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.
I will never name my kid Kyle
Cafeful, this is a guy famous for killing when feeling threatened by unarmed people.
Iirc one of the people he shot was hitting him with a skateboard, the guy he shot who lived was pointing a gun at him
Not true, the first guy he shot was armed with a plastic bag.
Damn, theres apparently TWO people traumatized by plastic bags in this thread
Fuck this kid. He should be rotting in a jail cell - certainly not sauntering around giving speeches on uni campuses.

Yea, I bet he wished he could have illegally crossed state lines with a firearm he wasn’t legally allowed to have again to protect himself from these organized students
This joke gets extra dark when you realize he has another speaking engagement next month at Kent State University.
I still cant’ get past his forced cry at his trail, with the little side eye peek to see if they were watching.
Those students are lucky that piece of shit wasn’t strapped.
What happened to the car dealership that allowed an underage armed kid from out of state to guard their property? Did they quietly settle for a lot of money? That’s an angle of the story I want to know about.

Rittenhouse is a murderer!
That poor support dog. Rover probably be all “what did I do to be teathered to this removed?”
How many more stops are left? Or as I want to call them, comedic episodes.
I would also like to point out after Rittenhouse had murdered two people, he was photographed flashing a white power symbol wearing a “free as fuck” t-shirt with the Proud Boys.
There isn’t a doubt in my mind he went to that protest to murder.
At least he didn’t murder anyone in this confrontation.
He forgot to bring his rifle.
He forgot to borrow one.
Rittenhouse acting like a complete and utter coward. Gee, color me surprised.
Try not to shoot someone on your way to the parking lot.
He didnt really storm off the stage, and that critique would be simple to refute. The problem is that he is trying to use his famous to be a speaker, but he doesnt have that skill.
