Noems actions with an innocent dog though unforgivable, has zero relevance with what is happening at the present time. Seems rather desperate on your part to make a connection which is of course par for the course. Right is right whether you killed your dog or not. Saying your city or state is at War with the Federal Government, encouraging violent protesters and sayings they're peaceful, taking away non-lethal means of deterrence or self defense. I'd say that's an Insurrection against the Federal Government, and that doesn't change just because Noem killed her dog.
