Bank Run: Eric Cantona Fans withdraw cash from accounts in France

A group of activists in Paris emptied their bank accounts on Tuesday after a call by football icon Eric Cantona to protest against practices by leading banks. About a dozen activists from French anti-capitalist group "Save the rich" marched in Paris on Tuesday and withdrew money from a branch of Societe Generale. The protesters, dressed in yellow and black prisoners costumes or neon green wigs and boas, then opened accounts with a nearby branch of Credit Cooperatif bank. Activist groups have seized on a call by former France and Manchester United star Cantona in October for depositors to empty their bank accounts.

I'm a Man Utd fan, if his call is true and if his deed is work. I'm glad that a football star can and do care for society's plight and suffering.
