Like the coward he is, Kyle Rittenhouse stormed off stage. I’m proud of the Univeristy of Memphis students who organized resistance tonight, as well as the Black Student Association, the U of M NAACP, alums, and faculty who spoke out. I am not proud of

It never gets old.

"Video from Rittenhouse’s appearance shared on X showed the gun rights advocate shut down when asked about TPUSA’s CEO Charlie Kirk’s history of race-baiting comments.

The questioner listed some of Kirk’s comments, reminding people how the vanguard of the young MAGA movement denounced Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, called Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson an affirmative action hire, and, most recently, said he doubts the qualifications of Black airplane pilots.


The audience erupted in boos while the voice behind the video shouted, “It’s a yes or no question, Kyle!”

Pressing him for an answer, the original questioner asked Rittenhouse, “After all the things I just told you, would you consider that hate speech?”

“I’m not going to comment on that,” he replied, prompting the audience to shout him down.

“Deflection!” the person behind the camera yelled repeatedly.

Unwilling to endure the backlash, Rittenhouse threw a hand up and walked offstage, turning protesters’ heckling into cheers.'

 

Who cares about a worthless little twerp like Kyle Rittenhouse?

"I'm not sure how people expected this to go. He is not a bright guy. He is not well spoken. Did they assume it would only be fans of their little hate group that would be in attendance?
You can't let a dope do a Q&A. it only ends badly."

Juneteenth is a worthless holiday that’s not inclusive, MLK was a homophobic abuser of women, KBJ is diversity hire, and the comment about black pilots is mischaracterized to make that comment sound bad. If KR started talking how oppressive white people are, how racist they are and so on, I’ll bet you and those college students would not say that’s racist, instead you’d applaud.

 

Ahh, so sad to see a grifting failure.

Feb 21, 2022 — Rittenhouse says 'The Media Accountability Project' will be a fundraising tool to take media outlets to court.

Never launched

The Media Accountability Project was a project announced by Kyle Rittenhouse. Accordingly to him, it was meant to hold accountable bad faith media activists, and to help independent journalists. It never went anywhere past the announcement stage."

 

The people who showed up to heckle him obviously care about him, as do the keyboard warriors online who constantly post sick fantasies about wanting to see him dead or physically abused. If those people would just bugger off, we wouldn't even hear anything about him anymore.

 

I don't know what causes the woke left to hate him so much
was it because he killed a couple of felons who support BLM
or is it because he used a rifle to defend himself from scum
or was it because Joe Biden defamed him

 

plenty of people around him were safe when he was packing, he only shot people who clearly threatened him with imminent bodily harm

 

so you approve of preventing people you don't agree with from being able to speak publicly?

 

An evened-out thing. Kyle people wanting to make money off the people going to see him over the protest people getting money from the protesters. I have to believe the protest organizers made the most money.

 

He'll probably boast that he was able to singlehandedly murder almost as many protesters as the whole national guard did there in 1970.

 

He was a minor with an illegal firearm. The sheriff stated he didn't want any citizen involvement with law enforcement. Rittenhouse shouldn't have even been there, much less sporting an illegal firearm.

 

None of which ( if indeed it was illegal....) takes away his right to legitimate self-defense when his life is in danger.

And the sheriff can State whatever he wants, unless he has the law backing him he just a private person expressing an opinion

 

I watched the video and in fairness he wasn't going to get a word in there. The stupidity is picking any audience other than a closed right-wing MAGA event.

 

They were DEFINITELY in self defense. Proven so. On video no less. Even Grosskreutz (the guy who Kyle wounded) admitted as much.

Kyle is hardly a child. Not then and certainly not now. This young man is VERY proficient with a rifle. I've grown up, like many Americans, with weapons and trained extensively in other less sporting activities. I've watched the video many times, even in slo-mo. One of the things I've not heard anyone discuss (not even at the trial) was an overlooked split-second movement Kyle had to make. It was truly remarkable even for those with special forces and spec-ops training. This guy is much better with a rifle than most not in-the-know realize.

