    Oh, looks like he is not so tough without a carbine in his hands.


    Recent child who ran around with a gun and shot people was speaking at a right wing event at a college, and ran away from mean words.

    Rittenhouse, also famous for his quivering lip on the stand, is somehow a voice among the right wing for his feats as a child. Not sure why anyone thinks this man-child has anything to say that would be thought provoking.

    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.

    Aww. Poor snowflake

    He had an event close by and the ticket numbers in my very conservative town were “lower than anticipated”.

    Looks like only the most extreme of the already extreme maga’s care about his grift.

    He should stick with his echo chamber

    Rittenhouse is a blithering idiot grifter .

    WTF were those 2 dogs doing on stage?
    Was Jim Crow the next speaker? lol

    Hey Kyle,
    You forgot the "dialogue" part before you ran off the stage. :roflol:

    "What racist things has Charlie Kirk said?" Rittenhouse challenged. "We're gonna have a little bit of a dialogue of what racist things that Charlie Kirk said."

    Why do people pay to see, or even go to see, people they don't want to see? Is it because their lives are so pathetic and miserable that the only joy they get is trying to drag someone down? This fascist behavior almost always comes from the left - yeah, maybe it happened once or twice with cons, but it's almost always libs who want to cancel people.

    Now here's the thing, people can yell stuff at Kyle and the left thinks that's just great, but say two words at the State Of The Union speech and you get arrested.

    Rittenhouse is not a public speaker, not sure why anyone would ask him to do so. I read the article where he didn't want to speak about some of the controversial people that he is sometimes associated with, from there, it just got worse.

    People around him are safe as long as he is not packing.

    So the only way the pansy knows how to defend himself is with shooting others.
    Sad comment about a so-called "toughie" LOL
    He is a coward, first-class.

    Too funny!
    In reality Kyle's BS is more humiliation for the little ****ing fool who thinks he's a big man for killing 2 men and wounding another.


    "Following the event, Rittenhouse posted a video on X, saying,

    “Great event! I think it’s funny that a lot of the media is saying that we got booed off stage. In reality we did a hard cut off time and just happened to leave at that.” :roflol:

    This kid is a towering figure in maga world. Not surprising for a group that worships a lying, seditious criminal as their messiah.

    Yeah because nary a RWer posts and complains about anything and everything that upsets them and makes the most petty of issues a political one.

    From comments:

    "That his handlers & the far right think he is their cash cow speaks volumes.

    The boy has the intellectual grasp and the maturity of a poor performing 8th grader and will be out witted by anyone on any U or Jr College campus because he is devoid of any critical thinking skills.

    He is being exploited and no one cares enough about him to tell him the truth."

    Um....yes, because protesting inside the Capitol / disrupting Congressional function is actually against the law.

    Conversely, neither Joe Biden not Obama went running away went someone yelled at them.

    The same could be said for drag queen shows, but yet you don't complain about that. Or the "cancelling of Bud Light".
    Seems like both extremes are employing the cancel culture attitude. I would say that it's been a little worse on the conservative side in the last few years, and I suspect it's being driven by political leaders.

    I didn’t realize that you are now including a made up definition of totalitarianism in you sig. I know it’s fake, because it’s grammatically incorrect.

    But Trump wants to be a totalitarian. He has said so, repeatedly. His allies want him to evoke the Insurrection Act and make himself permanent dicator.

    And you’re a big supporter!

    Give me a Freakin' Break!
    Trying to draw an "equivalency" between an appearance of a Partisan Joke like Rittenhouse and the SOTU?
    That is beyond misguided...:bored:
    Or, was that a joke?
    Btw, a little early for April Fool's...:bored:
    And, back to Kyle--What a Pansy...
    “After all the things I just told you, would you consider that hate speech?” the protester asked.
    “I’m not gonna comment on that,” Rittenhouse answered, as the room once again erupted in boos. Rittenhouse waited on stage for a beat, but stormed off after he was approached by one of the event’s organizers. He did not look back or make any other comments as he left the stage.
    The boos turned to cheers as he walked off.

    I would venture to say they are perfectly safe as long as someone is not chasing him down trying to bash his head in with a skateboard or pointing a pistol at him and evidently a jury of his peers agreed

    I can't speak for certain but I'm pretty sure the actual cost to get in was, like trump's rallies, ZERO!
