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 collegeās Turning Point USA chapter to speak at the campus. However, the event was met with backlash from a number of students who objected to Rittenhouseās presence.
The 21-year-old gained notoriety in August 2020 when, at the age of 17, heĀ shot and killed two menāJoseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, as well as injuring 26-year-old Gaige Grosskreutzāat a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
He said theĀ three shootings, carried out with a semi-automaticĀ AR-15-style firearm, were in self-defense. TheĀ Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest where the shootings took place was held afterĀ Jacob Blake, a Black man, was left paralyzed from the waist down after he was shot by a white police officer.
@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?
Let me get this straight, you would rather one minor die, than have the two attackers (one pedo, one domestic violence) survive? Thats pretty tellingā¦
I am going to take the pro-minor anti-racist pedo stance. I guess you are picking the pro-pedo sideā¦
Stfu, pedo
