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.

      They fuck shit up in France when things aren’t going the way they want.

      As it happens, France has some of the strongest worker protection laws on the planet.

      If they’re not afraid of you, they’re only going to use you.

        These two might be related.

      This is Lemmy, an anti-authoritarian anarchist bubble, where protestors are always 100% good and the state is always 100% bad. You can’t post balanced news reporting here. /s

      It’s kinda funny how the left say they are so different from the right but use the same bubble mechanics where unwanted opinions are filtered out/suppresed lol. Horseshoe theory checks out lol.

        Here, for you: A cop trying to pass as a protester launches a projectile to justify anti-riot cops charging what’s otherwise a peaceful protest.

        After that please come back explain about what “authorities” said about the protests.

        We have videos and testimonies, full load of them. The state has “reports”.

        And some ****** have uninformed opinions based on their prejudice towards the platform they’re on…
