The weekend's violence was much more deep-seated than many are perhaps prepared to accept. There has been a build-up of resentment that those who practice violence get listened to and have their concerns addressed ... Republicans are seen to influence government by threatening force and getting rewarded for their efforts. -Reg Empey
