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.

      If you’re a Marxist-Leninist, you probably already know that soldiers in the Tsar’s imperialist army switching sides and becoming revolutionaries was an important part of the Bolshevik victory. Just something to think about, idk

        True actually imperialist mass murdering troops are based because of an unrelated event 100 years earlier.

        The Tsar’s troops deserted because they weren’t getting food and they were getting treated badly by the Tsar. Meaning you should be even more thankful for the cop shooting the mass murderer because that encourages other militant war criminals to desert their imperialist regime.
