I mean, right now there are students protests in France.
One student had his hand blown off by a police grenade launcher, and something like 50 officers were injured.
They don't fuck around
It's almost like you actually have to fight for your rights or something.
His hand was because he picked up a flash grenade to try and throw it back. But yeah, the current protests are rough. A few thousand people detained and a few hundred officers injured last I heard iirc.
So? What was a flash grenade doing on the ground for him to pick up in the first place?
What the fuck do I care? All I'm saying is what happened. I'm not here trying to argue anything other than correcting that his hand wasn't "blown off by a grenade launcher".
Mmm. Clearly.
Ok? Not sure what moral superiority fumes you are trying to sniff but have fun with that. ๐
