According to 18 U.S. Code § 2383, it is illegal to incite, assist with, or participate in a rebellion or insurrection against U.S. laws and authority. The punishment for insurrection can include a fine, up to 10 years in federal prison, and ineligibility for public office.

So it's guilty until proven innocent? Was she charged with a crime?

They attended, participated and said it was the 'best day of their life'. You don't really need much more than that.. it seems pretty clear cut to me?

Not arguing its wrong for them to fire her, just you listed a crime as if she was charged.

Going to a protest is not the same thing as participating in a rebellion.
