"Easter Monday was a bank holiday, so The GPO and Jacob's Biscuits were actually closed. So much for your Easter rising"

How is it beside the point? I'm pointing out a fact.

How long before the Brazilian cops start shooting live rounds?

On whose side?

They seem to have remained "constitutional".

Security forces detain 1,200 after Brasília riots.
