This is unacceptable.
What was meant to be a solemn candlelight vigil honoring conservative leader Charlie Kirk turned into a scene of chaos and violence after a far-left Black Lives Matter activist provoked mourners with vile insults.
Kirk, the 31-year-old political activist and Turning Point USA founder, was assassinated on Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University, sending shockwaves across the conservative community. That evening, a vigil held in Boise, Idaho, to honor Kirk’s life was violently disrupted — and it was all caught on camera.
Vigil Descends Into Chaos
Witnesses say the brawl began when a man wearing a white T-shirt and rainbow-colored backpack rode into the crowd on a Lime bike and shouted a vulgar anti-Kirk slur, yelling, “F— Charlie Kirk!”
The outburst immediately enraged those gathered to grieve. According to police, the agitator was later identified as 41-year-old Terry Wilson, a local BLM activist with a lengthy record of radical protests and previous arrests.
As tensions rose, 51-year-old Alfonso Ayala, a local resident attending the vigil, confronted Wilson. What started as a shouting match quickly turned physical.
Videos show Wilson being knocked to the ground, kicked, and punched as some in the crowd chanted “USA! USA!” while others desperately begged for the violence to stop. Wilson eventually stood up and swung back, intensifying the melee until police officers and bystanders intervened.
Wilson Arrested With Gun and Drugs
After breaking up the fight, police arrested both Wilson and Ayala.
During Wilson’s arrest, officers discovered he was armed with a concealed firearm and also carrying marijuana. He now faces multiple misdemeanor charges, including:
- Disturbing the peace
- Carrying a concealed weapon while under the influence
- Possession of marijuana
Wilson was taken to a hospital for treatment before being booked into the Ada County Jail, according to KIVI News.
Ayala was also booked on a misdemeanor disturbing-the-peace charge.
Police Promise Strong Security After Kirk Assassination
The Boise Police Department (BPD) issued a statement the following day, pledging to protect the community during upcoming 9/11 remembrance ceremonies and further vigils honoring Charlie Kirk.
“In light of the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and the events in Utah, Boise police officers are working closely with event organizers to ensure safe and secure environments for everyone attending,” the department stated.
“Public safety remains our top priority.”
BLM Activist’s Disturbing Past
Local reports reveal Wilson has a troubling history of radical activism and previous arrests.
In 2021, Wilson was charged with vandalizing Boise’s historic “Seated Lincoln” statue, smearing it with paint and feces while surrounding it with makeshift protest signs.
Despite the seriousness of the crime, Wilson received only 32 hours of community service and was ordered to pay the city a mere $91.96 in restitution — a punishment many conservatives called “a slap on the wrist.”
A Growing Threat to Conservative Voices
Charlie Kirk’s assassination — followed by this violent incident at his vigil — has left conservatives heartbroken and outraged.
Many are now demanding tougher action against extremist groups like Black Lives Matter, which continue to disrupt peaceful gatherings and target conservative leaders.
The tragic events of this week serve as a powerful reminder of the hostility conservative Americans face simply for exercising their right to free speech and honoring their heroes.
