Black Lives Matter activists staged a protest Wednesday at a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at the University of Memphis featuring Kyle Rittenhouse. Protesters rushed at Rittenhouse supporters and could be heard chanting, “Kyle is a killer,” “Lock his a-s up,” and “F-ck his a-s up.”
Rittenhouse received nationwide attention after fatally shooting two protesters and injuring a third in self-defense during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Wisconsin. Rittenhouse, who was 17 years old at the time, was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, two charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, and first-degree reckless homicide. In 2021, a jury determined that Rittenhouse was “not guilty” of any of the charges brought against him.
