Joe Offer	BS: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916 (1327* d)	RE: BS: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916	08 May 16
Oh, and Teribus, you said: The round up and arrest of members and supporters of the IRB and IVF from all over Ireland numbered 3,509 Joe - ONLY ONE - Thomas Kent was executed and he was executed not for offences under the Treason Act but for the murder of a police officer, a charge he was undoubtedly guilty of. I'd blame Thomas Kent entirely. What about the 15 who were executed by firing squad at Kilmainham Gaol between 3 and 12 May? I don't understand why they don't fit into your count. Weren't they just as dead as Kent was? And wouldn't Kent have known that the others had been arrested and were likely to be executed? In the court of world opinion, Britain would have gained much, if it had only refrained from executing these people. Instead, it created martyrs and lost its case completely. -Joe-
