What a punishment. Not hobnobbing with reptiles...😥

In America he’d be in Congress and host his own podcast spewing conspiracy theory

Extremes of anything are not good!

yeah, definitely looks like you typical far right extremist.

Mixed feelings as I sit here in Northern California. I’m sorry this happened to anyone but I’m glad (or sad?) to see Americans don’t gave the market cornered on acting like assholes.

4 months doesn't sound like it's enough. Kudos to the French though, they really know how to make sure that justice is certain. No waiting for months years before trial.

And meanwhile, the US slowly drags its feet for months over doing anything about the events of 1/6...

4 months doesn't sound like it's enough. Kudos to the French though, they really know how to make sure that justice is inevitable. No waiting for months/years before trial.

Pathetic to even charge the guy.

What a script. Emanuel straight forwarded to that guy and got slapped. Bruh..!!! That wasn't even a slap. Nobody slaps like that. Watched the video again n again. It's a 'Inside Job' to get the attention.

They call themselves Patriots in America too, wrap themselves up in our flag and attend patriotic events but their very actions desecrate the very flag they wave because they don’t understand that their actions are in conflict with what that flag stands for.

Or give him a medal for revealing how unsafe the president is and instead punish the security? 🤔

And in the US he'd be running for Congress the day after getting out with conspiracy theories running amok about how he bravely fought against a global criminal ring run by the radical left and antifa.

Note that it took two days to bring this to a close.

Be precise : Not extreme right but far-right (ultra in French) and Gilet jaune Yellow jacket too or Deaths of despair you know right ?

They obv don’t like these office holders anyways lol!

Wait I thought it was progressives that didn't like Macron b/c they felt he was too moderate & linked to capitalism? Right wing extremists don't also? TF?

An extreme right-wing Frenchman can deliver a Vichyious slap.

That’s ridiculous. They had a trial and conviction in Two days and sentenced him to Four months! for a *slap.* That’s scary and Ridiculous. France has less and less freedom. A slap...

Would Macron get 4 months in prison if he slapped the man?

Just 4 months though?

After the 4 months, he will never need to buy a pint again. 🍻

4 months is too little tbh

And at the current rate chrump will me president again before the idiots from January 6 will be tried.

Barred from ever holding office..? Why does that seem weird to me?

This is how it's done.

'Barred from holding office' 😃 😂 Another political career ruined. 😔

good

games gone soft
