Facebook is gonna Facebook. All the comments are defending this man saying that he could’ve just bought it but we all know what the comments would be saying if this wasn’t a local man.
Can’t a guy just take his hatchet for a walk anymore? Jeez
Is there any follow up on this story? Like was he threatening people I assume and now just like doing done gardening
The social contract is slowly disintegrating and it’s genuinely sad to watch.
We need social solidarity now more than ever.
He was axing a question
Hatchet Harry? Didn’t know he was out.
He could have been taking it to the cathedral, to get it buried.
Can’t even take a hatchet to get blessed at the Cathedral anymore without getting arrested.
Im an innocent mon.
Who sold him the hatchet?
Check your shed lads – somebody, somewhere must be missing their hatchet.
My sister-in-law was there at the time, she was walking down Hill St when this guy came round the side of the cathedral and then what was on camera basically unfolded at that point. Said it looked like he was having some sort of manic episode or psychotic break.
He has been in the town centre for a while, saluting passing traffic and walking into the road. Very sad, clearly needs help but the police can only do so much.
Feckin hatchet hippies.. it’s good they nipped it in the bud before a real infestation set in.

He should have buried it.
Seems like he’d an axe to grind
As an American I found this both humorous and a sad comment on where I’m from as to why it comes across as so absurd to be funny. 🥲
Why did he do it?
Only two things in life are certain: death and axes. The former usually follows the latter.

He was only on his way to cut down branches for Halloween bonfire
Sounds about right for Newry. Know/knew a few ones from there and they are mental, tho not all are mental in a bad way, like this fella was
It’s so fuckin horrible that my immediate reaction was ‘please be white, please be white…’
