After being hit in the face by rubber-coated lead bullet.

Anti-government protesters in France believe Yellow Vest leader Jérôme Rodrigues was deliberately targeted and called for “a mass uprising” against President Macron’s government following the wounding.

Philippe de Veule, Rodrigues’s lawyer, confirmed his client has been “placed in an artificial coma” and was likely to be “handicapped for life”.

Rodrigues was in Place de la Bastille, one of the French capital’s most famous squares, during rioting on Saturday afternoon when he was hit in the right eye.

Good grief. I'm thinking these mass protests are not worth doing.
