A Kangaroo Court is a bogus legal proceeding which disregards due process, the law and fairness in pursuit of expediency and desired outcomes, it is usually convened after orders from another similar Kangaroo proceeding

[Thread]
A Kangaroo Court has one purpose: to punish a particular individual regardless of whether he actually broke the law or not. It is conducted in such a way as to make it clear who's in charge (She State), but at the same time impossible to prove that they're abusing their powers
Even before a Kangaroo Court delivers its inevitable guilty verdict, the proceedings are designed to deliver maximum humiliation & misery to its victim. The KC only follows common legal principles when it suits it, but will not hesitate to disregard such if and when necessary
A Kangaroo Court fully operates on the concept of expediency. It's own laws and procedures are sufficiently vague and open-ended to allow it to change them as it goes using its "discretion". If things start going off-course, just change a rule and we're cooking again
Any normal legal proceeding has an unknown outcome, every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not so in a Kangaroo Court. The outcome of this particular proceeding is a foregone conclusion. The sitting is merely a formality to give a semblance of thoroughness
As noted above, the aim is to inflict maximum humiliation and misery. Thus, it is not acceptable, for instance, that the target of the KC simply invokes his right not to participate in the process. He needs to be there so onlookers may witness his flogging in the public square
Anyone who's watched TV will know how a Kangaroo Court works: the leader—a President/wealthy oligarch/connected politician who has just overthrown the previous regime, goes on a campaign to arrest his rivals for any reason he can think of...
His aim is to punish or get rid of one person, in particular. The Leader has managed to arrest/charge/kidnap that person and has his corrupt law enforcement system, police, investigators, and judges ready to send him to jail.
The Leader understands that he cannot just kill the person because it might make him a martyr in the eye of the people, make him look innocent, and if he was popular enough it could lead to a violent revolution. Plus it takes away the chance to brag about his suffering...
Hence the need for a Kangaroo Court, which is effectively a show trial, a show of force and an opportunity for virtue signalling on the part of the government. Due to the amount of political power and wealth behind a Kangaroo Court, surviving its onslaught rarely ever happens
