Selective reasoning when it comes to 1916

Nothing illustrates how selective we can be on the question of 1916 than the following story which is, apparently, quite true.

Having taken over the GPO, Connolly told The O’Rahilly to take a Dublin Metropolitan Policeman, who happened to be on duty in the GPO, outside and shoot him.

Bear in mind that the DMP were unarmed. The O’Rahilly took the man outside and let him go.
