'Thinking about staying': Kyle Rittenhouse shows interest in attending Texas A&M University

[TexasTowelie]

Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted from multiple charges in connection to killing two men and wounding another during street protests in Wisconsin in 2020, could become an Aggie. The 18-year-old hinted at the possibility of attending Texas A&M University during a visit.

"ASU has been fun, but becoming an Aggie might be better," Rittenhouse wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday, April 28.

In a later Instagram post on Saturday, April 30, Rittenhouse wrote he's "thinking about staying" in Texas. He posted a photo of him in the "Howdy Chair."

Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle during a tumultuous night of protests in the summer of 2020. In his closely watched trial, Rittenhouse pleaded self-defense in the deadly shootings.

I hope that Kyle decides not to attend Texas A&M. I live four miles away from the campus and I really want to be able to go outside without wondering if I'll be chosen by Kyle for target practice.

1. As a proud, ring wearing and ankle tattood Aggie, the thought of that little shitstain

In Aggieland sickens me. He won’t last…he doesn’t strike me as the sharpest knife in the drawer…

2. All for killers getting better educated in prison, but don't let that MFer near the tower.

15. the tower is in Austin at the University of Texas.

That punk has a lot of nerve thinking he can get into A&M. I can't imagine his application would get any further than the shredder in the admissions office. A school like A & M is very wrapped up in its image and no school is prouder of itself!

Is he in the top 10% of his class? doubt it
Does he have a lot of money?

I know a number of very capable students who missed that top 10% cutoff but were able to go to one of the satellite campuses. They did well there and easily transferred to the main campus.

Guess he thinks that his gun skills are an automatic qualification.

17. Whoops. Only off 107 miles. Maybe he figures TX will find spot for him, or he's joining Security.

Anyway, I suspect someone will quickly punch him out.

3. Maybe he can major in NRA studies...

4. I was leaning towards animal husbandry,

but yours is better.

14. That brings up the old joke

"Texas A&M. Where men are men and the sheep are scaarred".

That usually come after the Baylor joke.

5. I'm no fan of A&M, but...

…don’t they demand applicants have academic accomplishments, SAT scores, and a variety of social accomplishments and recommendations - just to be accepted???? That, I’d bet - this loser DOESN’T have!

[TexasTowelie]

6. A lot of universities have suspended/dropped the requirements for SAT/ACT scores due to COVID

and that the students couldn't meet at testing facilities. I suspect that the social accomplishments have taken less importance because of COVID. That pretty much leaves the only criteria tied to class ranking and/or GPA. I believe that Rittenhouse is completing a semester at Arizona State University (it may be online), so if he manages to earn a 3.0 GPA that could get him across the threshold to meet Texas A&M's requirements.

16. A & M and U T are the most difficult to get into here.

The academic and admission standards are very high.

I seriously doubt any Aggie alum would want him on that campus.

7. He's still too young and stupid to realize he's going to be a pariah...

to a large segment of the population for the rest of his miserable life...including people on Texas A&M's campus.

8. This asshole should not go to A&M

[TexasTowelie]

9. I guess that they can charge him out-of-state tuition if somehow he can work out a deal

to matriculate. However, he shouldn't receive a scholarship and he should be put at the bottom of the housing list.

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't "recognized" by the city council and police association of College Station. I'm going to feel vulnerable when I wheel myself along Texas Avenue when I have to go out for groceries and other errands if he moves here.

Feel like taking on a personal injury case for a mental anguish claim? It won't take any effort from me to pull off "deeply disturbed."

10. A&M Sugar-Daddy Rick Perry could get the little bastard in, I suspect.

I'm not very fond of A&M, but I hope it doesn't happen.

11. As a Illinois resident , Texas

you can have him. Sorry.

[TexasTowelie]

12. No thanks.

[kacekwl]

13. No backsies.
