"My case was that the rising was not wanted by the people"
We have no idea that this was the case - those in Dublin who protested represented a tiny minority of Dubliners.
There were in fact plans for risings to take place elsewhere whih were botched, but Irish peole had been fighting for independence for centuries - the demand was ongoing.
Even those who supported the war did so because they believed it would bring independence - the Robert Kee passage (which you, of course have ignored) proved that this was not the case and they changed their minds when British brutality was demonstrated (no out of sympathy for the martyrs, but as a reaction to Britain with the mask off)
Within a matter of months the country was up in arms fighting for Britain to get out of Ireland.
Yopu respond to the devastation of British mortar fire with a few antiseptic pictures of your own and no comment.
They did not "choose" a residential area - they chose the main building of the main thoroughfare in Dublin city because that was where it would make the most effective statement - It was a demand for independence, not an attempt to kill people or destroy property - they occupied buildings as a gesture.
The indiscriminate destruction has been demonstrated by the photographs and is to be found in the many photographs - a few of which you have been given and choose to ignore.
I think we're finished here, don't you?
