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.
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.
Is legal eagle also defending a murderer btw?
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.

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
Hey at least edit your comment and remove that blatant lie you still have there saying that rittenhouse pointed his gun at multiple people.
You gain nothing by lying so blatantly my dude, or by making fun of me for asking for evidence of such lie…
And yeah I would not convict people without evidence kek.
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.
Which has literally absolutely nothing to do with point.
Why wasn’t he up on top of those businesses like his friends? Why was he roaming the streets looking for smoke?
Whether I can answer these questions has no bearing on if your claim that he was there to kill people is true, so I’m not sure why you’re asking them.

And this is something every lawyer will tell you is reasonable btw.
Interesting. Any more context of this video? Although let’s me clear, this is him saying he wanted to shoot someone for an unknown reason. Not him saying he wanted to go to Kenosha to shoot people.
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:
Rittenhouse fired at some who admitted on the stand to pointing the gun at him first. Unless you have evidence that he’s actually walking around pointing his gun at people without provocation, you are ironically actually defending him.
