| [IsraelTimes] A Super Bowl halftime show performer was charged yesterday 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 say. Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, 41, turned himself in to authorities to face charges of resisting a police officer and disturbing the peace by interrupting a lawful assembly, police say. 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 thanks 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 says in a statement. The original event here, with additional reporting in comments here.

| #1 Man allegedly shot by Antonio Brown also staged a pro-Palestine protest during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX show The man allegedly shot by controversial former NFL star Antonio Brown has been identified as the protester who invaded the field during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show. Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, 41, of New Orleans, is listed as a victim after Brown was accused of firing off two rounds with a handgun outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood in the early hours of May 17. Nantambu told investigators that one of the rounds grazed his neck, according to the Associated Press. The 36-year-old former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver is wanted for attempted murder, with authorities calling for a $10,000 bond and house arrest pending trial, according to a Miami-Dade arrest warrant. Brown contests that he was a victim of attempted robbery. Most recent reports suggest that Brown has now fled the country. |
