Palestinian activist gets all-American welcome when he storms field at Yankee Stadium

A pro-Palestine protester stormed the field at Yankee Stadium on September 11th, and the response he received was all-American.

The man who ran onto the grass during the 9/11 25th Anniversary game in New York has been identified. The NYPD is charging 36-year-old Long Island resident Kelly Marcucci with interference with a professional sporting event and trespassing after he allegedly decided to make himself the main character of the memorial game.

Watch:

The tasteless demonstration took place at exactly 9:11 pm, in the seventh inning of the Yankees-Mets Subway Series game.

While waving the Palestinian flag was undoubtedly meant to send a message to watchers, the audience wasted no time in sending one back. They booed and chanted “USA, USA” as security tackled and detained the man, and some even took things a step further by throwing food and drinks at him as he was hauled off the field.

According to the New York Post, the suspect “went off on a nonsensical tangent about capitalism, Zionism, Saudi Arabia and 9/11, mentioning a string of high-profile people including President Trump and Joe Rogan” during a Facebook rant just hours before charging the field.