If you watch the video repeatedly right before he wounds Grosskreutz (GG) several things happen in quick succession the layman won't pick up on. The AR-15 he was using is one of a group of AR-15 STYLE rifles which features a Forward Assist and a Bolt Catch (with Bolt Catch Release Lever). The Bolt Catch has a dual function sometimes referred to as Jam Release (or JR) depending on what it is used for. The Bolt Catch holds the bolt back after the last round in a magazine is fired. See the video link below. This precludes the gunner from having to pull the bolt back after inserting a new filled magazine (saves reload time dramatically). Reloading a new magazine you need only insert the magazine, then smack the Bolt Release Lever with the bony base of the left hand and wrist. This releases the bolt forward, loading the first round from the new magazine. In the event a spent cartridge case fails to be ejected from the chamber properly, the bolt will come forward and be stopped by this same Bolt Catch. The magazine isn't empty, but the Bolt Catch engagement "resembles" an empty magazine bolt catch. When this occurs you can perform the same Bolt Catch Release motion and often (very often) clear the jam. You might have to slap the Bolt Catch Release pretty firmly, but it will bump the bolt back enough to remove pressure from the jammed cartridge case and once again attempt to eject the spent cartridge case out of the chamber. It won't work on ALL jams, but often will. The Forward Assist can correct other potential cartridge loading issues. The link below is a good animation of AR-15 style mechanisms.



With this understood, when a jam occurs it often takes the less accustomed gunner a moment to realize a cartridge has jammed. This is apparent by whether a cartridge was seen to eject, but more often by noting the number of rounds expended from the magazine. If you recently replaced the magazine and only fired half the rounds it is clear a jam has occurred. To be sure you roll the rifle left to inspect the chamber for a spent cartridge casing. If so you then roll right and smack the Bolt Catch Release Lever (now a Jam Release) and the cartridge casing will often eject. To save time, in combat, you can forego the double roll and just assume there is a cartridge jam, slapping the Bolt Catch Release (Jam Release) hard and continue to fire. If the jam is due to a live round it sometimes still works (ejecting a live round), otherwise you need to hit the Forward Assist to force it completely into the chamber.

There is a way to actually practice these two manuevers with spent cartridge cases and full rounds by manually inserting them into the chamber to simulate a jam. Practice makes perfect and in combat the speed with which the jam is recognized and cleared can be vital to survival depending on the need for speed. On the video you can slo-mo the frames and see what transpired. Kyle was knocked to the ground and some skateboarder tried to strike him in the head with his board. KR rolled, dodged and fired a fatal shot. Followed immediately by a black guy jumping at KR while kicking. Kyle fired once again and missed. This resulted in a jam. GG approached in quick succession and pointed his 32 directly at Kyle preparing to fire (admitted during testimony and clear on the video). Kyle aimed at GG causing GG to reassess his decision to fire. As GG began to clear his aim in submission KR pulled his trigger which didn't fire due to the jam. GG (seeing KR was jammed) returned aim intending to fire on a now disarmed KR. Before he could even get a round off KR smacked the Jam Release (clearing the jam) and fired with blistering speed striking GG in the elbow before he could pull the trigger. GG testified to this exact sequence of thought process on the stand. On the video this happens in the blink of an eye and you can see the jammed cartridge eject if you look closely. I was shocked and quite impressed when I examined it frame by frame. The point is, KR is no novice with a rifle. His skills definitely made the difference and saved his life.

 

He was boo'ed for not answering the questions about Charlie Kirk's racist comments, and rightly so.

 

Kyle must think everyone's as stupid and gullible as he is to believe his pathetic right-wing B.S.
What is "hilarious" is that his "hilarious" stupidity is on full display.

"What I find hilarious is that everyone is saying I was ‘chased’ out of Memphis, when in reality, we went to this restaurant called Huey’s, grabbed some food, and nobody seemed to care or notice.

No one forced me to leave the stage… The event was scheduled for 30 minutes and I was on stage for 30 minutes

what was it, a how to get away with killing tour... did they invite OJ? What were they discussing?

 

because someone is running around with an ar-15 and people think they are a mass shooter

had he not shot someone with an ar-15 first, you think the wannabe heroes would have chased him down?

 

I'm familiar with the incident.

"Which came first: the chicken or the egg?"

The courts have spoken, and that's the end of that.

Anyway, this thread wasn't about the incident, it's about what happened yesterday, - which doesn't seem like much of a story IMHO

 

A fantasy that never occurred

 

what part?

 

it's a lot like with OJ, neither were found guilty, but when they write books or give speeches, people remember

 

With OJ, no one knows with 100% certainty what happened, but with KR, it was all on tape, so the jury was able to make their decision based on the footage. I agree both are marked men for the rest of their lives because lot of people believe they are guilty regardless of the court ruling.
