Il y a des gens qui vont démissionner à un moment, ou bien c'est admis dans l'imaginaire collectif qu'il est légitime de tirer des engins explosifs (et d'autoriser qu'on tire lesdits engins) sur des lycéens sans que personne ne se dise "ça va immédiatement me coûter ma place" ?

"J'ai vu sa main exploser"
L'accident s'est produit pendant un mouvement de foule d'après des élèves présents sur place. Des CRS sont intervenus et ont fait usage de gaz lacrymogène et de grenades de désencerclement. "On a voulu bloquer le lycée ce matin. On a commencé à se faire gazer alors qu'on n'a rien fait de mal", témoigne une lycéenne. "J'étais à côté du camarade qui s'est blessé. D'un seul coup, il a reçu quelque chose vers sa main et ça a explosé. J'ai vu sa main exploser", témoigne une autre élève. "C'est très choquant. J'ai failli vomir", continue-t-elle. "Il ne l'a pas ramassé, il l'a reçue sur sa main", insiste la lycéenne. Le préfet du Pas-de-Calais et le maire de Lens se sont rendus au lycée pour une conférence de presse.
