A memorial set up to honor conservative activist Charlie Kirk outside Turning Point USA’s Phoenix headquarters descended into chaos as one teenager committed a disgusting act.
Footage of the incident, obtained by Fox News, shows 19-year-old Ryder Corral jumping onto flowers, photos, and tributes left by mourners.
Dressed in a black shirt featuring an American flag and bald eagle — similar to the one worn by Kirk’s alleged killer — Corral violently stomped across the vigil to the horror of those gathered.
One outraged mourner quickly intervened, yanking Corral away and throwing him to the ground, where he was then kicked by another person.
Police moved in to detain Corral, who now faces charges of criminal damage and disorderly conduct, according to Phoenix Police Department Public Information Sergeant Philip Krynsky.

Tyler Robinson arrested after 33-hour manhunt
Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested on Friday, September 12, after a multi-state manhunt that lasted over 30 hours.
According to Trump, Robinson was turned in by someone “close” to him.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox later confirmed the suspect has remained silent since his arrest and is “not cooperating,” per BBC News.
When pressed by CNN about claims that Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” Cox said: “So that information comes from the people around him, from his family members and friends. That's how we got that information.”
Cox also commented vaguely on the alleged motive: “Just not a fan. That’s all I can say.”
Widow vows to carry on Kirk’s mission
Kirk’s widow, Erika, spoke out for the first time during a livestream on Friday, pledging to continue her late husband’s work with Turning Point USA and confirming that Americafest — the group’s flagship annual conference — will still take place this December in Phoenix.
“There will be even more tours in the years to come,” she said, calling Kirk a “martyr” and emphasizing his passion and conviction: "He wanted to be remembered for his courage and for his faith.”
She also offered a personal glimpse into Kirk’s life and values.
“He loved his life. He loved America. He loved nature, which helped him always bring him closer to God. He loved the Chicago Cubs and, my goodness, did he love the Oregon Ducks.
"Most of all,” she added, “Charlie loved his children, and he loved me with all of his heart, and I knew that every day.”
