Woman Tries to Throw Flashbang Back at Law Enforcement, Fails – Twitchy

If you look at Minneapolis X, you’ll be faced with a bunch of posts claiming that a woman was hit in the hand with a non-lethal weapon fired by federal law enforcement, and either sustained a serious injury or, in many posts, had her hand blown clean off. Here’s one:

BREAKING: A woman was struck by “less-than-lethal” munitions, sustaining a serious injury to her hand. She collapsed to the ground as multiple bystanders called for a medic. #Minneapolis #Protest pic.twitter.com/XeFBJvMmh5

A supposed doctor posted that caption with that video. We can all see what happened.

Terrorist thought it was a good idea to pick up a flashbang before it exploded and won the Darwin Award of the day during yesterday’s insurrection. pic.twitter.com/cKE2iZxlwZ

Yeah, you really need to hurl that thing a lot more quickly.

OMG is right, this is what stupid looks like

Dad: “You won’t be doing that again now, will you? Hurts, doesn’t it?”

It’s like watching people getting mauled by the bulls when they “run with the bulls”

Don’t try to pick up a tear gas grenade. They’re kind of hot.

Don’t pick up flashbangs.
They go bang.

Are you using “A woman was struck” to mean “a braindead idiot picked up a grenade”?

How did that happen when she was peacefully standing with a sign, perhaps?

Oh, she wasn’t.

She has all her fingers in one piece. I’m thinking it’s more likely she picked up a smoke canister wanting to throw it back, but didn’t realize they get kinda hot when they are smoking. 90% of the video was left-wing drama/LARPing.

That was the worst acting yet at these protests.

I’ve seen better acting in a Steven Segal movie

Some say she deserves an Oscar, while others say she deserves a Golden Globe. Most have nominated her for a Darwin Award.
