The Kang-A-Roo Court

An unfair, biased, or hasty judicial proceeding that ends in a harsh punishment; an unauthorized trial conducted by individuals who have taken the law into their own hands, such as those put on by vigilantes or prison inmates; a proceeding and its leaders who are considered sham, corrupt, and without regard for the law.

Always looking for stronger community relations, this Board relieved its Chair of his authority for reasons unbefitting a leader they say (pushing his personal agenda and getting arrested). They then asked that citizens volunteer for the Kang-A-Roo Court to come up with some improper instances attributed to the former chair, Panagioti Tsolkos, in order to support its anarchist insurrection by kicking him off as leader. Four concerned citizens, some of whom obsessed with anarchy in Lake Worth, raised their hands.

The question is whether the fox is watching over the hen house. Does this crack volunteer investigative board have no chickens in its own roost? Are they all lily white? Can anyone say they are qualified to throw stones or even should they be allowed to do so? At what point should rights of people be trampled upon? Ever?

It is the right of the accused to be tried by a legally constituted court, not by a kangaroo court" (Williams v. United States, 341 U.S. 97, 71 S. Ct. 576, 95 L. Ed. 774 [1951]). In the U.S., you are innocent and someone has to prove that you are guilty. That's what this kang-a-roo court will attempt to do...come up with proof--after the fact. That is just as bad as hanging the guy before evidence is presented and proved. Every accused has the right of due process BEFORE he is executed or thrown to the curb. In this case, our laws and common decency were violated by this Board in its unorthodox act of asking for and accepting volunteers to investigate its Chair.

Tonight they will tell you that they can legally form a sub-committee and do what they are doing.
Whether you like what Panagioti stands for or not, his rights were violated.

This Board, consumed with SSS (sanctimonious, superior virtue and self- righteous pious), meets tonight at City Hall at 6pm so that they now can work on identification cards for illegals. Even the illegal alien is treated with more respect than was Tsolkos, a citizen.

The "special investigative" committee will also come up with its support documents to justify the action taken against Tsolkos. Democracy in action-- so much for community bridge building, getting along with your fellow neighbor and good will. This Board is looking for projects to work on. It can start with the basics in its mission statement: promote amicable relations.
