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.
It is an I gave a reason why: it is doing genocide. You ignored that reason. So are you pro-genocide or just dishonest?
To fight for human dignity and rights is to fight against America. America as it is, not as documents tell you it is "supposed" to be. The US does not, in reality, have freedom of exoression, religion, or privacy, though it certainly does have unlimited freedom for the war machine (so long as capital aligns with it). The latter is not a good thing and is part of why you should be against America if you want to think of yourself as a good person.
You should be against genocide and take direct action against it. That would make you a traitor. So, nationalist, you have to make a choice: nationalist embracing genocide or traitor rejecting genocide? You already tacitly told us your answer, but don't you think it is important to have integrity and be honest about your opinions?
Shall we add, "takes action against genocide" to the list of things that liberals think are authorotarian?
Will you firebomb a JDAM factory?
No president has followed the constitution. The political class has been fighting it for their economic masters since its inception even when it enshrines better methods by which they can maintain profits and control. In addition, I cannot emphasize this enough, I do not care about the constitution or what is legal. The legal and moral are not the same thing.
If it were 1860 you'd be complaining about Lincoln violating the constitution to end slavery.
These were already bad faith proclamations in their time made by slaveowners and swindlers. "Citizen control"? You are historically illiterate. Most citizens could not even vote when the Constitution went into effect. Capital has always been in power in the US, whether it was landowners or industrislists or merchants.
If you cared about people controlling their own governments around the world you would oppose the US, which regularly topples other governments and supports dictatorships and fascists.
But you yourself have twisted it, or really, let's be honest, regirgitated some nationalist blue MAGA bullshit you heard and never investigated. You can't even get your own national civic history right!
