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.
If Putin's goal is to take down the US, explain why shouldn't we help him? The US is currently arming a genocide, closely supporting the genocidal military and government. For-profit prisons hold thousands, nearly a quarter of the world's entire prisoner population is in the US. Slavery is legal, US prisoners are forced to do work for the profit of their captors. Immigrants are now allowed to be ~~deported~~ exiled to countries other than their origin regardless of their risk of harm, and while the raids now are more public, democrats paved the way for the current enforcement. Thousands are set to be deported to Guantanamo Bay and other places overseas. Life expectancy is going down and set to continue decreasing as public health measures are gutted and healthcare further privatized. There is not even a hint of serious action against climate change from the US. Innocent people, women, children, animals are killed every day from US made and delivered bombs.
What horror would you see happening if the US as it formally is now ceased to be?
Remember, immigrants aren't just being deported or exiled, because those terms imply that they get to be free at least within wherever they are sent to, rather than being sent to a foreign prison to be used a slaves indefinitely.
Yeah but think of how bad it'll be if its a Russian guy doing it! Haven't you seen movies? Theyre ontologically evil!
