Sidang tragedi Kanjuruhan kali ini lebih heboh dari biasanya. Puluhan brimob hadir untuk "menyemangati" rekannya.

Eh, menyemangati atau membuat gaduh ya? 🙄

"Pak Kapolri, Hentikan Intimidasi Proses Sidang Kasus Kanjuruhan!"
Puluhan anggota brimob ini menyoraki jaksa dan membuat kegaduhan di sekitar ruang sidang.

Sayang banget kan?

Padahal, sidang kanjuruhan hari ini sudah memasuki tahap yang paling krusial, ada proses pembuktian dan penuntutan.

Pada sidang ke-12 hari ini anggota Polri semakin menunjukkan arogansi kekuasaan dan kekuatannya untuk mengintimidasi JPU dan Majelis hakim.

Duh gini banget ya....

The life of a nation depends on how well the creative and comedic juices of its people are flowing.

Cartoonist Unnamati Syama Sundar (who signs off as Syam) put together a book on the various cartoons - ‘No Laughing Matter: The Ambedkar Cartoons 1932-1956’. #kunalkamra
Dr. Ambedkar was not alone in being subjected to what the cartoonists’ saw as humour.

Think of the cartoons on VP Singh during the Mandal Commission, or Arjun Singh during the introduction of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) quota. #kunalkamra

Supreme Court Bench headed by CJI rejects a PIL which sought direction from the Court for implementation of laws against Contempt of Court.

CJI: This is like you're saying that Court should pass an injunction that there should not be rapes and murders.

#SupremeCourt Image
CJI Bobde: We are in full agreement that there should be no contempt of Court.... But, we cannot pass orders like this.

This is unnecessary. There is a law in place then why should we pass orders saying law should be followed?

Who'd have thought it!
@Far_Right_Watch #Gammonfest #London today as #YaxleyLennon's cultist followers demonstrate their failure to grasp he pleaded "#guilty to #contemptofcourt" and is thus jailed

#TommyRobinson put his #racism before ensuring delivery of a fair trail, no hero, just a #muppet
@Far_Right_Watch Career criminal (assault, mortgage fraud, contempt etc.) #YaxleyLennon begs for #asylum on #Infowars (#Sandyhook conspirators)

Apparently, Sam Nunberg's 15 minutes of fame aren't over. He's now on @AriMelber's show on @MSNBC. Even though Nunberg appeared *in person* rather than via phone, it's the same INSANITY‼️

🔥Nunberg just revealed that Mueller asked him about Trump's BUSINESS‼️ 1/
Nunberg just said that he's not a target or a subject of Mueller's probe, but instead, is just a witness. He said that he apparently said something during his interview that Mueller wants the grand jury to hear.🤔 2/
When Ari asked Nunberg against whom he thought he would testify before the grand jury, Nunberg said that he didn't know, but added that he REFUSED to testify against his "mentor," Roger Stone.🙄

Apparently, Nunberg is willing to GO TO PRISON to protect Roger Stone⁉️3/
