      On December 10th, at around 6 p.m., 200 environmental activists suddenly stormed and “invaded” a Lafarge company cement factory of La Malle in Bouc-Bel-Air in the Bouches-du-Rhone, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in Southern France. Infrastructure at the plant was reportedly attacked using a variety of methods, including: sabotage of incinerators and electrical systems and devices; cable cutting; bags of cement cut open and spilled; damage to vehicles and construction equipment; damaged windows; and graffiti spraying.

            No. Such insurances are mandatory by law; in extremis, a government agency would force an insurance to take the risk.

            What will sooner happen is the factory installing higher and thoughervfences, install security cameras, keep dogs on th grounds and hire security.

          I’ve never heard of insurance for large scale projects which can lose tends of thousands to millions of dollars per operations day lost. That’s normally eaten by the company’s savings or loans. Maybe it’s different in France.

          Individual action is what spin everything to begin with, don’t downplay it. If you teach everyone good ethics these companies are over in 24h

    I watched with no audio, but was there something that made it appropriate for the ranger to pull a gun on those protesters?

    I don’t know that blocking a road like an asshat merits deadly force.
