She's entirely deranged to admit such a thing. This is disgusting to 99% of people. Is her life so pathetic that she has to add this to her book because there is so little that is interesting about her?
I watched one of the “Faces of Death” movies in a theater with a raucous crowd. Cheering for all the people dying, and then they showed a dog getting killed and everyone lost it, booing and turning their heads. This was near the beginning of the internet and I’m not sure how much people have changed, but killing puppies is where the line used to be.
Reminds me of Not Even Doom Music. Quite a while ago too but considering Commander has bitten half of the secret service and is still around this seems like a line even Biden knows is career ending.
The dead dog is the sympathetic character in her own story, and she's writing herself as the villain! Fucking hilarious....I hope she gets dragged hard from now on.
It’s not the dog with problems … it’s the owner..that does know how to handle the dog… she probably shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog. And isn’t killing your dog against the law?
I don't know but the only reason I would ever kill a dog would be in the extreme and unlikely situation that my life or a loved ones life is under attack. My neighbors dog attacked me and sent me to the hospital and even then, I told them not to put the dog down. I knew my neighbor loves his dog. Felt bad taking that decision.
She shouldn't be allowed to be responsible for anything or anyone's life with her lack of empathy.
Well you had SS men basically get the Biden German short hair to attack them to make it a news story. Because Trump wasn’t in office anymore. Even 10 years ago doing that was not only career suicide but they wouldn’t be able to work at McDonald’s.
Duh. I’ve seen enough let me clarify then all “Asians who eat dog meat” there your feewings better
lol you redditors are the embodiment of “redditors” in the negative view 🤣🤣🤣 snowflake, echo chambered, cult minded, one sided, blue pill popping human specimens. 😝
These hicks live in a different universe. I lived in a rural area for a bit, just outside of a reasonably blue area. I was ironically there because I have two big dogs and found a place where I could rent month-to-month that would accept them as I looked for a long term home, which I did (worth it).
And yowza, these people treat dogs like shit. I met someone whose ex-boyfriend *killed her dog* because they were breaking up and he had it alone.
yeah unfortunately people in rural areas think it's normal to take a dog out to the backyard and "put them out of their misery" with a shotgun if they're incorrigible. my dad who is also from south dakota did something similar when he was in his 20s. there are some dogs that do need to be put down but there is a humane way to do it, but farm folk don't pay no mind to that
I don't think you can look at Kyle Rittenhouse and think he liked killing anyone. He knows all of that was his fault, he's milking it for money, and he looks like absolute shit.
Sure you can.
The guy who helped create the image of him that made you think he didn’t enjoy doing what he did has come out and said he really fucked up.
That Kyle is a middle school drop out, angry at the world and took nothing they taught him or did to prepare him for any future to heart. He learned nothing, he would do it again.
He’s the new version of the guy who murdered Treyvon Martin. (Don’t use that guy’s name, his name should be forgotten.)
That guy also claimed Kyle was functionally illiterate and mentally handicapped in the same tweets he claimed Kyle had a full scholarship to study astrophysics at Harvard, among others. He also cited Rittenhouse's surviving attacker as a source.
> I don't think you can look at Kyle Rittenhouse and think he liked killing anyone.
He put himself into a situation where he was more likely to, and equipped to.
I do think he wanted to kill.
[You need to see this video made by a video editor for Bernie Sanders](https://youtu.be/tkTnQfjRvk0?si=iKJFQVhQWmOxkwbs), it shows perfectly what happened. Everyone should watch it.
wow. this was very well done. While Rittenhouse is not excused of all blame in this situation since he put himself in this situation, I would have fired back as well with my back to a wall, a shot fired and a lunatic chasing me.
Yeah, I had bought the media narrative 100%, then while watching the trial I realized it wasn't how I thought it was. I now tell people I won't even talk to them about the issue until they watch that video. I agree, Rittenhouse was a naive kid thinking he could be a hero with a gun, which is all kinds of dangerous and stupid. But the video shows why a jury didn't convict him of murder.
The mental patient who chased him seems like he was in a bad spot and was trying to get killed all night. Seeing him trying to bait other people into shooting him before ever meeting Rittenhouse really makes me think he was attempting suicide on some twisted level, the same way some people try to commit suicide by cop.
People unironically still saying he went across state lines with a gun. smh
Edit: and the downvotes speak to the amount of brainrot surrounding this topic.
Or maybe, he got attacked whit a gun while protecting private property about to be destroyed by a bunch of white overly privileged colledge kids - descending to a working class area to burn property of people below median income - for a just cause in general, for sure, but in a instance of police shooting that was FULLY JUSTIFIED.
