Axeman goes on the rampage (From Echo)

Would 'someone's upset' be classed as an understatement....

"...six houses and ten vehicles were left destroyed".

One man with an axe? Damaged, yes. Badly damaged, possibly. Destroyed? I don't think so!

I have never seen anything like it. I understand the guy had lost his Father and just flipped.I was a nervous wreak. Luckily My oh.h was home but one woman was home alone with two children as he smashed all her windows in.He smashed the house windows then a car and so down the street.Had great support from the police and good presence from them all day.This doesnt happen very often and its no reflection on where I live. The guy had been drinking and that mixed with grief seemed to send him over the edge. Other factors I know about but thats all Im prepared to say.

where was this?

Then he will be free to write anti Police propaganda of this site.

I was going to call you cynical but now I probably agree!

yes there is quite a trail of destruction in the street looked like a bomb had gone off.glass everywhere but to say homes where destroyed is a slightly over the top, although they have all had their windows now boarded up.lots of damaged abounded cars in street most have been taken away on the backs of salvage lorries.

Lets not let the press wording of this incident take away the fear that residents felt in this street.

Thank you

Was it Mincer? He finally got tipped over the edge.

Dennis Stacey is a bit of a have-a-go hero - or alternatively the most fearless lunatic in the world.

The green is covered in dog's muck and used condoms. There's a madman with an axe lives just around the corner too. Not good selling points but I hear others have expressed an interest in making it their 'temporary' home regardless.

I'm reading this article now (Friday 1.38pm), and looking at some of the initial commenst that have been posted, it looks like the Echo are using the readers and contributrs to this forum as unpaid editors.

Looks like the story has been corrected on a couple of points.

Wouldn't it just be simpler if they checked what they were going to publish before releasing it?

It probably wouldn't be actually. They don't have to pay their readers !

They still haven't corrected the spelling of what I assume should read response as opposed to reponse. :-)

I lived in a children’s home in Billlericay High Street, and seem to remember, that outside the launderette in South Green, would be the meeting place for myself and others, before we'd embark on whatever nefarious activities we might have had planned.

It seems as though little has changed since the early Nineteen Seventies.

That sounds like my aunty Mary. She's harmless enough. Where has Rambling Sid Rumpole gone? Perhaps he's banged up. My aunty said the other day that she's like to be banged up. I think she meant knocked up but one can never be sure with her.

I was the only one in the home that was sent to Mayflower. It was deemed that my influence on the others (from the home) wasn't seen as conducive to learning.

You seem to hear a lot of things but when pressed to provide evidence of what you hear or say you suddenly revert to normal and become dumb.

Welcome back pikey mincer!!

mincer? what are you suggesting with the usage of that term?

What's the point in the police carrying cs gas to deal with armed violent offenders but sit and watch the incident occurring. If the axe man was attacking their car I reckon they would have got out and dealt with him.

It was an axe not a a gun - gas him then cuff him job done

Essex Police........they don,t have the staff.........too busy pen pushing and chasing targets that make the managers look good....ha

Surely anyone carrying an axe in public can be arrested immediately!

I came on here to be facetious/cynical but others beat me to it, I was gonna say only 18, he will be let off immediately. And muffindamule where do you live? dont appreciate your slurring those places , I lived in Billericay once,for many years, not actually South Green though, but I know people from there ! and Southend too !! It takes all sorts, its never the place it is always the PEOPLE. I read he was arrested, was he bailed too??

In the circumstances of this case most certainly. Had it been a law abiding citizen such as myself carrying an axe from the hardware shop to my home, then no. As with much of the law (not all, granted) it is very much a matter of common sense.

Of course people seeing you with such a implement would have to accept you were indeed "law abiding" before they felt comfortable, how they are to come to any conclusion might be a problem! Reading post on here might or might not help people make their minds up.

Hallo again naughtylady !
I do not wish to give away too many details but I can assure you that my knowledge of South Green is first hand. I lived in the notorious Passingham Avenue from the late 1950s for some years as a child before moving to another part of South Green where I spent the rest of my formative years. I still visit the old green there from time to time and am always amazed at how the dog's mess (I was infamous for treading in it as a child) shows a resilience second to no other dog's mess in the county. I swear some of those piles have been there for decades ! The same thing goes for the used condoms but I have to admit they looked a lot larger to me back in the 1960s. Perhaps they shrink with age as I have done.

With regards Southend, I confess that my connections are somewhat more tenuous. I used to visit the town quite regularly but tend to give it as wide a berth as possible these days. I must say that the new airport with its flights to Amsterdam are mighty appealing and an undeniable asset. In fact any mode of transport out of Southend has to be a good thing in my opinion.


As for the Axe Man, well, what can one say ? I doubt such an incident would have occured in the more civilised parts of Billericay. For one thing most places have gas central heating these days so there's little need to keep an axe in the house.

As you rightly say, it is people that make places. Maybe my early presence was a deciding factor in making South Green what it was and remains to this day. ;-)

@ Muffindamule:
I too moved to South Green as an infant in the late 50s but was not really too much aware of the Green itself until 1960 onwards. I can confirm the ever present dog faeces- very upsetting as I was invariably chosen to keep goal between the rolled up jackets so had the greatest chance of handling the mess.

I don't believe that the condoms have shrunk over the years, I tend to believe that the male organ may have become smaller so there is less stretch to the offending (as they were and may still be) articles.

On this subject, I would ask you to consider- is a used condom on The Green any more offensive than the offspring prevented by its use? After all, it is most surely not the place to copulate. It is not the sort of place I would ever have considered having intimate relations at. I was much more upmarket by the early 70s and had moved my courting to Sun Corner and never discarded any rubber upon such hallowed turf.

If your earlier post regarding The Green was suggesting that you had heard rumours of Pikeys moving onto it I think you can rest easy. Logistically it is not an option for them.

@Smagport
Perhaps you will remember little Johnny Greene from Grange Road ? A very offensive young man if ever there was one. It is said he was named after the circumstances of his conception.

South Green ? Don't make me laugh. Place is overrun with axe-wielding savages. Even the police have to resort to baton guns. Surprised they didn't use their tasers again. Nah, I'm choosy. Outwood Common for me. Plenty of good grazing there too !

What ? I hope that is some kind of a joke! Prety sick one if it is,.

I hope the good people of Patricia Gardens have got everything sorted now. Miust have been a shocking experiance. Is the bloke still in custody or have they let him out to terrorize the rest of the town?.

People of a racist nature can turn the happiest celebration into a hate fest if they wanted to so its no wonder they can turn something that clearly has nothing to do with Travellers into another bout of slur, innuendo and hate. Never mind we can but put up with him until he is dealt with.

You are quite right, Mr.Ketchup. The Genu Tremulus is better known as the Knee Trembler and we have one at HQ that dates from the time of Sir John Nightingale.

As this shrub is somewhat prominent in the garden of our main drive, it has been the custom for many years now to have it covered by a bespoke thin latex covering at times of any visit by a member of the royal family. A simple precaution to avoid any possibility of giving offence.

For many years the covering was listed on our HQ inventory as "Knee Trembler Condom" as this is how it is known to our gardening staff. It appears as a 'miscellaneous item' so would not normally attract any attention

Unfortunately, last year the Audit Office asked for a breakdown of all items constituting 'miscellaneous' so we had to show this 'condom' in our account to them.

It took some explaining I can tell you.

Ah yes. The Genu Tremulus. Never sold all that well and is now hard to find- very common in the 1970s though.

You are quite right, Mr.Ketchup. The Genu Tremulus is better known as the Knee Trembler and we have one at HQ that dates from the time of Sir John Nightingale.
