Black Lives Matter protesters swarmed a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter event at the University of Memphis on Wednesday over Kyle Rittenhouse's scheduled appearance.

Chants from the mob included “lock his a** up” and “Kyle is a killer,” and demonstrators brazenly tapped the names of individuals involved in Rittenhouse’s self-defense case on the seats. Notably, school officials purportedly failed to intervene to halt these disruptive actions.

The protestors also doxxed the phone number and address of the university's TPUSA chapter president on social media, The Post Millennial reports.

Rittenhouse would eventually issue a “quick update” on X. Letting his followers know that he made it back safely following the event.

He later blamed the University of Memphis on “The Ingraham Angle” for the chaos that ensued.

TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk announced on Thursday that he would request Tennessee lawmakers to investigate whether “the University of Memphis colluded with local protesters to sabotage” the event.

“I will be asking TN lawmakers to investigate if the University of Memphis colluded with local protesters to sabotage last night's TPUSA event with Kyle Rittenhouse. We may also file our own lawsuit on viewpoint discrimination. Stay tuned,” Kirk wrote.

Kirk also discussed the potential lawsuit during his Thursday airing of The Charlie Kirk Show.

“We very well might file a lawsuit and we might file a lawsuit on technical grounds,” he said. 

“The way that campus speech is supposed to be administered is from viewpoint neutrality. The taxpayer-funded universities, especially state universities, they are not allowed to say we, you know, we really don't like Kyle Rittenhouse, we don't like Turning Point. We're gonna go help BLM to compromise the ticketing system and give them a leg up. It’s not legal,” he continued.

The Wednesday night event had been approved by the university since mid-February. However, in the days leading up to the event, university officials notified the TPUSA chapter that their ticketing methods were considered “not fair and equitable.”

The Turning Point chapter president then met with the school and agreed to publish a new ticketing link for the event. 

Once the link was made available, it was quickly disseminated by the protestors.
