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.
The Judge deemed a rifle above 15 inches was not a “Deadly Weapon” due to wild interpretation of the grammar of the state laws. He went to a protest with a military style rifle and shot people in two separate confrontations, killing 2 people. He is a murderer, it’s just been ruled that murdering political opponents was allowed in this case.
Hell he drove across state lines to get said protest. His whole purpose was to kill people he was itching to do so.
I am against killing people but if this little fucker was shot and killed I feel no remorse.
Holy shit people are still repeating the drove across state lines crap to this day lmao. That shit was actually mentioned in the trial and quickly fell thru when Rittenhouse mentioned that they worked as a paramedic in that very place and made the prosecutor look like an asshole lmao.
At least don’t spread misinformation my dude.
How stupid he 17 and no paramedic. And what paramedic is carrying around AR15? And yes he drove across state lines.
“I will apply medical assistance … with my AR15!”
My bad, not paramedic but lifeguard.
Oddly enough one of the people shot were indeed an EMT and they were also armed.
Because they worked on that town and he was there the day before the shooting, unlike the other people involved in the shooting which iirc never lived or worked there.
He was no where near that town and fucking life guard. Why are defending this murdering little fuck?
Because you’re spreading misinformation lol. Did you even watch the trial?
No judge acquitted him. It was a jury.
The Jury did not get to decide on the gun charges because the Judge threw out the charges hours before closing statements. Any sympathy for this boy should be gone after seeing him use his “fame” to advocate shooting your political opponents, this is his chosen career path for years now.
So not on a murder charge?
Do you think Rittenhouse crossed state lines with a military style rifle and walked the streets for hours pointing it at protestors before shooting three, killing 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum, of Kenosha, and 26-year-old Anthony Huber, of Silver Lake, Wisconsin…
but did not commit murder?
That did not happen… It was mentioned in the trial and everything, the gun was always in the same state, and rittenhouse was already for several days there as they worked there…
I wanna see the evidence of this. (EDIT: There isn’t any and they just made it the fuck up lmao)
That guy was caught on video threatening everyone before the shooting happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N70fok1R2Kg
This guy kicked either kicked rittenhouse in the head or hit him in the head with a skateboard lmao. AND rittenhouse tried to flee from him before so not like he even tried to stand his ground lmao.
It is really sad how people spread misinformation about the case, yes rIttenhouse is an idiot, but you’re just blatantly lying at this point.
edit: And for the people that keep spreading the lie that the judge was biased, please watch this legal eagle video;

There’s video of that piece of shit saying he wanted to shoot people. It was thrown out by the biased piece of shit judge:

You’re defending a fucking murderer.
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
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:
Read this carefully:
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.
You’re defending a murderer. End of argument.
It was mentioned by Rittenhouse in his own testimony, of course he would blatantly admit to breaking the laws while on trial unless there were evidence either way.
Are you high? Where do you think he was when these multiple confrontations started? He wasn’t brawling people on rooftops or inside of businesses, idiot.
Show the fucking video of rittenhouse walking for hours pointing his gun to multiple people like you just said.
The only video we have before the confrontation is this one that shows rosenbaum threatening other people.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N70fok1R2Kg
edit: Also the other person that rittenhouse shot pointed a pistol in his face first, it was also caught on video, what is worse is that they even admitted in the FUCKING TRIAL THAT HE POINTED HIS GUN at rittenhouse. This lead to a famous facepalm by one of the prosecutors lol.
Bro wouldn’t convict Rittenhouse without a gopro recording of his entire day lmao
Do I think he’s an idiot for doing so? Absolutely. Do I think those actions you listed in and of themselves revoke any claim he has to self defense? Absolutely not.
He literally travelled there with a loaded murder-rifle to point it at people and kill them. That’s not defence. Nothing about that is defence. It’s literally offence, he went there from out of state just to do that.
He claims he was there to protect businesses and help injured people. To claim he went there to kill people is literally just fabricated.
No one asked him to defend their business.
Why wasn’t he up on top of those businesses like his friends? Why was he roaming the streets looking for smoke?

If they had shot him first, would they be the ones defending themselves from him?

Depends on the context, I guess.
The context was already there for you:
Are you mostly mad because he killed a pedo?
Quick hypothetical for you:
John shoots and kills Frank. They had never met each other and John did not know that Frank has a history of abusing children. John claims it was self-defense.
Was the shooting justified?
Yes, because frank in this case was chasing John and tried to get his gun. Also frank was already caught on video threatening people lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N70fok1R2Kg
There is not enough information. If you add the fact that Frank was chasing after John and trying to grab his gun, then yes it would be justified.
The whole point is that people here seem to be defaulting to the racist pedo that was chasing after the minor. I dont get it out of ideologically you are forced to defend the guy on your team even if they spent years in prison for one of the worst crimes.
Could have been anyone.
A racist pedo runs at a minor and gets killed and you are mad… Not really seeing how your stance is defendable.
Lmao, imagine thinking people who murder BLM protestors are fighting against racism. You’re too far gone, mate.
I didnt say he was fighting against racism, I said one of the people you are defending was a racist pedo that spent years in prison and was in the process of attacking another minor, and you are defending them. Why are you so strongly defending that person?
@CableMonster believes he should decide who lives and dies, probably deserves to be on a watchlist as a potential mass murderer.
You are the one that wanted the racist pedo to attack the minor, I am saying he should defend himself. Would it have been a better outcome of instead of the pedo dying he raped another minor or murdered a minor? Which one?
Murdered a minor who instead shot and murdered two people as was his plan, or even better still Kyle should have stayed the fuck home and not committed multiple homicide over his political beliefs that black lives in fact did not matter. Did you really think I was going to sit here and tell you one murder was worse than multiple murders?
Is that material at all?
Sure, it puts into context the attitude of the first individual he killed. People dont really seem to care about how he chased down and tried to grab the gun of a minor, so the next best part is to point out how he was a criminal that was again trying to harm a minor, for at least the 6th time.
