In a shocking incident over the weekend, a man was arrested after he intentionally disrupted a memorial for Charlie Kirk in front of the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix. Onlookers captured footage of the young man, identified as 19-year-old Ryder Corral, as he brazenly kicked over flowers, vases, and flags that had been placed in tribute to Kirk, who was recently assassinated. Concerned attendees quickly intervened, and one individual in a blue polo shirt forcibly removed Corral from the memorial and tackled him to the ground.
Corral's attire at the time of his arrest featured a black shirt adorned with an American flag and an eagle, which closely resembles the clothing worn by Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Kirk in a shooting incident while he was addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University. The authorities took immediate action, with local police apprehending Corral and escorting him from the scene. He will face various charges, including criminal damage and disorderly conduct, as confirmed by Public Information Sergeant Philip Krynsky.
Fortunately, there were no serious injuries reported during this episode, which occurred as police were already monitoring the area due to the large gathering of mourners. Following a tense 33-hour manhunt, law enforcement officials successfully apprehended Tyler Robinson, the alleged shooter, just days before Corral's arrest. Kirk, a beloved husband and father, tragically died at the age of 31 after being struck by a single bullet while on stage.

They're making a martyr out of him. Seems like they used the kid for promoting themselves

19-year-old doing what, exactly? Damaging flowers? Excessive force in the video. This is an overreach.

It's time we, as a society, show respect for the dead - especially those who give so much of themselves.

The police did the right thing. Protecting the peace as always!

Imagine the pain of the family of Kirk seeing such displays of disrespect. They have no compassion.

He should be charged to the fullest extent of the law! There is absolutely no place for this kind of disrespect.

This is just further proof of the hypocrisy on the right. Crying about free speech until it's someone they disagree with.
