[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 7401699, member: 3656"] Anywhere different races and cultures exist in ghettos produces similar results. That's not the point though, is it? The group either broke the guidelines, or it didn't? Am I right? There was no interaction with another ethnic group. It was an independently organised action. What seems to be debated here is the response by the police, and whether they should have given the group a special free pass. But to give that special pass signals that 1. The group's gathering was more important than everyone else's. 2. The police are scared of them, and therefore won't react to other republican groups who try this. 3. The police can pick and choose which rules they enforce. 4. The police can pick and choose upon whom and where they enforce the law. This is pretty worrying for law and order. In the past, republicans argued that they were not subject to the law, because it was policed mostly by protestants (even though it was dealt with in a reasonably even handed way, considering the tough circumstances). What's the excuse now though, when catholic membership of the police is at about a third, and very few of the police on the beat were in that job during the troubles? [/QUOTE]
