I watched the history of Ireland documentary a few months ago and they said the same thing.
The people of Dublin spat at and threw things at the rebels as they were led away. All this changed when a military court sentenced the leaders to death and had them executed.
Do politicans not study history, they seem to make the same mistakes over and over again.
