Indra,
I am glad to see your comment on this.
I wish a meteor descend on her! These are the filth of society who are unable to prove any allegations, cannot go to the court and prove their case of the government being illegitimate or unconstitutional, but self-appoint to represent the public or democracy or whatever excuse suit to their agenda and then go causing mayhem.