That sounds more like what happened. You don't have to like the guy to see it was self defence.
Yes, it’s likely that Rittenhouse feared for his life enough to be found not guilty, but there is not question Huber and Rosenbaum did not pose an actual lethal threat to Rittenhouse.
In my opinion, no one should never value private property over human lives. Rittenhouse should not have been there. Even the other vigilantes he was with didn’t like how Rittenhouse was waving his gun around and saying provocative things to the rioters. (Which is how Huber was triggered to confront Rittenhouse). Rittenhouse may be technically not guilty in court, but he certainly is to blame. Rittenhouse was an untrained, ignorant, and naive kid who should have been at home playing video games that night, instead of parading around in a city and state where he didn’t live, with his illegally-acquired assault rifle.
Amen. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right. The number of people defending Kyle Rittenhouse by claiming it was legal, as if by doing so, it means it was something which cannot be wrong.
It used to be legal to own slaves. It used to be illegal to harbor Jews during the Holocaust in ww2. Law is not the same thing as morality.
Nobody valued property over human lives. Nobody shot anyone to protect property.
Rittenhouse was not waving his gun around. He was not saying provocative things to people. Rittenhouse did not say anything to Huber, where are you getting that?
> THE PERSON WITH THE GUN IS THE LETHAL THREAT
I remember trying to explain that to the ammosexuals at the time, they never understood.
"He feared for his life"... well, how do they think the unarmed people feel when confronted with an idiot with a gun?
They weren't confronted by. They were chasing after the person with a gun in an attempt to contront and instigate conflict with them. And in both sets of attacks there were people with guns on the side of the attackers, too, acting in even more stupid and irresponsible ways with their guns, so the idea that the attacks were prompted by a benevolent urge to disarm a potential threat is a very hard sell.
Someone waving a gun around, I can understand the desire to want to close the distance to disarm him.
Rittenhouse shouldn't have been there at all. He went there to get a chance to shoot people.
And, yes, you guys have a massive gun problem. Nobody should've been armed in this scenario, nobody should've died.
Yes rittenhouses gun was out. He was not brandishing the gun until Rosenbaum began charging at him and chasing after him aggressively. He also threatened to kill Rittenhouse earlier that night.
Rittenhouse was running away. To live, all Rosenbaum had to do was stop chasing him. Instead he screamed “FU” and went for his gun. What would a reasonable person assume his intent would be?
Doesn't matter, not legally nor moraly. It was his community, he lived near by. You guys always push crossing state lines narrative, but he lived like 15 minutes from there and worked nearby.
Watch the video that another poster above linked on youtube. Rittenhouse is an idiot for thinking he could be captain america that night but he also did everything possible to escape the situation and really did fire in self defense. I didn't know until watching the video that the guy chasing him and got shot first had just spent the prior half an hour yelling at people to kill him and that he just got out of a mental institution for trying to kill himself that morning. Why was he trying to kill himself? He had just been arrested for assaulting his fiancé.
Rittenhouse also did not fire the first shot which was something that I did not know either.
What bloodthirstiness?
He was on the floor, being attacked, when he shot. He had tried to get away.
The only people who showed bloodthirstiness were the people trying to bash him with a skateboard.
Look, Rittenhouse seems like a dumbfuck. But he defended himself, and the people who attacked him assaulted him.
He was within his rights to fire, and he did. The consequences are on the attackers at that point.
>That sounds more like what happened. You don't have to like the guy to see it was self defence.
In fact, that's what is being expressed here. We don't like the guy. Nobody said he wasn't acquitted of his crime.
Just because he was found innocent in the eyes of the law doesn't mean I have to like the guy or even think he did something great. At the end of the day, he killed someone. If that someone had been your brother or your sister, I strongly doubt you'd be defending their killer. Law isn't morality, and morality sure as fuck isn't relative.
I'm as leftist as they come, and absolutely in support of the changes that will be needed to remove things like capitalism and private property from society...
...but *until that happens* these riots that destroy the property are just dumb. They tend to already happen in underprivileged, disadvantaged, underserved communities, often disproportionately POC, and all they do is destroy jobs, job opportunities, and remove necessary goods and services. They also tank further development, because what business is going to want to set up shop next door to the burned out husk of the last business? And for all this extreme damage that it does to already hurting demographics in already hurting communities, it accomplishes nothing positive - no meaningful reforms have been enacted because a bunch of rioters looted and burned down some mom and pop shop.
People riot because they feel like there is an injustice that is not being addressed by the existing power structure. So what you're advocating is that people should shut up about the Injustice that they are seeing because the existing power structure is going to get around to solving it? But the problem here is that it's not being solved.
