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.
Proof that you’re deeply unserious if you think he’s markedly worse than Dubya and the piles of Afghan and Iraqi bodies he left behind, not to mention all the illegal detention in Guantanamo Bay and the ”attack on democracy” in your own terms via thing like the Patriot Act.
HitlerPig is a cringe-ass nickname too even by lib Trump name standards.

The destruction of USAID also fucked up the funding for a lot of CIA shit done through the same org. The good it has done has always been to mask the mad. That’s not new either, its been the case since its funding.
He’s already been in office 4 years
Trump already had a whole four year term, it’s not like he’s a new president.
So is Biden.
I see you ignored my main point though, if you think Trump is markedly worse than Bush who murdered millions of Afghans and Iraqis and could easily be considered a similar ”authoritarian” to Trump under your terms, you’re deeply unserious.
Blue MAGA rehabilitating Bush is just so bizarre. You’d think they’d be anti-Bush because he reminds them of Trump, but somehow he has become “one of the good ones” it’s baffling.
Bluemaga has to be mostly made up of people who weren’t alive or really young during the bush years. Admittedly that’s when I cut my teeth politically. I was 12 when he was elected and came of age during the Iraq war with recruiters in my school cafeteria making fun of us chubby/pacifist kids and goading my friends to go die or kill innocents in the Middle East on a lie. Some of them did.
I will never forgive democrats for letting bush off the hook. That was my first line in the sand and I’ve never looked back.
