His actions were legal and heroic. I believe it would send a strong signal that TAMU is not going to crater to woke pressure
How do you know? Kid was a good student in HS, did a lot of volunteer work with the police and fire department, was a lifeguard at a municipal pool, cleaned up graffiti at a school that had been vandalized by BLM and Antifa and was going around helping people who got injured or dehydrated that night, irrespective of their views.Tejas Ag 10 said:
Our acceptance standards are a joke. Politics aside he does not have the credentials to get in to A&M.

Is there actually any proof anywhere he even got accepted? He would be an out of state transfer and the standards for those admits are extremely high, much higher than most Texans who are auto admit just because they're in the top 10% of their high school graduating class.

Do you think they still believe Kyle killed Black guys that night and that's the source of their hand-wringing?FriscoKid said:
The "hand wringing" by very concerned Aggies in this thread is so freaking entertaining. Almost none of them frequent the politics board.

How stupid! Kyle had one Black attacker that night, Jumpkick Man.. He kicked Kyle in the head, Kyle shot but missed him. BTW, the prosecution knew all along who Jumpkick Man was but hid that from the defense.FriscoKid said:aggiehawg said:Do you think they still believe Kyle killed Black guys that night and that's the source of their hand-wringing?FriscoKid said:

Yes and if KR attends TAMU then it will kill recruiting.
That still pisses me off. I'm glad Kyle was found not guilty, but that judge could have sanctioned those prosecutors and declared mistrial with prejudice.aggiehawg said:
There are other judges getting mad in this but several of them are Judge Schroeder screaming at Binger and Krauss for prosecutorial misconduct. bordering on mandatory mistrial.

Kyle Rittenhouse has hired the lawyer who represented Covington Catholic student Nicholas Sandmann during his defamation cases to take on some high profile companies and figures.
One potential target will be Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to his lawyer Todd McMurtry.
"I've been hired to head the effort to determine whom to sue, when to sue, where to sue," McMurtry told Fox News Digital. "We're going to look at everything that's been said, determine which of those comments are legally actionable and proceed from there."
McMurtry said it's "pretty much assured that there's probably 10 to 15 solid" cases against "large defendants."
Quote:
According to Fox, McMurty said that Zuckerberg will be a major target over "a 'factually false' designation on the platform that listed the Kenosha shootings as a 'mass murder' incident. The designation resulted in Rittenhouse's social media accounts being pulled down and restricting positive comments about the teenager."
"Let's just use for an example what Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg said about [Rittenhouse]. They said that he was involved in a mass murder incident," McMurtry explained. "This was not a mass murder incident. It was clearly factually false."
Quote:
"To call somebody a mass murderer is seriously defamatory. And then to use the power of social media to basically … censor any views that would take opposition to that mass murderer statement is a serious effort to destroy his character. And it was seriously mistaken and seriously defamatory," he continued.
The lawyer added, "Facebook has an outsized voice, they can do a lot of damage, as compared to somebody maybe who has a small blog with 100 subscribers. But we're going to look at everything that we have access to and that's been published, and decide which ones are actionable."
Quote:
McMurtry told Fox News Digital he knows "for a fact that [Rittenhouse] can prove that his job prospects are permanently diminished."
"Not to mention what they call perpetual reputational harm, which means that Kyle is never going to have an interaction with anybody where they don't know who he is. And this is going to follow him around for the rest of his life."
LinkQuote:
"Everybody's going to prejudge him in every new interaction that he has with everybody for the rest of his life, and that's called perpetual reputational harm. … The social media hysteria caused all this because people can't act reasonably and rationally in certain circumstances," McMurtry said.
Putting Rittenhouse on par or above C Kyle (and 11 posters starring)is how I know f16 has finally gone off the rails.Teslag said:LCE said:
Chris Kyle is a hero. This kid is a dumbass.
Chris killed terrorist in a pointless foreign war. Rittenhouse killed terrorists in our backyard destroying American businesses.
Point Kyle Rittenhouse

NEW: Texas A&M University says Kyle Rittenhouse has not been admitted as a student this summer or fall.

My impression from the discussion was that he was going to be enrolled soon. This corrects that is all. <shrug>Eliminatus said:74OA said:

Yeah, several have already checked through the directory and some here are using it as a point against him? I don't know. It's weird.
I said I was going to TAMU years before I actually got accepted.

So 7 pages and I learned nobody has a real reason for him to not attend A&M. Our poster who knows little about EVs knows less about KR.

Also Rosenbaum earlier that evening had told Kyle and the others protecting the car lot "if I catch any of y'all out there alone tonight I'll ****ing kill you." This was after he continuous dropped the N word multiple times.aggiehawg said:How do you know?

Oh and he was putting out fires started by the rioters. It was his putting out a dumpster fire that caused Rosenbaum to focus on him and go after him. Fortunately for Kyle, a social media journalist, Ricky McGinnis, was right behind Rosenbaum as he lunged to grab Kyle's gun while saying, "F*** you!!" He saw Kyle as he started to swing away from Rosenbaum and then raise his gun and McGinnis got out of the way. Kyle didn't fire until McGinnis was clear and Rosenbaum was again reaching for the gun. Wounds to his hand showed his hand was outstretched and reaching for the muzzle.
Going into the trial, it was the Rosenbaum shooting that I was mostly unsure of what had happened as that one did not have a lot of video associated with it unlike the other three shooting incidents that night. Jumpkick Man, Anthony Huber a/k/a Skateboard guy" and then Gaige Grooskreutz with a loaded Glock pointed at Kyle's head as he was on the ground.
Recruiting was already killed by not taking down Sul Ross.FriscoKid said:aggiehawg said:Do you think they still believe Kyle killed Black guys that night and that's the source of their hand-wringing?FriscoKid said:
