With emotions still high after the assassination of far-right conservative Charlie Kirk, folks are gathering for vigils around the country. But one memorial in Idaho took a violent turn after a critic of Kirk crashed the scene…and the results weren’t pretty.

It all started when one Black activist, Terry Wilson, rode a bike to the Capitol building of Idaho. There, hundreds were gathered to honor Kirk, who was killed while debating college students at Utah Valley State on Wednesday (Sep. 10).
When Wilson got to the candle light vigil, he allegedly began yelling “F**k Charlie Kirk” at the mourners which led to him eventually being confronted by at least 10 individuals. Clips from that night have now gone viral with millions of views. In one of the videos, you can see Wilson arguing with several of the attendees. Then, one of them throws a punch.
Wilson defends himself, but is quickly overwhelmed. The group drags Wilson off of his bike and began kicking, punching and choking him while others cheered on the violence. At the same time, several attendees defended Wilson. One man can even be heard yelling “Do not touch him! Let God Judge.”
Police soon arrived to the scene and separated Wilson from his attackers. In another viral video, Wilson is surrounded by three cops far from the vigil. That doesn’t stop Kirk supporters from following him and engaging in more arguments. Then, Wilson spots a Black man in the crowd and calls him a “sellout.” He then yells “F**k Charlie Kirk” again.
Another white man goes off on Wilson — this time while holding an American flag. He then tells the activist he would beat him up in front of the police officers. You’d think this would be the end… but no. Wilson then gets into a screaming match with another vigil attendee, who tells him she’s Mexican.
“No you’re not. You are a sellout. You ain’t Mexican,” Wilson tells the woman. “You pass for white, b***h. You go in the store, they treat you good and you know why,” he continued. That’s when a man standing behind the unnamed woman throws a punch at Wilson, starting yet another fight. Police quickly separate them and put them both in cuffs.
It’s unclear if the aggressor was arrested or charged with anything, but Wilson, was tossed in jail. He was charged with disturbing the peace and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, according to jail records.
This isn’t the first time Wilson has been in the news. Back in 2021, he was arrested for vandalizing Boise’s Lincoln statue on the first day of Black History Month, according to KTVB. Wilson is a known Black Lives Matter activist in his state.
