FT - those involved in the firefight are not ashraf-annas and please do not derive the wrong lesson out of this unfortunate incident. Those involved should be arrested and put on trial swiftly as a lesson to others that disputes are resolved in a courtroom and not with guns. However when our leaders resort to guns to make their points and impose their agendas (even on the government and to overthrow governments) and when these actions are cheered by some, it is difficult to talk about the authority of the state or to criticise.
