Man Tramples Charlie Kirk Memorial, Immediately Regrets It

A man trampling on a Phoenix memorial in Arizona, to assassinate the founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, on Sunday, was approached on the ground and then arrested by the police.

The authorities arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, early Friday morning, accusing him of killing Kirk during a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. The commemorative monuments in Kirk have emerged across the country in the following days, because supporters organized night lights for the Salem Radio Network host.

The video, published on X by the Fox News correspondent, Matt Finn, shows the man, dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans, trampling the memorial outside the headquarters of Tpusa before the spectators’ intervention. The video then shows the man arrested by two police officers.

WATCH:

“The officers were directed to a man who was damaged a community memorial in front of a company near the 48th Street and Beverly Road,” Phoenix police department said in a statement sent to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The officers were in the region to help traffic control due to a major community presence in the region after recent events.”

“The man, later identified as Ryder Corral, 19, was detained by witnesses until he was arrested by agents who replied,” continued the press release, before noting that Corral faces several accusations, including the destruction of disorderly goods and conduct.

Kirk founded Tpusa, a conservative organization for college and high school students in June 2012 at the age of 18, according to the group’s website. He also welcomed “The Charlie Kirk Show”, a podcast which later became a radio program on Salem Radio Network, according to his biography on the Tpusa website. Kirk lived in the Phoenix region at the time of his death.

Some accounts on X noted that the Corral T-shirt seemed similar to that which would be worn by Robinson during the assassination, according to alleged video sequences representing the suspicious shooter.
