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.

      What ban log? There is no such thing… there is a mod log. I have not been banned anywhere per the mod log. So, it seems you’re making things up.

      Also, when I look up your mod log entries, I actually see more removed comments and posts than myself, so I guess take your own advice?

        Sorry, okay yes.

        It’s a mod log that has entries in it when you’re banned or have comments removed. My bad for using the word ban.

        But regardless, the log exists.

            And the log says nothing about me being banned or evading bans, so you’re lying.

            I’m assuming the filtering is working correctly and Lemmy is showing all the entries that are related to your user id.

            If you have an issue with with how the mod log is filtered and displayed to users, I would suggest you go speak with the Lemmy mods.

                I’ll do one better. I’ll just delete some of my previous comments on the subject, as it’s not worth the time of day we are both putting into this.

                I’ll just assume at this point that Lemmy web mod filtering is problematic, if I’m seeing things in it you’re not.

                  That’s not better, I doubt Lemmy filtering is problematic. I think you filtered incorrectly at first and now can’t reproduce it.

        I saw that too, and decided Lemmy was correct in displaying them as such, and that they were comments linked in some way to your account. I can only assume that is correct, as I do not work with the Lemmy code.