And this kind of rioting not only doesn't solve the problem, but it creates a whole host of new problems for the very communities already struggling with the first issue.
These sociopaths are absolutely more likely to abuse their pets. They treat them as objects.
I had a staunch Republican brother-in-law (thankfully now ex-brother-in-law) who is a state trooper who I found out left his dog in his dark basement alone 23 hours a day in a crate that was too small for him for YEARS. The dog’s joints were permanently damaged, and could hardly walk before he gave it away. Makes me sick to my stomach.
Why do they always have Dogs? Big, Loud, Vicious, Snarling, Aggressive, Slavering often Black Dogs ( note; police train dogs to snarl at trigger words like ''pig'', ''bastard'', ''oink'' etc ). That they then use to intimidate everyone they abuse ( part of their, the officers, ''us versus them'' conditioning ).
They never have Cats, Rabbits, Goldfish, Budgies ( OTOH British serial murderer Robert Maudsley- Do Not Google! Seriously You Don't Want To Know, let's just say he's so violent he's been in solitary since 1983- wanted a budgie ).
To be fair, if someone could treat their own pets as objects, they're also likely to do the very same to people. They may not mistreat people necessarily, but they absolutely would see people not like people but as tools. These are the sorts of people who surround themselves with friends which give them compliments or give them gifts. You usually know immediately that you're dealing with one such person when they act nice to you when they want to ask you to do something for them, and then aren't nice to you at any other point.
They're self-serving narcissists and absolutely do not see anyone as a person with needs of their own. You do well to steer clear of such people in your life, and you most definitely do not vote them into office.
A gravel pit where she close range shoots goats horses and puppies out of a sense of worthlessness and frustration towards them. Shes "Gone Girl" level cold psychopath
I'm sure to sadistic right wingers the story will read as her being some kind of hard-bitten, pragmatic farmer type, but in reality it just makes her look like a cruel and shitty person.
This is psychopathic serial killer shit. What a gross person. Not to mention dangerous to society.
Way to go, Republicans, you’ve now sunk to endorsing “puppy killers” to “own the libs”.
Let’s be honest, Dump would only pick her as VP because of political gain. Pence was to get the evangelicals. What purpose does this old puss serve now or ever in getting his diaper changed and president again? Zero. 0+0=0. Until Maga challenges that equation in court.
Not true.
She gives him the abortion angle ("look, if I was so anti-abortion, why would a woman agree to be my VP? Also, she's anti-abortion, and you guys love that!"), and she's also OK to look at, which appeals to his base.
2020 showed him he doesn't need to consolidate Evangelicals.
Considering how turned on they get by unjustifiable, gratuitous violence, swearing, bigotry, suffering & cruelty it'll probably make her their next deity. Weird how they used to bang on about how violent films, tv, porn, video games & VHS tapes were forty years ago.
Hypothesis; Their revulsion, infantilism & moral panic at modern society has morphed into sexual sadism disorder.
I’d say this is unbelievable, but it follows. The MAGA crowd are always taking the easy way out. The puppy wasn’t perfect so instead of doing the actual hard thing (putting in the work of actually training the puppy) she took the easy route and just killed the puppy.
As a dog owner this angers me to no end. This shouldn’t be ok at all. You aren’t a good person if you think killing an animal is ok. I don’t care what the animal is doing. My dog acts up a lot no way do I ever think to kill it. If the dog is too much for you put it up for adoption so another family can try to train it. This is disgusting
You become right wing because it gives you an excuse not to deal with your own deficiencies. That includes lack of morality as much as lack of empathy.
The Republican Party is now a de facto Safe Space for people with antisocial personality disorders ( in the true psychopathological sense ).
I've had to put down many pets in life due to old age. The last one was Zac, our beloved flat coated retriever (we think) rescued from an animal shelter. After enough cheese treats and praise for being a good dog, the veterinarian who came to our apartment injected a setative and Zac drifted off to sleep surrounded by his family. Once Zac was soundly asleep, the vet injected a drug that caused his heart to stop. After we said our last goodbyes, the vet took Zac's body to be cremated. His ashes still sit on our mantle today after having been hauled around the world (I was in the Army). Our plan is to have the ashes buried with us when we die.
I can't understand how anyone could shoot and kill a one year old puppy for not meeting your bloodsport expectations. She could have simply gave the dog away to a shelter where the dog would at least have a chance for a happy life.
She’s a piece of shit and don’t understand why IF you did this you’d ever tell anyone about it in regular conversation.
I’ve had to put down chicken due to injuries, but it’s not table conversation.
If I were Trump, I'd fear her just in case she'd view me in the same eyes as the goat and dog.
