A 15-year-old student has had their hand blown off after picking up a stun grenade being used by police as mass school protests continue across France, local authorities said.
The incident comes as nearly 500 schools are expected to be completely or partially closed following student protests across the country over dilapidated schools and classrooms, overcrowding and teacher shortages preceding a nationwide day of demonstrations on Tuesday.
OK, so I’ve been justifying Russians because it’s more risk if you go to a protest, and police can outright kill you without any problem (that we’ll know about and consider fitting), and a different situation and tra-la-la, but honestly perhaps there are societies more cowardly in general with children brought up in obedience, and there are better societies.
People here exchanging experiences of throwing nasty shit right back at the police and still being free (of what it looks like from their comments), - that’s something really inspiring.
And perhaps I’m a coward, haven’t gone to a single protest in my life, except for a couple of speeches with unfortunate audience, eh, not sure how that affected what transpired after.
