"The
only stable state is one in which all are equal before the
law."

Sceptic:
The
law is normally clear about such things as beatings, killings,
kidnapping and so on, and it applies to all concerned: the
Gardai (Police), members of the IRA (and suchlike), and to
everybody else in society.
The big
difficulty is that "ruling elites" arrogantly, and unlawfully
of course, put themselves above the law (and others beneath
it) in ways which cause social injustice, and then individuals
and organisations (such as the IRA for example) come into
existence to oppose the ruling elites in
question.
Frequently such confrontations
end up with both sides finding themselves being drawn into
areas of extreme lawlessness, which automatically involves the
use of extreme violence (physical and/or psychological) being
directed towards each other.
The ruling elites invariably
exacerbate the downward spiral of such socially destructive
events by ensuring the corrupt legal professions they control
prevent any lawful remedy for the aggrieved party/s: even
though legal remedies may well exist (but which are strictly
and corruptly reserved for "window-dressing purposes only" by
the ruling elites). Further
exacerbation occurs when the ruling elites lay all the blame
(100% plus!!) for the overall disastrous situation/s on the
doorstep/s of the aggrieved party/s -- as the ruling elites
also invariably tend to do, and even though the exact opposite
is true.
"The only stable state is one in
which all are equal before the law."
(
Aristotle,
384 BC - 322
BC)
Add to all that the
fact that, overall, we're extremely
slow learners
regarding such basic social matters: and thus things are the
way they are in the very dangerous world we all live in at the
present time (thanks to the "extreme lawlessness" referred to
above).
I don't think anybody doubts which
side the late
Dr Conor Cruise O'Brien was on
-- I don't anyway.
