Hazardous day at the office

I had the following conversation a few minutes ago via text with Bill:

BILL: It is getting interesting here. A student just shot a firework into the building. It broke the window and filled the stairway with smoke. Luckily no one was hurt.

ME: Not good! Is the gendarme just watching from their windows? (note: gendarme is the national police. They have a post across the street from Cat)

BILL: Yes.

ME: Now I have to worry about you.

BILL: No worries.

ME: You gonna get locked in tonight?

BILL: (…) was hurt

ME: What?

LONG PAUSE

ME: I don’t understand. Who was hurt? What’s being done to keep you safe?

BILL: No one was hurt.

BILL: The police will be called.

ME: Soon?

BILL: The student that shot off the firework was quickly taken away by the union.

    Looks like the union has more control of the situation than the police. If nobody in France gets laid off because of the law, what’s the beef they have? Or are they protesting in behalf of their offshore brotheren? Or can anyone really tell?
