NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Super Bowl halftime show performer was charged Thursday with two misdemeanors, about 4 1/2 months after he ran across the field at the Superdome waving a flag that included the words “Sudan and Free Gaza,” Louisiana State Police said.
Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, 41, turned himself in to authorities to face of charges resisting a police officer and disturbing the peace by interrupting a lawful assembly, police said. He surrendered in coordination with his attorney and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center.
Nantambu revealed the flag and ran on the field during rapper Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance on Feb. 9. He was detained on the field after his demonstration but not charged. The NFL said at the time he would be banned for life from league stadiums and events.
According to a statement from police, Nantambu had been hired as an extra performer and “had permission to be on the field during the performance, but did not have permission to demonstrate as he did.”
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy thanked investigators for their work.
“We take any attempt to disrupt any part of an NFL game, including the halftime show, very seriously and are pleased this individual will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” McCarthy said in a statement.
I don't think you realize what instance you're posting on, so I'm gonna be nice.
That is America. Its what America has always been. It isn't traitorous, or beyond the pale, or anything other than what America has always done. There is not one single president who has done much different. Trump just isn't nice about it. He's too obvious. And you're falling for it.
No, HitlerPig is much, much worse than the status quo presidents we've had in the past. They may have been protecting the wealthy, but they weren't Russian stooges, dedicated to looting America of everything of value, then destroying it.
There have been at least 3 worse presidents within my lifetime. 2 were related.
i'm unclear on HW being worse
HW was up to a lot before becoming president and just after his presidency he was found by Gorbachev grappling with a 'local oaf'
The genocidal sanctions regime on Iraq would be enough, though that bled into Clinton by a large degree.
To be honest they've all done worse, globally, than Trump, for decades.
