‘I’ll Be There In The Spring!’: Rittenhouse Says Protests To Get Him Booted From ASU Have Failed

The rest of the story.

[DailyWire] Attempts from far-left activists and students to get Kyle Rittenhouse booted from Arizona State University have failed, the teenager revealed Monday during an appearance on Blaze TV’s “You Are Here.”

Asked about what schools he’s looking at for college, Rittenhouse enthusiastically responded, “ASU, Arizona State University — I’ll be there in the spring!”

“Weren’t there people protesting that?” Blaze Media’s Sara Gonzales asked the 18-year-old.

“Yeah, but they failed,” Rittenhouse responded.

When the protesters were mocked for falsely claiming the teen “murdered” “black people,” Rittenhouse replied, “Look, everybody has the right to protest, no matter how silly it is.”

Officials at Arizona State University said last week that Rittenhouse “was not currently enrolled at the university, though he was taking online classes, as activists called for his removal from the school,” The Daily Wire reported.

“Kyle Rittenhouse has not gone through the admissions process with Arizona State University and is not enrolled in the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation,” the school said. “ASU can confirm that Mr. Rittenhouse enrolled as a non-degree seeking ASU Online student for the session that started Oct. 13, 2021, which allows students access to begin taking classes as they prepare to seek admission into a degree program at the university.”

In a follow-up statement, ASU said Rittenhouse was not enrolled as a student at ASU: “Kyle Rittenhouse has not gone through the ASU admissions process. Our records show that he is not currently enrolled in any classes at ASU.”

In response, Rittenhouse family spokesman Dave Hancock told Fox News that the teen’s professors “advised [him] to temporarily withdraw from classes but that he is planning on enrolling again.”

“Amid his most recent semester, Kyle’s professors at Arizona State University recommended a compassionate withdrawal of his online classes,” Hancock said. “Now that the trial is behind him, Kyle is eager to enroll in more classes. He is hopeful that attending Arizona State in person will soon be an option.”

It seems Rittenhouse has since re-enrolled and has been accepted.

A jury last month found the teen not guilty on all charges related to a fatal riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, that took place last year. The teen was facing life in prison without the chance at parole.

During his appearance on Blaze TV, Rittenhouse repeatedly rejected the notion that he’s a “hero” or “heroic,” emphasizing that he wished he did not have to take anyone’s life.

The teen noted that he had no choice but to fatally shoot his attackers and believes it is a “God-given right” for anyone to defend themselves from danger.

Now the question becomes.
How many actual enrolled ASU students will raise hell, skip classes, get dropped or kicked out for violating student rules, get arrested for number of things, then rack-up a few $1,000 in student loans debt to protest him exercising his legally justified Civil Rights.

Verses the imported Thugs playing Students, that the MSM will use and portray as students?

I would also warn him never to date from the ASU Student body to avoid False Sexual Assault claims.

#2 At some point he may need to go to ground, change his name

#3 ^ He seems unashamed about who he is and what he's done (as he should be.) I doubt he will change his name or appearance. But I guess wrong half the time.

#4 Pride is one thing, but receiving multiple death threats every day without benefit of police protection is another thing entirely

#5 In his case, the death threat idiots are COMICON level. If he got a penny for each one, he would already be retired.

#6 "Death threats" pale in comparison to:

1) being charged by a lunatic while someone else fires shots, presumably at you
2) being chased by a mob
3) having another lunatic try to crush your skull with a skateboard
4) yet another lunatic tries to jump-kick you in the head
5) yet ANOTHER lunatic feigns being peaceful and draws a pistol on you

Stupid tweets, emails, phone calls -- all pale in comparison to what he went through in the space of a few minutes. And he kept his head, only missing one target, and defended himself brilliantly.

#7 Yes he did. He's an extraordinary young man and a great hero. Naive though he may have been, it nonetheless gives us all hope for our country that we can still produce such a young man.

But the evidence from his trial is unmistakable: Kyle is suffering from PTSD.

Two public breakdowns, plus his or his lawyers' admission that, during his nightmarish jail stay pending release on bail, he was vomiting every day from the stress, tell us that this brace young man has paid a horrific price for his valorous actions.

And will continue to pay the price for as long as he lives in this sick and decadent shadow of our former great Republic.

#8 He is sorta chubby. I really don't see any evidence of having trouble keeping his food down. Yes, that is how some people handle stress, I'm one of them.

Not throwing any shade at him at all. He seems to be handling the after-action every bit as well as he handled the combat. More like him, please.

#9 Our formerly great republic had witch trials well before the Constitution was ratified. Just sayin'...

#10 Maybe you're right. I don't think any of us knows what he's actually facing now. I can't imagine how I'd endure that surreal Kafkaesque, shitshow-ordeal he's endured these last 15 months

#11 Well, he's already a hero. Heroes are thrust into these situations, and they get damaged yes. But they leave us hope. That's why they're called exemplary. I love this kid.

O' babyfaced chap from Illinois,
Creedmoor Position posterboy.
My salute to yer daddy and mammy,
for raisin' ya this triple whammy
for them Wakandan baiters of soy.

#12 I have a hard time imagining you'd come out of the mess he was in without seeing that life comes down to doing exactly what's necessary in the moment. It has to be both humbling and empowering at the same time. One of the best saying on the Murphy's Law Calendar is "Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement." Kyle has already said he wishes he had not been there. But he was and he's alive to say he knows better now. That's pretty much as good an outcome as you could ask for.

#13 Let's please remember something the media doesn't bother to point out. Multiple people were trying to execute him for putting out a fire they set. That's the republic we currently live in.

#15 Kyle Rittenhouse Reveals He Plans to Become a Lawyer

If he makes it all the way through, he’ll have no problem getting a job with one of the conservative versions of the ACLU. And a great asset he’ll be for them. As I recall, he originally planned to become a policeman.

#16 If he figures to be the sort of lawyer who shoots to kill, he will be busy and successful.

#17 Man... how I wish we too had gun rights just like Americans. Yes, I get it; it kind of hinders jihadists, khalistanis etc. away from raping and shooting every innocent being. But it's so liberating to own guns and rifles.
Anyway, if those filthy leftists and liberals keep marauding against conservatives and gun laws, they're very much welcome to live in countries such as mine.

#18 If he runs the calculus and decides "If I shoot that guy who's trying to kill me, I will be put through kangaroo court." he winds up dead. So, that decision tree would have avoided kangaroo court, anyway....
