Kyle Rittenhouse Flees Stage After Face-Off With Booing Protesters

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.
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.

“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.

This is a rough one.  I can't imagine even considering what was done to that child.  Proof that not everyone should be a parent.

It's been announced that Princess Kate is undergoing treatment for cancer. Though not a big fan of the royal family, I hope the outcome is good for her. Dealing with cancer is rough and she has three young children to try to be there for.

Just out of being human I hope she has a full recovery and doesn't suffer too much from the chemo.

My current blessing is "May you have fewer problems than I've had."

It used to be "May you be in Heaven for an hour before the Devil knows you're dead." Not received well.

Multiple gunmen opened fire at a Moscow concert hall on Friday, leaving several people injured. The number of casualties is currently unknown.

Video footage from the Crocus City Hall music venue near Moscow shows at least three gunmen dressed in camouflage clothing firing automatic weapons. The Associated Press reported that assailants also threw explosives, creating a large fire.

Fifty ambulance crews were sent to the scene, as well as police and firefighters, Reuters reported, citing Russian news agencies.

In one video posted on social media, gunmen were filmed shooting at civilians near the hall’s entrance sign. Other footage showed multiple people lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

The AP cited the attack as the worst terror attack in Russia in two decades.

White House spokesperson John Kirby said the footage is “hard to watch,” but added there is no evidence that Ukrainians were involved in the attack.

Whether or not Ukraine is involved, Russia will surely accuse them of it.