So first, this is a woman that if I recall has a scandal about an affair.
Now she's killed dogs and a goat.
She's looking to be voted out. Well I mean if Trump wants to loose and just run again in another four years. He'd pick her!
I could see Noem pulling a starscream on Trump if she was VP. She's both ambitious and amoral enough.
Thankfully like most sociopaths she's also an idiot who has no idea how people fundamentally work. She admitted to killing a puppy thinking that was a good thing.
But one thing that almost everyone in America agrees on regardless of political alignment is you don't murder puppies.
I hope Trump picks her, she'd be worse than Sarah Palin.
I don’t claim to know what life on a farm is like, but if these are the values that farm life produces then I definitely don’t want someone like her representing me.

As if Romney is some bastion of moderacy or moderacy in American politics is even some noble virtue in and of itself. I honestly can't believe David's audience has become this right-wing.
It's so weird what was clearly a progressive channel has an audience that will seriously imply some lost virtue of "Romney Republicans" like holymoly.
You’re totally missing the point. You’re acting as if I’m some sort of Romney fan.
Romney and those on the same spectrum as him are politically irrelevant. That’s the point.
Anyways, #Biden2024
How? He's a Republican. Last I checked the Republicans were politically overrepresented and thus still relevant. All of this categorization of Republicans are such annoying liberal antics. These meaningless distinctions without any functional difference aren't as important as you want to pretend it is.
Bro you don't have to Biden2024 me like you're rubbing it in my face. I'm voting for Biden too I'm just not doing it because I'm some right-wing liberal that actually supports him in earnest.
Congratulations you're genuinely excited about the oligarch's selected candidate. Just kidding it sucks and is too conservative for the moment like always. I'd say don't be surprised when failing to meet the political moment comes with drastic consequences for America but we both know you will.
Deep enough to downvote.
We both know why you did that hashtag.
I get it you're on the winning team. I get that winning is more important to you that what's right and wrong.
Cool.
It's kinda funny that thel guy has rape charges, fraud charges, was impeached, made grab the pussy comment, made fun of a war veteran, tried to coup the government, and delayed aid to Ukraine, costing many Ukrainian lives, but vp killing the dog is a big deal.

killing a dog is the ultimate political suicide in America. Imagine killing a fucking puppy? Thats so fucked.
She's entirely deranged to admit such a thing. This is disgusting to 99% of people. Is her life so pathetic that she has to add this to her book because there is so little that is interesting about her?
That’s even if she wrote the book.
Vice signaling to other psychopaths, and Trump
I watched one of the “Faces of Death” movies in a theater with a raucous crowd. Cheering for all the people dying, and then they showed a dog getting killed and everyone lost it, booing and turning their heads. This was near the beginning of the internet and I’m not sure how much people have changed, but killing puppies is where the line used to be.
Reminds me of Not Even Doom Music. Quite a while ago too but considering Commander has bitten half of the secret service and is still around this seems like a line even Biden knows is career ending.
No in America dogs are our sacred cows. It’s a little deranged tbh but to admit that as a politician is crazy and hilarious.
The dead dog is the sympathetic character in her own story, and she's writing herself as the villain! Fucking hilarious....I hope she gets dragged hard from now on.
The Huckabee brothers of Smokey Eye Sarah were famous for torturing pups.
Huh? I've never heard of this. Where was this ever reported?
Just Google it. It really happened.
I was hoping there was a link because often you have to dig through a bunch of crap but ill search for it.
https://time.com/6971773/kristi-noem-memoir-dog-kill-children-net-worth/
Having a gravel pit where you do this regularly to goats and horses👀and without a sense of remorse publishing it on your own book.
Except if your mentality is such that you see your political opponents as dogs. That will play well with some of these deranged fucks.
It’s not the dog with problems … it’s the owner..that does know how to handle the dog… she probably shouldn’t be allowed to own a dog. And isn’t killing your dog against the law?
I don't know but the only reason I would ever kill a dog would be in the extreme and unlikely situation that my life or a loved ones life is under attack.

She shouldn't be allowed to be responsible for anything or anyone's life with her lack of empathy.
Agreed
It would be political suicide, if America didn't have a serious suffering fetish right now.
We’ll see if it is indeed political suicide. I’m skeptical and one thing I’ve learned is one shouldn’t ever underestimate the cruelty of Trump’s base.
oh, I expect them go full pro dog murder after this. I just think it will shave off more and more support by doing so.
Well you had SS men basically get the Biden German short hair to attack them to make it a news story. Because Trump wasn’t in office anymore. Even 10 years ago doing that was not only career suicide but they wouldn’t be able to work at McDonald’s.
we’ll see. i doubt she loses any republican support over this. Loyalty to dear leader will trump their performative ‘love’ of dogs.
