Kyle Rittenhouse storms off stage after being confronted by students
Rittenhouse's appearance at a university generated hostility from a number of students but he remained positive, saying it had been "a great event."
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.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Do you think Rittenhouse crossed state lines with a military style rifle and walked the streets for hours pointing it at protestors before shooting three, killing 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum, of Kenosha, and 26-year-old Anthony Huber, of Silver Lake, Wisconsin...
but did not commit murder?
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;
There’s video of that piece of shit saying he wanted to shoot people. It was thrown out by the biased piece of shit judge:

You’re defending a fucking murderer.
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.
You’re defending a murderer. End of argument.
Is legal eagle also defending a murderer btw?
You’re defending a murderer. Maybe stop it.
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.
You’re defending a murderer. Stop it.
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…
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.
Where do you think he was when these multiple confrontations started?
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.

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.
Bro wouldn't convict Rittenhouse without a gopro recording of his entire day lmao
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.
Never said that...
I don't know why you know feel to make lies about me now, did I struck a nerve or something?
Do I think he's an idiot for doing so? Absolutely. Do I think those actions you listed in and of themselves revoke any claim he has to self defense? Absolutely not.
He literally travelled there with a loaded murder-rifle to point it at people and kill them. That's not defence. Nothing about that is defence. It's literally offence, he went there from out of state just to do that.
He literally travelled there with a loaded murder-rifle to point it at people and kill them.
He claims he was there to protect businesses and help injured people. To claim he went there to kill people is literally just fabricated.
No one asked him to defend their business.
Which has literally absolutely nothing to do with point.
So you're cool with armed vigilantes wandering around and deciding when someone needs to be shot?
No
Why wasn't he up on top of those businesses like his friends? Why was he roaming the streets looking for smoke?
Whether I can answer these questions has no bearing on if your claim that he was there to kill people is true, so I'm not sure why you're asking them.
What a fucking weird hill to die on that You've chosen.
Maybe your little piss baby rittenhouse can help you with that 😆😆
I think he's a huge idiot. If you think he's my boy, it's because you aren't very bright and can't think beyond black and white.
Me, the "not very bright one" is calling you out for being a blind fool.
How does it feel to give up on reality?
The only one actually making an argument here is me. The other just made up some bs claim that I know is wrong because it's about me. It's clear who is comfortable in reality.

And this is something every lawyer will tell you is reasonable btw.
Interesting. Any more context of this video? Although let's me clear, this is him saying he wanted to shoot someone for an unknown reason. Not him saying he wanted to go to Kenosha to shoot people.
The video wasn't allowed because rittenhouse shot no looter, legal eagle explains it here:
The point is that he WANTED to kill people that weren’t a threat. Looting is not a punishment by vigilante murderer offense.
Nobody he killed was doing any looting. So whats the point? He deserves jail sentence for something he didnt do?
Had he opened fire on people that were looting, the trial would have been a totally different thing, they simply attacked him for holding a weapon which is insanely stupid and you are mad that he defended himself lmao.
You’re defending a murderer. Stop it.
I'll watch the video when I get a chance, can't right now at work.
But I did want to say I appreciate you actually providing stuff respectfully instead of just attacking and misrepresenting my position.
Yeah it is crazy how misinformation spreads, if you actually go back on reddit and check /r/news the day the ruling happened everybody pretty much knew that was going to be the result because of how much of a shitshow the trial was and that the prosecution had nothing in their case.
But yeah the fact that people still spread blatant lies like "he drove across state lines with the rifle" is very chilling.
It's the same thing with the Zimmerman/Martin. The facts don't matter, just the narrative the originally caught on. Any deviation from this is met with derision. And I'm not saying one side only, I've been attacked by both the people who think Rittenhouse is completely innocent saint that is the victim of biased system, and those who think he is a cold blooded murderer that went there that day with the intent of murdering people. No room for nuance.
walked the streets for hours pointing it at protestors
If they had shot him first, would they be the ones defending themselves from him?
No.
Depends on the context, I guess.
The context was already there for you:
walked the streets for hours pointing [a rifle] at protestors
Rittenhouse fired at some who admitted on the stand to pointing the gun at him first. Unless you have evidence that he's actually walking around pointing his gun at people without provocation, you are ironically actually defending him.
