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.

    Nah, people will always try to spin it like they did nothing wrong to begin with. I’m not saying it wasn’t the other parties fault as well, but it’s NEVER their fault and the NEVER did anything.

    It works across about everything. I used to fix iPhones (back when you could) and about 3x a day people came in with broken screens and it was NEVER their fault and they just couldn’t figure out how it broke. Save for maybe half a dozen that actually said “I dropped it” or “I sat on it”. They didn’t even have a reason to lie to me, I didn’t even care I make the same regardless.

      Oh I love giving my atupid reasons the phone is broken. Like, it doesn’t just magically shatter, obviously I broke the thing. My favorite one so far is “Apple Care doesn’t cover heavy scratches, but to trade this thing in, it can’t have heavy scratches?” walks outside, takes off case, not so gently tosses phone into the air “You won’t believe this……”
