Kangaroo Court.
No justice was served, they convicted everyone, guilty or not.
Convicted them all of death.
Hanging, I guess.

I just listened to that song on the way home just now and it was the first time I realized what he said.
When a trial is obviously fixed or biased, it's called a kangaroo court.
Ya must of been soooo hiiigh...

Funny, I was going to put a dictionary link in my first post, but I was "Who the fuck doesnt know what a kangaroo court is?"...

I'm from semi-rural Australia and i've never heard of a kangaroo-court, so dont feel so bad. Maybe its one of those slander references and australians aren't meant to know it??

Thank you. I was getting ready to google it and you saved me the hassle. Wasn't so horrible, was it?
