Working Title: Kangaroo Court: From YKTTW
Foxley: I removed the M example as that fits better under Joker Jury (i.e. the criminals did not have any authority to stage a trial).
Sikon: Removed this from the real life section:
- The Trial of Christ ... although this may count as a Xanatos Gambit
Ramidel: Removed the following:
- Planet of the Apes had one, set up by the apes' Knight Templar government.
This is Values Dissonance, not a Kangaroo Court. The apes were playing perfectly squarely; the protagonist just happened to be extremely guilty of being a talking human and a human who did not acknowledge ape supremacy.
Softspoken: I removed this from the Real Life section.
- Get caught with marijuana in the U.S., you'll see you some kangaroos.
- I removed the reference to blacks supposedly being sentenced before trial in the pre-Civil Rights American South as there was no link to any source. I removed the reference to the Australian Aboriginal Act because it was misquoted. Section 52 does not declare Aboriginals guilty until proven innocent.
