University of Memphis Accused of Sabotaging Rittenhouse Speech
Todd Starnes ^ | March 20, 2024 | SMG News Wire

Posted on 03/20/2024 7:02:18 PM PDT by packagingguy

The University of Memphis is facing national outrage from conservatives over allegations they colluded with radical activist groups to sabotage a campus speech by Kyle Rittenhouse.

Some are calling for a state investigation of university administrators accused of strong-arming Turning Point USA student leaders. Others are demanding that the university face legal action.

University official stood down and allowed students to disrupt Rittenhouse’s remarks during an event sponsored by the campus Turning Point USA chapter...

Kirk also accused the university of sabotaging the event. Just hours before, the university rescinded thousands of tickets. TPUSA says that decision resulted in hundreds of people being denied access to the speech.

“Most shockingly, we have gathered credible information that school administrators have leaked the new ticketing information to protester groups so they can reserve large numbers of newly issued tickets and sabotage the event,” Turning Point said in a statement. “We know this because some of our students are in the protester group chats. There is no way these groups could have known the new ticketing timing and protocol without school administrators leaking that information. This has never happened before at a TPUSA campus event.”

So the University of Mogadishu on the Mississippi early this morning issued a statement that people who wanted to attend a TPUSA sponsored speech by Kyle Rittenhouse had to get new tickets.

The administration gave no reason, just that the original tickets weren't good anymore.

So suddenly a lot of left wing activists got tickets, disrupted the speech, and the university did nothing.

You don't belong in Memphis if you know what's best for you. If you have to drive through on I-40 or I-55 fuel up and use the restroom in Arkansas, Mississippi or a Tennessee county outside of Memphis.

Lock your doors, keep up with traffic no matter how fast it goes and don't look at anyone.

And for heavens sake don't send your 18 year old to college in Memphis.

Same story unfolding at Kent State University. So far, the university defends his appearance.

The U of M Law School is a political cesspool. They meddle in everything related to the university and the city government. The U is where political hacks get appointed for no-show jobs.

“You don’t belong in Memphis if you know what’s best for you. If you have to drive through on I-40 or I-55 fuel up and use the restroom in Arkansas, Mississippi or a Tennessee county outside of Memphis.

“Lock your doors, keep up with traffic no matter how fast it goes and don’t look at anyone.

“And for heavens sake don’t send your 18 year old to college in Memphis.”

Very sound advice for those who want to stay above ground as long as possible.

This sort of crap has been going on with conservative speakers for 2 decades, maybe more. Until there is real pain caused to the universities, it will not stop.

There’s a Remington 11-87 under my bed loaded with 6+1 rounds of buckshot.

I’ve witnessed two murders so far.

And I’m in the best part of town.

You’d think KSU would be more sensitive to a person nearly being wrongfully killed. But that was a lifetime ago...

One look at the demographics of those that are protesting Rittenhouse should tell you who and what the enemy is. I worked the Fireman’s Riots in Memphis back in 78’ and saw what was there before they had dominant numbers of population after Willie “Hump” Harrington was elected. Memphis is a cesspool now that has insight on how a city once managed or directed toward a specific population becomes.

Rittenhouse needs to be more vocal. Don’t back down. He can take a lower profile when Trump wins.

Kyle is a hero. Too bad he didn’t have the AR with him tonight.

The fact these ‘students’ are allowed to behave like petulant children demonstrates the low expectations from blacks by the college. The behavior in the video shows the complete worthless degree they’re going into debt for wasn’t worth it. Went in stupid and came out stupid.

“Same story unfolding at Kent State University. So far, the university defends his appearance.”

I’m glad to hear that. My daughter will be attending Kent next year and we were on Campus last week for an orientation. When lunch started, (very tasty and nutritious by the way), a group of about 3-5 fully-face covered blacks walked in and went from table to table tossing fliers that read:

“Racism at Kent!” with a statement following about Kyle Rittenhouse speaking at the University and calling him a racist murderer.

It was at the very beginning of the luncheon and Kent State staff collected the fliers before most anyone had an opportunity to see them.

For my part, I wished I had grabbed one of the fliers for posterity.

I was just a boy then. I remember hearing about those riots as we came back from cub scout camp,

It would be interesting to be older. Memphis was once a fun place but I was just a baby then....

It’s called the Kenosha hat trick.