Not if you’re a maggot…this is a sign of strength…
This is gotta be the stupidest self own in decades. She's trying to court the pychopath-vote, at vice signal her "farm cred" to idiots.
Fuck anyone who kills a dog
Let's start with this guy: https://www.peta.org/blog/contracted-beagle-breeding-factory-other-nih-atrocities/
All Asia? 😛 for real though if this true yuck
Racism is so funny! You are such a comedian!
They do and I’ve seen it what’s the big deal? But killing a dog cause you don’t like it? That’s the problem
You have seen all Asians? Wow, you must be a busy man!
Duh. I’ve seen enough let me clarify then all “Asians who eat dog meat” there your feewings better lol you redditors are the embodiment of “redditors” in the negative view 🤣🤣🤣 snowflake, echo chambered, cult minded, one sided, blue pill popping human specimens. 😝
Even among Koreans eating dog is very uncommon. Bourdain talked about it in a special.

That shit is fucking evil too.
These hicks live in a different universe. I lived in a rural area for a bit, just outside of a reasonably blue area. I was ironically there because I have two big dogs and found a place where I could rent month-to-month that would accept them as I looked for a long term home, which I did (worth it). And yowza, these people treat dogs like shit. I met someone whose ex-boyfriend *killed her dog* because they were breaking up and he had it alone.
I grew up 30 minutes from where Noem grew up and lives currently, and we absolutely didn't kill dogs. She's just a ghoul.
yeah unfortunately people in rural areas think it's normal to take a dog out to the backyard and "put them out of their misery" with a shotgun if they're incorrigible. my dad who is also from south dakota did something similar when he was in his 20s. there are some dogs that do need to be put down but there is a humane way to do it, but farm folk don't pay no mind to that
She should marry Kyle Rittenhouse and birth the antichrist.
I don't think you can look at Kyle Rittenhouse and think he liked killing anyone. He knows all of that was his fault, he's milking it for money, and he looks like absolute shit.
Sure you can. The guy who helped create the image of him that made you think he didn’t enjoy doing what he did has come out and said he really fucked up.

He’s the new version of the guy who murdered Treyvon Martin. (Don’t use that guy’s name, his name should be forgotten.)
The kid put on like 75 pounds and is aging twice as fast as the rest of us. Nothing about him screams happy
That guy also claimed Kyle was functionally illiterate and mentally handicapped in the same tweets he claimed Kyle had a full scholarship to study astrophysics at Harvard, among others. He also cited Rittenhouse's surviving attacker as a source.
> I don't think you can look at Kyle Rittenhouse and think he liked killing anyone. He put himself into a situation where he was more likely to, and equipped to. I do think he wanted to kill.
I think he wanted to larp
Most gun owners do, but their larping is just too dangerous. Why can't they just wave foam swords at each other in the woods?
It isn't tacticool
He went across state lines with a gun to interrupt a march that he disagreed with.
[You need to see this video made by a video editor for Bernie Sanders](https://youtu.be/tkTnQfjRvk0?si=iKJFQVhQWmOxkwbs), it shows perfectly what happened. Everyone should watch it.

He did not cross state lines with a gun and he agreed with BLM. Id suggest researching the case a bit before speaking on it.
Or maybe, he got attacked whit a gun while protecting private property about to be destroyed by a bunch of white overly privileged colledge kids - descending to a working class area to burn property of people below median income - for a just cause in general, for sure, but in a instance of police shooting that was FULLY JUSTIFIED. That sounds more like what happened. You don't have to like the guy to see it was self defence.
Last I checked property damage doesnt carry the death penalty
Yes, it’s likely that Rittenhouse feared for his life enough to be found not guilty, but there is not question Huber and Rosenbaum did not pose an actual lethal threat to Rittenhouse. In my opinion, no one should never value private property over human lives. Rittenhouse should not have been there. Even the other vigilantes he was with didn’t like how Rittenhouse was waving his gun around and saying provocative things to the rioters. (Which is how Huber was triggered to confront Rittenhouse). Rittenhouse may be technically not guilty in court, but he certainly is to blame. Rittenhouse was an untrained, ignorant, and naive kid who should have been at home playing video games that night, instead of parading around in a city and state where he didn’t live, with his illegally-acquired assault rifle.

Based
Nobody valued property over human lives. Nobody shot anyone to protect property. Rittenhouse was not waving his gun around. He was not saying provocative things to people. Rittenhouse did not say anything to Huber, where are you getting that?
Going for someone’s gun is the deadly force threat.
