A couple of interesting and gory videos out of France showing the damage that “less than lethal” weapons can do when fired from the French police into the eyes of protestors. Another shows a protestor now short one right hand; some are saying he got shot in the hand with a “rubber bullet” that blew his hand off (seems unlikely to me), other are saying he picked up what he thought was a tear gas grenade and it turned out to be something sportier like a flash-bang.
I have no idea who’s the good guy/bad guy here. For all I know, it’s Macron and the bureaucrats vs. Antifa. In which case…shrug. But I suspect that even in France if you start blowing the protestors to pieces, there just might be some fallout.
#HORRIFIC: Graphic footage shows a women who was shot by a rubber bullet in her eye. You can hear the people screaming when they saw the rubber bullet inside her eye. Absolutely gruesome!#GiletsJaunes
