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.
Oh god here we go lmfaooo
There is a very good chance this is a teenager because that's exactly the type of shit I used to say
Um, excuse you Ma'am, they have a hIsTorY dEgReE
The author of these sources
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin
Googled Alexander Dugin. Dude basically invented being a nazbol and citing him should be met with a LOT of skepticism. Im not reading some book by a fascist but these seems like using mein kampf as a source. Dubious as a source and sus that they even read it.
This guy is a dumb lib dweeb, but what he's saying is that "Dugninism" is the guiding philosophy of the RF and beloved by people like Putin. So he's not citing Mein Kampf on Mein Kampf's authority, he's pointing to people liking Mein Kampf and then explaining their actions in terms of what Mein Kampf says.
The critical difference being that Dugin's influence is wildly overstated and he's just sort of a cartoon villain for liberals to invent conspiracies about because he says a lot more wild stuff than Putin. Obviously Dugin is evil and has a political faction, but he's not some national puppetmaster.
I was saying its weird to be reading the guy in the first place like its weird to read nein Kampf
I don't think this guy actually reads Dugin as much as he is fed quotes from BlueAnon people, but it's actually a good thing to be familiar with the content of Mein Kampf because it destroys countless liberal myths about Germans having the Holocaust be kept secret from them, about the Soviets believing Hitler was their ally, that the future western Allies weren't tolerant of such things, and so on. Hitler really does lay out all the most important aspects of what the Nazis would go on to do, and people around the world read his book and unquestionably saw it coming, which is a very simple proof that certain liberal readings of history around these issues are completely false. Likewise, I think that if Dugin was really that important to Russia, it is a perfectly reasonable thing to be as familiar with his work because it would help you understand the Russian state and the reactions of various other parties. The main issue is that he isn't that important.
Remember, you can't defeat fascists at scale by being ignorant of them.
Im saying this guy is an idiot for citing an asshole, okay? Youre being annoying
He's not "citing" Dugin based on Dugin being credible, he is "citing" Dugin based on Dugin being a fascist menace. He's wrong (Dugin is a fascist, but not some central influence), but the line that you've copy/pasted in like four different places doesn't make sense.
I know, I'm just waiting for one of these BlueAnon libs to show any real proof that he's actually an influential figure in current day Russian politics. As far as I've been able to sus out, him and Putin have never even been in the same room together lol
Im separated by age and distance but yeah. Id be surprised if Putin could recall who the guy is if you mentioned the name to him
At least they claimed to read a book instead of just citing Wikipedia?
Yeah, and I gotta ask why the fuck theyre picked up this guy's book in the first place. This feels like using mein kampf as a citation...

This dude is like the og nazbol
I'll take your word for it, don't know anything about the guy. I guess I still prefer them to come outright and admit the fascism when they're militantly defending war crimes... makes it easier
