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.
This very thread is full of people saying that the judge was biased and lying with what actually happened.
edit: look no further that people are comparing the trial to OJ Simpson kek.
And those folks wouldnāt be commenting at all if he wasnāt paraded around like some āget away with murderā mascot. It was a massive and heinous childhood fuckup and heās giving speeches at colleges now like heās something one should aspire to be. Technicalities of the trial are not the real problem people have.
Bro all this crap started since day one, nothing is new here, all the parade and everything happened afterwards.
I think this is some russian bot propaganda thing, because it canāt be that the same lies from day one are still being repeated over and over, including the one that kyle shot black people.
