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.
