Teen tramples Charlie Kirk memorial outside Turning Point USA



A teen in a t-shirt similar to the one worn by Charlie Kirk’s accused killer trampled on a memorial Sunday outside Turning Point USA’s headquarters that was dedicated to its slain co-founder, cops said.

Shocking footage showed the moment Ryder Corral, 19, jumped on top of the flowers, photos and gifts left behind for Kirk, 31, at the Phoenix, Ariz., building after the conservative icon was fatally shot speaking at Utah Valley University last week, Fox News reported.

Corral stomped violently across the vigil, much to the horror of the people there mourning Kirk, with one person finally yanking the vandal away, authorities said.

The angered spectator grabbed Corral and tossed him to the ground, with another mourner seen kicking the downed suspect.

Law-enforcement agents eventually rushed in to pull Corral away from the angry crowd, handcuffing him and taking him into police custody.

Corral was notably wearing a black shirt featuring an American flag and bald eagle, similar to the one Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was seen wearing in pictures distributed by police during their manhunt for him.

Corral is set to be charged with criminal damage and disorderly conduct, Phoenix Police Department Public Information Sergeant Philip Krynsky told Fox.

Sunday’s incident wasn’t the first of its kind since Kirk was fatally shot Wednesday.

Just hours after his death, a wild brawl broke out outside the Idaho State Capitol when a man on a bike confronted mourners and yelled, “F–k Charlie Kirk!”

As with Sunday’s incident, the Idaho case saw the heckler quickly outnumbered by supporters of Kirk who began attacking him until police arrived to break up the scene.
