Kyle Rittenhouse abruptly departed the stage during an appearance at the University of Memphis on Wednesday, after he was confronted about comments made by Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk.

Rittenhouse was invited by the college’s Turning Point USA chapter to speak at the campus. However, the event was met with backlash from a number of students who objected to Rittenhouse’s presence.

The 21-year-old gained notoriety in August 2020 when, at the age of 17, he shot and killed two men—Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, as well as injuring 26-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz—at a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

He said the three shootings, carried out with a semi-automatic AR-15-style firearm, were in self-defense. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest where the shootings took place was held after Jacob Blake, a Black man, was left paralyzed from the waist down after he was shot by a white police officer.

      It was thrown out by the biased piece of shit judge:

      Even legal eagle had to make a video defending the judge because of misinformation about this from people like you lmao:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxoYNpBMaCg

      You’re defending a fucking murderer.

      They are not a murderer, as much as that pains you. It is a fact. And I can tell you that if you actually watched the damn trial you would come to the same conclusion.

      Now onto the news article you linked:

      https://apnews.com/article/trials-f19acb6b4f1e4128610d2078105db1ce

      Read this carefully:

      Prosecutors say that the video shows Rittenhouse watching some men exiting a CVS store and then commenting that he wishes he had his rifle so he could shoot them. It was filmed 15 days before the Kenosha shootings.

      That was actually a looting, not just some people exiting a store lol, and yeah rittenhouse said that, it was thrown out because rittenhouse shot no looter. All the people he shot were people that were attacking him, and the one that started all of this was Rosenbaum himself who was going around insulting people and chasing rittenhouse who tried to flee from it.

      Yes it is possible that he went there to shoot a looters, but that did not happen, it is a simple fact.

              Couldnt even answer a simple question lmao. Maybe just maybe it is because you don’t like awnser.

              What a weird thing you picked that you are willing to lie and spread misinformation and hatred over.

              Seems like you don’t like how other people think and that makes them deserve to lose their rights, you are also defending a pedophile by your own logic kek.
