Protesters Clash Outside Kyle Rittenhouse Event - March 27. Kyle booed as he left





'It Has Everything to Do With Race': Protesters Clash Outside Kyle Rittenhouse Event

Demonstrators clashed at Western Kentucky University, in Bowling Green, on Wednesday, March 27, outside a student event hosting Kyle Rittenhouse, who famously shot and killed two people at a Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest in 2020. The university chapter of the conservative nonprofit Turning Point USA hosted the on-campus event, where Rittenhouse was set to speak “about the importance of the Second Amendment and the lies of BLM.” In 2020, Rittenhouse shot three people at a BLM protest in Wisconsin, killing two of them. He pleaded self-defense and was acquitted in 2021. Footage taken by Brendan Gutenschwager shows protesters outside the speech’s venue holding signs reading “Fascists Not Welcome in BG,” amid loud chanting and a heated exchange between two men, with one shouting, “It has nothing to do with race.” The other responds, “It has everything to do with race!"

These people were exercising their right to peacefully protest and Kyle used his 2nd Amendment right to kill their 1st Amendment right, permanently.

On edit: And fuck those 50 people that clapped during his intro. They didn't pull the trigger, but they admire him for doing what they haven't done, ....yet.
