Kyle Rittenhouse storms off stage after being confronted by students - eviltoast

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.

    crossed state lines with a military style rifle

    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…

    walked the streets for hours pointing it at protestors

    I wanna see the evidence of this. (EDIT: There isn’t any and they just made it the fuck up lmao)

    killing 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum

    That guy was caught on video threatening everyone before the shooting happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N70fok1R2Kg

    26-year-old Anthony Huber

    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;

        It was thrown out by the biased piece of shit judge:

        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

        You’re defending a fucking murderer.

        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:

        https://apnews.com/article/trials-f19acb6b4f1e4128610d2078105db1ce

        Read this carefully:

        Prosecutors say that the video shows Rittenhouse watching some men exiting a CVS store and then commenting that he wishes he had his rifle so he could shoot them. It was filmed 15 days before the Kenosha shootings.

        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.

                Couldnt even answer a simple question lmao. Maybe just maybe it is because you don’t like awnser.

                What a weird thing you picked that you are willing to lie and spread misinformation and hatred over.

                Seems like you don’t like how other people think and that makes them deserve to lose their rights, you are also defending a pedophile by your own logic kek.

      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.

      I wanna see the evidence of this.

      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.

            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.

              At least edit your comment to remove that blatant lie that Rittenhouse was protecting property.
