TBH they don't seem too phased, but then it's Hull.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-17015287
A 24-year-old man has been jailed for three years after pleading guilty to attacking customers in a Hull pub with a chainsaw.
Dean Dinnen launched the assault at the Endyke public house, north Hull in August 2011, after being thrown out for smoking on the premises.
He was overpowered by customers, one of whom received injuries to his arm during the incident.
People complain about CCTV but this is infotainment.

Yup, CCTV is "Big Brother" until such time as you need it to investigate and prosecute.
Only three years? Lenient if you ask me.

The shotgun under the bar has made a lot of people calm down.

Damn well done for them taking him out like that.

Clearly chainsaws should be regulated.
these are things we think we know
these are feelings we might even share
these are thoughts we hide from ourselves
these are secrets we cannot lay bare.

Pity nobody had a gun, they could have saved everyone a bunch of money to house and feed this scumbag for the next three years.

Psycho fail.
Chainsaw was farty. I bet if someone had the presence of mind to throw a jumper, coat or something at the bar it would have stalled immediately.
As for the CCTV - I'm all for it in private establishments like pubs. It's the ones monitoring the public 24/7 I have a problem with.

Judging from the vid, he "tripped" a few more times after the keg took him down.

A lot of empty kegs handy in that place.

I'm thinking the next time I move I'm going to hire that crew. Didya see how fast they emptied that place of furniture?
