Kyle Rittenhouse abruptly fled the stage during an appearance at the University of Memphis on Wednesday night after being heckled by a rowdy crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters.

The Kenosha shooter, 21, hightailed it off the podium after the protesters started booing loudly roughly 30 minutes into his scheduled appearance, footage shows.

Prior to Rittenhouse’s talk, hundreds of people rallied outside the university brandishing signs that read, “Put Rittenhouse behind bars not a podium” and “No killers on my campus.”
