Kyle Rittenhouse storms off stage after being confronted by students
Rittenhouse's appearance at a university generated hostility from a number of students but he remained positive, saying it had been "a great event."
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Kid sees the downfall of society happening and tries to do something about it. He then defended himself when needed against 3 aggressors.
Got to respect the kid.
You are so right! He locked and loaded and drove 20 miles away from his front porch, and he didn't even need to get a hunting license, did he? Level with me, my fellow hunter, after he pulled that trigger and wiped two human lives out of existence forever, do you think that was the first time he ever maintained an erection longer than a couple of seconds?
What I don't understand, is why some people get hard thinking about other people's murder counts. Right, buddy? But yeah, respect!
Or the little twerp could've followed the law and not be out past curfew brandishing a firearm.
Only if everyone did.
