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.
What we really need is @Civility@hexbear.net
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.
You might as well call him a Judeo-Bolshervick next.
Shut the fuck up, crackkker. There were literal slave owners who held the office of president and many more who ordered the genocide of Native American people. Trump is an asshole who does ghoulish shit worthy of condemnation, especially with the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
But there is no way to do worse than genocide, whether it’s indigenous people in 1831 or Palestinians in 2025. Do not white wash the crimes of former US presidents and downplay the evils they committed. Trump is exactly what you can expect from a country who, along with one of their neighbors, wiped out nearly 100 million people, enslaved another 20 million, and then backed brutal dictatorships such as Batista in Cuba, Pinochet in Chile, or Pol Pot in Cambodia.
America isn’t alone. America is responsible for the exact kinds of crimes that literally Every other nation in the world has committed, many long before America was even founded, including whatever country you come from.
Actually very few countries have been responsible for anywhere near the mountain of corpses at America’s feet.
This is legitimately a line that Republicans use to downplay America’s crimes. Many countries have done less than the mountain of genocides the US has perpetrated. Also, why are you assuming they aren’t American or that they are trying to lionize their home country?
Wrong. Fuck off with your fascist apologia.
What genocide has Cuba created, where are the indigenous americans hiding the bodies, what nation did the inuits drone strike
Stop acting like America is the only nation that has misbehaved throughout history. Plenty of people died during the Cuban Rebellion, and European countries are responsible for plenty of atrocities around the world during their imperial stages. Belgium did lots of ugly stuff in Africa, France did lots in Indo-China, the Spanish unleashed a plague on the Native Americans that wiped out 90% of them before the rest of the Europeans showed up and finished the job. England brutalized nearly all of the world for centuries, just ask the Indians or the Chinese. They treated the indigenous Australians every bit as badly as the Native Americans were treated. And let’s not forget Germany’s multiple attempts at world domination. All this stuff happened at the exact same time as the American atrocities were happening. Your part of the world is no less complicit in the ugliness of history.
Before all that, we had Romans and Khans and Huns and Vikings, etc. murdering entire cities and nation states.
America isn’t responsible for all the bad in the world, CIVILIZATION is. Blaming other nations, and perpetuating the hatred, xenophobia, and violence isn’t going to make the world the better place you purport to want.
You said EVERY nation you evil, genocidal, racist little shit.
That was a lot of words to not answer the question
Oh, you poor thing.
Firstly, every gusano the rebels killed in cuba deserved to die. It is a good thing they are dead, and I hope for more dead gusanos.
See, the thing is, killing isn’t bad. You don’t believe its bad either, you just want to handwave it away as a thing that happens, and not a tool that can be used for good or evil. America is and always has used violence in the name of imperialism. Other nations have as well, as you noted, but none of them match the nation built off of (at least) 2 genocides, and continued to actively participate in genocides throughout the world to this very day. There is no match for the amount of death and destruction that america has caused in the world, through history. None come close. Your correlation of violence as a whole to imperialist genocide is part of the exact representation of liberalism that disgusts us here. Pretending any statements I’ve made are equal to this idea that america created violence and is the only bad thing that ever happened is weak sauce, my guy.
Also, my part of the world is the american south. Feel free to visit sometime. I love choking out nazis.
Does Russia count as an “other nation”?
Blaming Russia, and perpetuating the hatred, xenophobia, and violence isn’t going to make the world the better place you purport to want.
The Cuban Revolution had some summary executions, that is nothing compared to the crimes of what I can’t help but notice are almost all western nations over the past few centuries.
Answer the question dipshit
Dishonest deflection.
As a reminder, you are claiming that the current president is worse than those that owned slaves and committed genocide to steal the land you now live on.
You are using white supremacist talking points.
He IS worse than them. The only reason he isn’t owning slaves and outright killing people is because he’s only been in power for a few months. But he is already responsible for the deaths of thousands, and they are preparing for a future in which prison slaves will be a major labor force in America.
He is easily the most corrupt president in all of history, and he is the ONLY president who attempted an Insurrection in order to install himself as Dictator for Life. He also stole hundreds of classified documents to sell to our enemies. No other president has tried any of that.
You are a white supremacist
“ and they are preparing for a future in which prison slaves will be a major labor force in America.”
This history degree, did you manage to sleep through earning it? Was it honorary for being the biggest believer in the USA civic religion? Is this a very elaborate bit?
So the full term before is nothing?
It’s only the future as a product of being true for a very long time already.
In one ear and out the other. Completely ignored that my point here was about deflection and that you need to revisit the original reply and handle it honestly.
Instead, you want me to redundantly engage with what you already avoided? Reply to parent germanely and then ask nicely.
What a disgusting little worm you are
“I don’t care about genocides or slavery, I just really really really hate Russian people and this guy doesn’t hate Russian people enough.”
Putting words in my mouth that I didn’t say and don’t believe. Literally the stupidest form of debate there is, employed by the shallowest of thinkers. It’s much easier to dismiss an opponent when you can just invent their arguments.
I don’t hold ANY of the beliefs you just listed.
It’s extremely obvious to everyone reading your posts that you absolutely 100% think that not hating Russians enough is worse than mass murder.
Yes you do.
It’s so easy to just make up lies, and demand they be accepted as truth. In America, that’s a MAGA Nazi strategy.
You said that Trump is the worst president ever, so clearly the genocides and slavery of previous presidents doesn’t bother you all that much.
The only difference between the set of bloodthirsty imperial freaks you take issue with, and the set you belong to, is that liberal fascists insist on lying to themselves about what they are.
There have been at least 3 worse presidents within my lifetime. 2 were related.
i’m unclear on HW being worse
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.
HW was up to a lot before becoming president and just after his presidency he was found by Gorbachev grappling with a ‘local oaf’
Alright, have fun today kiddo
