Can't read the article, but this guy probably wasn't just mouthing off a bit.

He crossed a yellow tape boundary. The article doesn't have a picture of the boundary though, so can't tell if it was obvious, or something that had been poorly secured, was laying on the ground, etc.

He also happened to not only be a citizen in general, but a US Army veteran that earned US citizenship via his service to the country.
