A crybaby made an appearance at the University of Memphis, in a talk sponsored by Turning Point USA, that despicable organization. A good-sized group of students showed up, not to cheer Kyle Rittenhouse on, but to roast him. Kyle couldn’t take it — it was all just questions and booing — and he turned tail and ran.
Kyle Rittenhouse, who became a darling of the right after shooting three protesters in 2020, hightailed it off a stage at the University of Memphis on Wednesday night as a crowd of demonstrators booed him.
Video from the event showed several protesters in black T-shirts in attendance. One of them stood up and questioned Rittenhouse about Charlie Kirk, the far-right conservative activist whose youth organization, Turning Point U.S.A., sponsored Rittenhouse’s appearance.
They grilled him on his good buddy, Charlie Kirk, pointing out that he was a racist, and like the dumbest straight man in the universe, Rittenhouse asked him to elaborate, and even said that he was going to “dialogue” about it.
When the protester alleged that Kirk has “said a lot of racist things,” Rittenhouse immediately grew defensive.
“Like what? What racist things has Charlie Kirk said?” he fired back from the podium. “We’re gonna have a bit of a dialogue of what racist things Charlie Kirk said.”
The protester was unfazed.
“He says that we shouldn’t celebrate Juneteenth, we shouldn’t celebrate Martin Luther King Day—we should be working those days. He called Ketanji Brown Jackson an affirmative action hire, he said all this nonsense about George Floyd, and he said he’d be scared if a Black pilot was on a plane. Does that not seem racist?”
“I don’t know anything about that,” Rittenhouse said, prompting jeers from the room.
Why propose a dialogue on a subject you know nothing about? It did not go well for him — although the dialogue turned out to be very brief.
“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.
Yes! That’s how all these scumbags should be treated at every event — make them cower behind nice safe audiences, dreading the appearance of a single naysayer.

It is indeed a generally good policy to give your enemy every opportunity to humiliate himself. Don’t let your opponent whine about how he’s being cancelled by the nasty woke lefties, by doing something that gets the event called off. Just turn up and let everyone see that all you are doing is politely telling the truth.

I’d like to know what did the people who sponsored him hope to accomplish by having him speak to college students? What does he have to say to them? What information does he have to impart to them about how to live their lives? What did he think was going to happen? Did he think they would congratulate him? Fanboy over him and blow smoke up his butt the way the Kirk’s of the world have been doing?
He needs to go somewhere and sit down.

Here’s a head-scratcher for the pro-gun crowd:
Judge rules illegal immigrants have gun rights protected by 2nd Amendment

Some actually have principles even if they’re likely broadly shit principles.

I read a couple of days ago that TPUSA* is planning a similar Rittenhouse fluffing event at Kent State, just a few days before the 55th anniversary of the murders of protesters. You’d think that Killer Kyle would be rethinking his life choices by now. But that would take something resembling self awareness.
TP stands for toilet paper, right?

And every so often, there’s some good news in America’s continuing race war, this is from Mississippi no less: “Fifth and sixth ex-officers sentenced to federal prison in ‘Goon Squad’ case”. One of these two got 10 years, the other one got 27 years. The four already sentenced got similar sentences, one getting 40 years.

As Jim Wright has said many times when commenting on U.S. conservatives on various social media platforms, “These people have no more self-awareness than a dog licking its asshole in the middle of a public sidewalk.”

Seriously he got away with murdering people and still hasn’t dealt with that. The kid needs to get rid of the security blanket of the extreme right and get some serious help before he kills himself or worse still murders yet more people. I can seriously seeing turning up with his AR-penis extension to a school somewhere and if he does the gun-fondlers will blame it on the teachers not being armed.

1. Recruitment for shit bag fascism
2. To create an incident where they can whine about “woke” and “cancel culture” on Fox, or whatever.

And if there is some pop star he is disappointed with, I can see a meeting ending like with John Lennon.

No, silly, they’ll blame it on the teachers (and students) being Woke. (And if any of those Woke teachers are armed, they’ll use that fact to sell more guns — ‘cuz WE GOTTA FIGHT THE ARMED WOKE TEACHERS OR THEY’LL DESTROY AMERICA!!!
birgerjohansson says
In defence of Doctor Lecter, he did not kill more people that he could eat.
When you are worse than him, you should seiously reconsider your life.

I have never met a right-winger–even the “sane” and “reasonable” mainstream conservatives–who pop an immediate erection and call it “a good start.”

EDIT, Let me try that last again.
I have never met a right-winger–even the “sane” and “reasonable” mainstream conservatives–who didn’t call the Kent State shootings a “good start” and pop an immediate erection. .

I had to look it up again.
Kyle Rittenhouse is famous for killing two unarmed persons and wounding another.
And then beating the rap in a jury trial.
Other than that, I can’t see any worthwhile accomplishments.
He dropped out of high school and apparently never went back to finish up his high school diploma.
He has not yet killed anyone else. That we know of.
StevoR says
@ ^ raven : Rittenhouse is also a racist who deliberately went out to kill Black Lives Matter protesters. He had no business being where he was when he murdered two people and attempted to murder a third.
@2.lakitha tolbert : “He needs to go somewhere and sit down.”
Jail. Rittenhouse needs to be in jail.
