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.

But there was time when the government could keep them in check. Now they have hoarded enough money that they can leverage their own deals with foreign nations, outside of government control.

That's what has changed, and it's not an American problem, it's a global problem. Billionaires aren't just in America, they are everywhere, and they are deciding to usurp the typical roles that government has had in the past. Instead of government regulating them, they will regulate governments to suit their needs.

Non-Americans are falling into the same trap that American MAGAs have fallen into - they are blaming everyone except those who are actually causing the problems: the Sociopathic Oligarchs, and their Transnational Corporations.

You could have your wildest anti-American dreams come true, and have America erased from history, and your problems would still be there, because the problem isn't America, it's the out-of-control wealth hoarding around the globe. One of the biggest is Putin, and once he eliminates America, he'll move onto every other wealthy nation.

Quit attacking the victims of the wealthy, and attack the wealthy themselves.

No, America has always been the ones actively doing the evil, or propping it up for monetary gain.

Billionaires aren't just in America, they are everywhere,

If this is your gripe, you need to do a little bit more studying to realize that is what America has always gone for. That is the goal, was the goal, and will continue to be the goal.

problem isn't America, it's the out-of-control wealth hoarding around the glob

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that America was formed with this goal in mind. White, slavery operated land ownership and the accumulation of capital is and always has been what america stood for.

One of the biggest is Putin, and once he eliminates America,

If you think Putin wants to destroy america for any reason beyond the fact that american imperialism is threatening his (also imperialist) nation, i dunno what to tell you.

Quit attacking the victims of the wealthy, and attack the wealthy themselves.

Go fuck yourself, liberal. You clearly don't have any understanding of what it means to be a victim, or who the wealthy are.

I'm not happy with the way life in America is going right now, but I still wouldn't trade it for Russian life. If Putin succeeds in sidelining America, then Europe is next.

People like me are trying to change America for the better. We all know about the stains America has left on the world, but America has also done a lot of good for the world as well. There is a battle for America's future, and a lot of us are hoping to take America in a new direction and redeem our nation's mixed legacy.

If you are cheering for HitlerPig's success, then you are literally cheering for Nazi rule, and if it takes root here, then it will go global next.
