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:
🇺🇸🇵🇸 A guy picked 9:11 p.m. on the 25th anniversary to sprint across Yankee Stadium with a Palestine flag.
It was the seventh inning of the Subway Series, bases loaded, when he came out of the left-field seats, and security dropped him on the grass.
The Bronx answered with USA…

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.
X users reacted to the stunt:
This is great advertising for why you should never vote dumbocrat.

Kudos to the beer throwers. Should have thrown the entire keg at him, though.

anyone associated with this idiot is not on the good guys side (that includes the people who feel represented by that fake flag)

They should have just put him back in the stands and left him to the crowd
