was then kicked and stamped on.
The attack happened at 12.45am on Saturday.

I sometimes wonder whether I am reading the Echo or the Police Gazette. Rather than the Echo splitting up the headings for local news into Southend, Basildon, Leigh etc., how about splitting them into the various categories of crime, burglary, muggings, sex attacks etc, and just having "other stories" for the two non-crime articles we get each week.

If they didn't report the counties' crimes, how would we know what was happening around us?

I'd imagine that ordinarily if some bloke's bird saw that she'd lay into HIM. (First of course)
Methinks the lady doth protest too much

Wasn't this the place where the Bouncers killed a guy?

The Echo is a yellow paper - it looks for stories that are only going to cause sensational headlines that will make the public want to read.
A good local paper would balance the crime - which does happen - with the good news local stories, such as fundraising activities, school open days, lots of other things.
The Echo however, forgets certain events, or publicises them too late (Basildon Carnival this year for example). It skimms over the good news, and instead directs most of its resources to the crime writing, the fires, the attacks.
Yes we need to know this stuff happens, for witness appeals etc. But anyone who wanted to move to the area and read the Echo would be put off!

Oh how we have evolved recently, soon we will be acting like savages covering ourselves in war paint and wearing body piercing rings to become more noticeable to other tribes.

Sounds to me like a normal night out these days.

Heres an idea Mr Policeman, I personally dont care whether someone snorts a few lines or takes some pills, BUT I do care about violent thugs (sometimes working as bouncers) in the bars I go to.