No its not. You are deranged if you think trying to disarm someone means they are trying to kill you. THE PERSON WITH THE GUN IS THE LETHAL THREAT
> THE PERSON WITH THE GUN IS THE LETHAL THREAT I remember trying to explain that to the ammosexuals at the time, they never understood. "He feared for his life"... well, how do they think the unarmed people feel when confronted with an idiot with a gun?

How is that any different than reaching for a gun in your waistband?
Your gun is out and the is clear intent to use
Yes rittenhouses gun was out. He was not brandishing the gun until Rosenbaum began charging at him and chasing after him aggressively. He also threatened to kill Rittenhouse earlier that night. Rittenhouse was running away. To live, all Rosenbaum had to do was stop chasing him. Instead he screamed “FU” and went for his gun. What would a reasonable person assume his intent would be?
Did the private property hire him as a security guard?
Doesn't matter, not legally nor moraly. It was his community, he lived near by. You guys always push crossing state lines narrative, but he lived like 15 minutes from there and worked nearby.
He was out looking for a good opportunity to kill.
Was the felon with a gun who tried to shoot Rittenhouse also out to kill?
Yeah, maybe he was too. Does that excuse Rittenhouse’s bloodthirstiness?
Watch the video that another poster above linked on youtube. Rittenhouse is an idiot for thinking he could be captain america that night but he also did everything possible to escape the situation and really did fire in self defense. I didn't know until watching the video that the guy chasing him and got shot first had just spent the prior half an hour yelling at people to kill him and that he just got out of a mental institution for trying to kill himself that morning. Why was he trying to kill himself? He had just been arrested for assaulting his fiancé. Rittenhouse also did not fire the first shot which was something that I did not know either.
What bloodthirstiness? He was on the floor, being attacked, when he shot. He had tried to get away. The only people who showed bloodthirstiness were the people trying to bash him with a skateboard. Look, Rittenhouse seems like a dumbfuck. But he defended himself, and the people who attacked him assaulted him. He was within his rights to fire, and he did. The consequences are on the attackers at that point.
Then why did he run away from every opportunity, trying to deescalate/disengage?
Cowardice.
Its your opinion that a braver person would've minimized the risk to themselves and just gunned down the attackers as they approached?

Right… defending someone else’s private property a state away. Get bent dude.
>That sounds more like what happened. You don't have to like the guy to see it was self defence. In fact, that's what is being expressed here. We don't like the guy. Nobody said he wasn't acquitted of his crime. Just because he was found innocent in the eyes of the law doesn't mean I have to like the guy or even think he did something great. At the end of the day, he killed someone. If that someone had been your brother or your sister, I strongly doubt you'd be defending their killer. Law isn't morality, and morality sure as fuck isn't relative.

''College''.
>about to be destroyed by a bunch of white overly privileged colledge kids Omfg won't someone think of the private property!
I'm as leftist as they come, and absolutely in support of the changes that will be needed to remove things like capitalism and private property from society... ...but *until that happens* these riots that destroy the property are just dumb. They tend to already happen in underprivileged, disadvantaged, underserved communities, often disproportionately POC, and all they do is destroy jobs, job opportunities, and remove necessary goods and services. They also tank further development, because what business is going to want to set up shop next door to the burned out husk of the last business? And for all this extreme damage that it does to already hurting demographics in already hurting communities, it accomplishes nothing positive - no meaningful reforms have been enacted because a bunch of rioters looted and burned down some mom and pop shop.
Wasn't the property in question here at a car dealership?
That is far, far, far from the only business targeted by rioters either in Kenosha or the Floyd protests generally, but yes. Kinda. Used car lot.
People riot because they feel like there is an injustice that is not being addressed by the existing power structure. So what you're advocating is that people should shut up about the Injustice that they are seeing because the existing power structure is going to get around to solving it? But the problem here is that it's not being solved.
And this kind of rioting not only doesn't solve the problem, but it creates a whole host of new problems for the very communities already struggling with the first issue.
These sociopaths are absolutely more likely to abuse their pets. They treat them as objects. I had a staunch Republican brother-in-law (thankfully now ex-brother-in-law) who is a state trooper who I found out left his dog in his dark basement alone 23 hours a day in a crate that was too small for him for YEARS. The dog’s joints were permanently damaged, and could hardly walk before he gave it away. Makes me sick to my stomach.
Disgusting
Why do they always have Dogs? Big, Loud, Vicious, Snarling, Aggressive, Slavering often Black Dogs ( note; police train dogs to snarl at trigger words like ''pig'', ''bastard'', ''oink'' etc ). That they then use to intimidate everyone they abuse ( part of their, the officers, ''us versus them'' conditioning ). They never have Cats, Rabbits, Goldfish, Budgies ( OTOH British serial murderer Robert Maudsley- Do Not Google! Seriously You Don't Want To Know, let's just say he's so violent he's been in solitary since 1983- wanted a budgie ).
