You clearly don’t know the American legal system and how you can make these lawsuits and for the sake of not dealing with it get a payout as advised by the defenses legal team.

Didn't give Wagner the right to intervene...no matter how funny it was. The guy will probably get a settlement out of it.

lol. You should go carry a flammable device into crowded confines and see just how far peoples right to stop you extends.

Let's check back later and see how your "probably get a settlement out of it" assumption pans out. Cause I can assure you the NFL won't be setting a precedent of paying out for this. On the contrary, they may even make an example out of him.

Wagner could have reasonably believed the guy was a potential danger to others (not knowing the guy’s intent, but seeing his actions, which were highly erratic for the given situation) so he took the initiative to stop the man.

Yeah, no way this turns into a settlement. That would encourage too many idiots.

Too much potential danger for a person not to defend themselves.

He was literally smoking. Guy could have been wearing a bomb; endangering the lives of everyone in the stadium. He needed to be in law enforcement custody asap.

Probably enough to cover his medical bills, but he’s not going to get rich.

He'll be lucky if law enforcement doesn't pursue criminal charges (flammable devices in a packed stadium is no joke) or the the NFL don't sue the hell out of him, not to mention the security guard that was injured chasing him down.

Only Gen Z watches something like that and thinks "hey, that's a legitimate protester who's not responsible for the consequences of his actions".
