kangaroo

They are pretty much the definition of an unjust kangaroo court.

It's the hearing equivalent of a kangaroo court.

Have a fair trial and then hang the guilty SOB." To me, this always came off as blind obedience and "kangaroo court" justice.

Don't engage in kangaroo application processes just so you can claim it was competitive. It wasn't.

In this case, it is more a case of lazy and irresponsible journalism than kangaroo justice.

So a glorified crowbar-wielding thug that says: "Pay your protection fees or else we're heading to the kangaroo courts of East Texas."

Whether the charges brought can be proven remains to be seen, but let's not assume this is a sham and a kangaroo court because you consider what Snowden did to be heroic. It may have been, but that still doesn't make it legal.

As an example of a better long-distance runner, there was a kangaroo which was observed in the wild, to have travelled 200 miles in 10 hours. Since it probably did not go in a straight line, it likely travelled farther.

Should you also need a profound explanation for why things don't spontaneously change their mass or sprout kangaroo legs and start singing "La Bamba?" And what does it mean to ask if "gravity" is not actually a "force?"

| By any non-mad definition, Sweden is not a | banana republic This can't be a kangaroo court! We're not in Australia, so there are no kangaroos here!

Much like kangaroos in rural Australia. With fewer predators and enormous amounts of native bushland cleared for farming, they have multiplied to the point that they've become a pest.

Some kangaroo secret court, who the intelligence community has had broad authority to ignore?

He's running from a kangaroo court, not impartial justice. And if you think his "legitimacy" as a "conscientious objector" has any bearing whatsoever, then the thrust of the entire revelation has been lost on you.

While I consider UK to be a sane country, I don't want US companies to be subject to the whims of local little kangaroo courts. Perhaps they should be subject to billion dollar fines for not having Robert Mugabe's picture on their home page when viewed by Zimbabwean residents?

One could also imagine a horribly imperfect world where prosecutors routinely charge innocents and achieve convictions in every case regardless due to kangaroo courts. In both cases, the conviction rate is 100%, even though one world is great and one is awful.

Oh, and apparently we now do indefinite detention as well, without legal representation except in front of a kangaroo court, maybe, eventually. Finally, now that we definitely know some people were innocent...

Sure, the government can use kangaroo courts and send goons to get the data, but there is nothing special about Google in this regard. They can also send G-Men to get your bank accounts, school records, health records, telephone records, safeway history, DMV records, IRS tax records, credit card accounts, library or blockbuster rentals, and tons of vital information about your behavior that Google does not have.