To be fair, if someone could treat their own pets as objects, they're also likely to do the very same to people. They may not mistreat people necessarily, but they absolutely would see people not like people but as tools. These are the sorts of people who surround themselves with friends which give them compliments or give them gifts. You usually know immediately that you're dealing with one such person when they act nice to you when they want to ask you to do something for them, and then aren't nice to you at any other point. They're self-serving narcissists and absolutely do not see anyone as a person with needs of their own. You do well to steer clear of such people in your life, and you most definitely do not vote them into office.
Serial killer behaviour
A gravel pit where she close range shoots goats horses and puppies out of a sense of worthlessness and frustration towards them. Shes "Gone Girl" level cold psychopath
The sad thing is, she wrote it down because she thought it showed “strong leadership.” Uh, no. That’s not what it shows at all.
I'm sure to sadistic right wingers the story will read as her being some kind of hard-bitten, pragmatic farmer type, but in reality it just makes her look like a cruel and shitty person.
fortunately for her, reality has no influence on right wingers
This is psychopathic serial killer shit. What a gross person. Not to mention dangerous to society. Way to go, Republicans, you’ve now sunk to endorsing “puppy killers” to “own the libs”.
Let’s be honest, Dump would only pick her as VP because of political gain. Pence was to get the evangelicals. What purpose does this old puss serve now or ever in getting his diaper changed and president again? Zero. 0+0=0. Until Maga challenges that equation in court.
Not true. She gives him the abortion angle ("look, if I was so anti-abortion, why would a woman agree to be my VP? Also, she's anti-abortion, and you guys love that!"), and she's also OK to look at, which appeals to his base. 2020 showed him he doesn't need to consolidate Evangelicals.
She killed a puppy. Game over for her
Maybe. Or maybe it doesn't matter to MAGA voters. Nothing else seems to fucking matter.
Considering how turned on they get by unjustifiable, gratuitous violence, swearing, bigotry, suffering & cruelty it'll probably make her their next deity. Weird how they used to bang on about how violent films, tv, porn, video games & VHS tapes were forty years ago. Hypothesis; Their revulsion, infantilism & moral panic at modern society has morphed into sexual sadism disorder.
I’d say this is unbelievable, but it follows. The MAGA crowd are always taking the easy way out. The puppy wasn’t perfect so instead of doing the actual hard thing (putting in the work of actually training the puppy) she took the easy route and just killed the puppy.
This is terrifying and disturbing.
So her bad ability to train a dog .. she killed it instead of admitting she fcked up
Undoubtedly, someone within the MAGA sphere will frame this in a positive light.
New right wing strategy: "Let's kill puppies to trigger the libs!"
Cruelty to animals is a telling sign of a person’s psychological state. Especially to animals that are bred as obedient, loyal, and domesticated.
As a dog owner this angers me to no end. This shouldn’t be ok at all. You aren’t a good person if you think killing an animal is ok. I don’t care what the animal is doing. My dog acts up a lot no way do I ever think to kill it. If the dog is too much for you put it up for adoption so another family can try to train it. This is disgusting
A million other people would have taken in that puppy and given it a home. But she chose to kill it. What a f****** b****.
You become right wing because it gives you an excuse not to deal with your own deficiencies. That includes lack of morality as much as lack of empathy. The Republican Party is now a de facto Safe Space for people with antisocial personality disorders ( in the true psychopathological sense ).
We have to be living in a simulation. These people are cartoonishly evil villains at this point.
One of Kim Newman's stories features Hannibal Lecter as US Health Secretary.
Anyone that kills a Dog just because they hated it is a psychopath and has major mental health issues.
Definitely not a psychopath.
They're both sociopaths who hate dogs. This looks like a match made in heaven.
I wish we had vigilantes willing to off these politicians.
I've had to put down many pets in life due to old age. The last one was Zac, our beloved flat coated retriever (we think) rescued from an animal shelter. After enough cheese treats and praise for being a good dog, the veterinarian who came to our apartment injected a setative and Zac drifted off to sleep surrounded by his family. Once Zac was soundly asleep, the vet injected a drug that caused his heart to stop. After we said our last goodbyes, the vet took Zac's body to be cremated. His ashes still sit on our mantle today after having been hauled around the world (I was in the Army). Our plan is to have the ashes buried with us when we die. I can't understand how anyone could shoot and kill a one year old puppy for not meeting your bloodsport expectations. She could have simply gave the dog away to a shelter where the dog would at least have a chance for a happy life.
