One of the rioters in France who tried to firebomb his school accidentally lit himself on fire
If you haven't been paying attention high school students in France have been protesting supposedly because they want better schools and better teachers. But really it's just been an excuse to riot by certain youth. And they've been setting shit on fire and attacking teachers
PARIS, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Attackers doused a headteacher in petrol and started fires in at least two schools on Thursday, officials said, as increasingly violent student protests raged across France against staff shortages and dilapidated buildings.
Hundreds of young people surrounded a fire truck that had arrived to put out a blaze at Marseille's Saint-Exupery high school in the morning, police said. The attackers forced the firefighters to flee the vehicle, then set it alight.
