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 collegeās Turning Point USA chapter to speak at the campus. However, the event was met with backlash from a number of students who objected to Rittenhouseās presence.
The 21-year-old gained notoriety in August 2020 when, at the age of 17, heĀ shot and killed two menāJoseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, as well as injuring 26-year-old Gaige Grosskreutzāat a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
He said theĀ three shootings, carried out with a semi-automaticĀ AR-15-style firearm, were in self-defense. TheĀ Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest where the shootings took place was held afterĀ Jacob Blake, a Black man, was left paralyzed from the waist down after he was shot by a white police officer.
Everyone does that - unlike you, most people are also capable of progressing to conclusions from straightforward situations or answering simple questions.
This has strong neo-Nazi-style ājust asking questionsā energy. If youāre capable of drawing conclusions, own them. If youāre not, youāve got nothing to contribute here.
Do you mean baseless assumptions?
This is your reaction to me saying itās not surprising that a young adult is awkward and doesnāt handle unexpected confrontation well.
Edit: Most of this is way off topic in response to an entirely different dipshit.
No - I mean obvious conclusions - you know, like seeing HD footage of the IDF drone striking obvious unarmed civilians and concluding theyāre drone striking obvious unarmed civilians. Never mind the rhetoric of their government or the IDF, or the track record of either. Baseless is pretending itās plausible theyāre Hamas.Nope - this is in response to you seeing clear, entirely unambiguous evidence of warcrimes and saying we canāt possibly know whatās happening. I know how old I am, and some
genocide denyingdipshit telling me otherwise isnāt going to change that.Just to drive the point home, Iāll ask the question we know you canāt answer one final time - whereās your evidence these civilians are Hamas?Um I think youāre writing the wrong argument, this is about Rittenhouse
My mistake - Iāll return to the question you havenāt answered.
Do you consistently defend people that are clearly unqualified and incapable of doing their job as they fail woefully, or is this an edge case for you? I suppose that unlike most, the likes of Rittenhouse and Kirk arenāt doing anything of value - itās not as though theyāre performing surgery, driving a bus, or flipping burgers.
Iāll repeat what I said, I empathize with people. They are not just their utility. He is not famous for his speaking skills, but TPUSA are clearly trying to capitalize on them, whatever not my problem. Anyone who paid to see him knew what they were getting
Youāre empathising with the same thing the audience went to see - the extreme rightās posterchild for killing your political opponents. The analysis is super-straightforward and backed by studies - this is simply ignorant hate, fear, and disgust stoked by the likes of TPUSA. The fact that you canāt progress to synthesising straightforward conclusions is a massive red flag.
I will empathize with everyone. Itās not an optional thing for me.
Youāre very empathetic - thatās entirely unremarkable. One can empathise with Hitler - but only a mentally deficient or monstrous person would stop at empathy and be incapable of synthesising conclusions like he was a bad guy that did bad things. Itās like reading without comprehending.
Why canāt you advance past the insistence you empathise with Rittenhouse toward an opinion? Are you deficient or dodging?