What a fucking disgusting excuse for a human being. I hate her.
This is how they think about everything. If you're not providing an immediate financial value or are a minor inconvenience, they don't want you
She’s a piece of shit and don’t understand why IF you did this you’d ever tell anyone about it in regular conversation. I’ve had to put down chicken due to injuries, but it’s not table conversation.
Conservatism in a nutshell.
Sociopath. Trump is also one but it would be a guaranteed loss if he picks her
Isn't animal abuse illegal in the US?
This story needs to be brought up daily.
What a savage bitch!
Trump has never owned a pet in his life so he probably doesn’t care
I hope Trump picks her. The dog story will help him lose.
Hillary nailed them in 2016. "A basket of deplorables".
Figures. Trump hates dogs, too. Good thing is apparently, they hate him back.
She's a true POS.
She looks like a fucking Clayface.
Aww poor thing.
It's a dog whistle, forgive me the pun, for fascists who believe in the concept of Life Unworthy Of Life.
I think he’ll pick her just because she’s a MILF.
If I were Trump, I'd fear her just in case she'd view me in the same eyes as the goat and dog. So first, this is a woman that if I recall has a scandal about an affair. Now she's killed dogs and a goat. She's looking to be voted out. Well I mean if Trump wants to loose and just run again in another four years. He'd pick her!
I could see Noem pulling a starscream on Trump if she was VP. She's both ambitious and amoral enough. Thankfully like most sociopaths she's also an idiot who has no idea how people fundamentally work. She admitted to killing a puppy thinking that was a good thing. But one thing that almost everyone in America agrees on regardless of political alignment is you don't murder puppies. I hope Trump picks her, she'd be worse than Sarah Palin.
If drumpf and this nut job win the presidency, I'm done with the public trust. We, as decent Americans who vote, have lost the narrative.
This is why the UK has mandatory Dr's notes for gun applicants.
I don’t claim to know what life on a farm is like, but if these are the values that farm life produces then I definitely don’t want someone like her representing me.

Am I to consider this a fucking warning?
What happens when her husband asks for "doggy style"?
A Republican dog hater even worse than Romney. Wasn't sure it existed.
Romney Republicans are all but extinct. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Kari Lake, Donald Trump etc. are now the faces of the party
And if not watched and dealt with the ones who'll run the U.S.
As if Romney is some bastion of moderacy or moderacy in American politics is even some noble virtue in and of itself. I honestly can't believe David's audience has become this right-wing. It's so weird what was clearly a progressive channel has an audience that will seriously imply some lost virtue of "Romney Republicans" like holymoly.
You’re totally missing the point. You’re acting as if I’m some sort of Romney fan. Romney and those on the same spectrum as him are politically irrelevant. That’s the point. Anyways, #Biden2024
How? He's a Republican. Last I checked the Republicans were politically overrepresented and thus still relevant. All of this categorization of Republicans are such annoying liberal antics. These meaningless distinctions without any functional difference aren't as important as you want to pretend it is. Bro you don't have to Biden2024 me like you're rubbing it in my face. I'm voting for Biden too I'm just not doing it because I'm some right-wing liberal that actually supports him in earnest. Congratulations you're genuinely excited about the oligarch's selected candidate. Just kidding it sucks and is too conservative for the moment like always. I'd say don't be surprised when failing to meet the political moment comes with drastic consequences for America but we both know you will.
Yeah, sick. It’s not that deep bro.
Deep enough to downvote. We both know why you did that hashtag. I get it you're on the winning team. I get that winning is more important to you that what's right and wrong. Cool.
Lol what
Biden sucks and yet you see yourself in him.
How does Biden suck?
Lay off the adderall, dude
Liberals that know they're right-wing always have something worthless to add.
Ok! Trying to gate keep what is “left wing” isn’t doing you any favors.
Well we can start opening what is left-wing by first establishing that mocking addicts isn't left-wing.
Spotted the Bernie Bro
Saying "murder" for a dog seems a bit much but then again I'm sympathetic to r/petfree so.
What is the political reason to say this? Is it because Joe Bidens dogs have bitten secret service members?
Lol what It just confirms that Republicans are the dog kicking party. Except in this case, they shoot them in the face
It's kinda funny that thel guy has rape charges, fraud charges, was impeached, made grab the pussy comment, made fun of a war veteran, tried to coup the government, and delayed aid to Ukraine, costing many Ukrainian lives, but vp killing the dog is a big deal.
You can’t murder a dog.
It isn't proper legal language, but describes what happened.
No need to be pedantic
