we used to regularly get chased up n down Gordon St by some fella with an Axe (it was kind of a game to us . . . to get chased - if the frogger arcade machine was broken in that garage behind the shop). . . i was gonna say chopper but i didnt want people to draw the wrong conclusion .
Maybe he was looking for some wood to chop up...easy mistake to make I'd wager...Damm those trigger happy cops...
The fire tenders are there because the emergency services were called, don't worry, the police haven't just shot a fireman.
There's loads of quotes in the local rag about him being a 'lovely lad' and 'wouldn't hurt a fly', but then this - Mr Skelton was jailed for two years in 2008 after he and his then partner admitted child cruelty through neglect. Their daughter had suffered serious injuries, which they denied causing, but admitted failing to seek medical attention.
Nah, the police in this country will only shoot you if you actually pose a threat. In the States, on the other hand, you'll get shot just for having a copious amount of melanin.
