how was kicking the nazi not already community service?

thanks for the YouTube link @op... (I like this screen recording feature)

I'd say "Come to the U.S.!", but his legs would probably get tired. There are a lot of those folks to kick over here.

We should be kicking til we can't find them

How did Cantona know the guy was scum? I couldn't see much of him so I'm curious.
valdbagina69420
Cantona is a fucking legend for many reasons
philmoregraves
Drink beer, kill nazis, fuck it

Seems to me he's already done his community service.

Who comes up with this shit ? It had nothing to do with nazism. This was just a dickhead fan abusing him.
xmaneds
his court-ordered Community Service was "must perform anti-fascism for his community"

How did he know he was a nazi/fascist? I though he was just called a cunt by him

Nazi has a particular connotation, I don't see that quote meeting it. Nationalist asshole? Yes, Nazi? No. If I'm wrong, explain it to me.

If you read the linked article talking about the guy, yeah he was a racist nazi, but you have to click that link.

I'm not sure racist fits here either... Do British folks consider French folks to be another race?

LOL. Yes. England and France is one of the most bitter rivalries in history.

He should’ve been awarded a medal.
thepoopstore
England's laws regarding stuff like this are worse than the United States..not sure the details but my buddy in Manchester says it sucks
beziot
It was quite a long time ago, from what i remember the dude called Éric a nazi scum, that's why Éric decided to kick him. So maybe no medal?
DidSomebodyCallForAnAdult
While the guy was later found to have some poor political history, there wasn't clear indication of this at the time.
DidSomebodyCallForAnAdult
Cantona was well known to have a temper on the field. He got ejected from a game for kicking another player during this incident.
DidSomebodyCallForAnAdult
On his way off the field, a fan yelled at him to "go back to France" (poor decision, but can't call that "Nazi" behavior from a hooligan).
MrE158
My memory of the incident was that an insult directed towards Cantona's mother was the thing that pushed him over the edge.
DidSomebodyCallForAnAdult
Cantona then went and jumped into the stands, kicking the man and subsequently started to punch him.
T3NM1DG3TS
The dude was literally doing a Roman salute while he yelled that at cantona
martineb72
Not fascism. Racist or nationalist really. Guy was yelling about going back to France. This was after the other team wasn't getting carded.
gunshowzero
Isn’t the guy literally giving the Bellamy salute in the picture?
skapanda616
So another common term for a racist nationalist would be....?
Passenger56
A xenophobe
martineb72
So he was already upset. Then you get this loudmouth that set him off.
Handyolo
Doesn't this adhere to their "kick it out" policy? Not sure why they punished him.
DarPhyve
He should have aimed for the head
Boris23
What the guy yelled was racist, according to Cantona. Well and good, it's not the first time the dude was shown as being racist.
Boris23
Nazi's are racist, but racists aren't all nazis. It's a squares and rectangles thing. Kick him for being a racist ass, but
Boris23
don't try to sensationalize it. There are 14 hallmarks of fascism, and this guy meets maybe 3 of them.
Boris23
Don't overuse the word to the point of meaninglessness. It reduces the importance for the times that it should be used.
P0werSurg3
I watched the clip but didn't see what prompted the kick. How was that man a fascist?
magicbryanconnolly
He was a regular attender of extremely far right rallies. BNP and NF. Basically UK Nazis.
MrPoopyPantz

First I’ve heard of the guy being a nazi, I think this is bullshit? I remember the incident, well.

Yeh that's no being a nazi. That's just regular old xenophobia

valdbagina69420
I mean a better thing to do here would be to accept the guy was an asshole but maybe not a Nazi and look for proof or move on
CanadianEngineer
Yup, exactly. It’s not “your point wasn’t perfect so it’s wrong,” it’s “your point wasn’t perfect, make the small adjustment to improve it.”
CanadianEngineer
This kind of response ruins productive dialogue. It is *critical* to listen to constructive criticism from people *on your side*.
BSwann
Sadly
CanadianEngineer
It’s what makes your arguments stronger. Stronger arguments are what actually effect change. Effecting change *has* to be the end goal.

Papers at the time reported he went to BNP and NF rallies https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/oct/31/newsstory.sport2
W92Baj
Both nationalist and racist, not nazi
Cephalyx
Could you explain the difference between a racist nationalist and a nazi for me?
W92Baj
Ideology mostly.
svcAlex
Historically the nazis were racist nationalist,that doesn't mean every racist nationalist is a nazi. Today I think they are used identically
HahaA10GoBrrrr
Nazi is an abbreviation of National Socialist German Workers’ Party. How they got Nazi out of that is beyond me. I think it just got popular
HahaA10GoBrrrr
to brand all racist, right wing, authoritarians as Nazis. Outside of skinheads and Aryan groups, I think that brush is overused.
fatsspringfield
May we all get such an opportunity in life
beziot
This is kinda misleading. Éric decided to kick the dude bc the dude called him nazi scum. It was quite a long time ago.
JacksNaggingProcrastination
I’d rather they weren’t around, but that’s not realistic. Remember to follow through and use the ball of your foot or shin, not your toe.

We do. They call themselves Republicans now and they probably live on your street. Kick away.

Hey, its me a facist. But you'll have to cash app me the 18000 before the kick.

I have had the good fortune of having to kick down a door. It felt great. This would literally feel 10 times better!

Punching nazis works though. Richard Spencer got punched and stopped doing public appearances out of fear. Stopped doing public stunts and-

I honestly believe this is exactly why there are nazis in America
pfshfine
It also probably didn't help that the US government snatched up nazi scientists like they were pokemon after the war.
neutronfish
You should probably look into how wildly popular fascist ideology was in America before WW2. Nazis has confabs in Madison Square Garden.
idkalan
There were Nazi pride rallies as well, the similarities with the KKK made them have even more support. They did slow down once the US joined
GTimgur
Why? That doesn't make any sense. If anything those families are more aware of what it means.
rshini
it really doesn't help that due to trauma and a 'men suck it up' attitude in the era that most vets take the horror stories to their graves.
rshini
as the comic shows not always, some grandkids/great grandkids are removed from the horrors and become fascinated by the trophies
GTimgur
Maybe, but that's way different from -becoming- one.

This reminds me, need to trash some of grandpa's trophies.

Er, why are you worried they'd end up in Nazi hands? Do you really believe that's likely?
ChaosScythe
Please please please give them to a museum or academic society. Throwing those to the dump would be an abhorrent waste

Should look into giving them to a museum or something. Nothing better than putting on display an example of failure.

Consider this carefully if you’re ever thinking about punching a Nazi: lock your wrist so your big knuckles are in line with your forearm.

I was awakened from sleep by an open handed slapped on the ear; it was clumsily executed and still left me in pain for days.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
If done properly, it can be extremely effective, both for pain and disorientation.
prose11396
Use open hand slap. Just as or even more painful, less damage (so they have less to come after you), and less likely you’ll break something.
FetteredJuvenescence
The damage is the point. Ideally punch the windpipe.
665NeighborOfTheBeast
You can still get a concussion from a hard slap. I love this video, he's like hey, hol up, let's talk this out...
TreasonousCheeto
In the full version, the Nazi challenges the guy, then holds his hands up the moment big man calls him on it.
