In the old days if the ruling class was a ti rent of the kind that have no love/support for the people. The locals would remove them, NO lengthy courts, Off with the heads/hang the high.

There was no remorse no quarter, and with out paws, did it, got it over with/done, Continued with life, New leaders, (government) and they,

LIVED HAPPY EVER AFTER. Until they had to do it again, And here we are again, Dooooing it again.
