Do the Schalker

To "do the Schalker," also known as the "Gelsenkirchen Goodbye" (GG), is a specific act of street violence, commonly attributed to FC Schalke 04 Hooligans, which involves brutally kicking a person after they are already on the ground and defenseless. The act itself has no direct connection to the sport of football, but is rather a form of assault often triggered by something as innocuous as the victim taking a photograph.

I thought it was a parade and wanted to take pictures, but they were Schalke Hools who shoved me to the ground and were about to do the Schalker.
