French store worker who went viral for defying rioters speaks out

Pierre, a sales assistant at Micromania in Nice, has been praised after footage showed him trying to protect his workplace from looters during recent French protests. Videos captured him blocking the entrance and chasing looters away before he was kicked to the ground. Despite his efforts, the store was ransacked, leaving Pierre and his colleagues without a workplace. After fake fundraisers reportedly appeared online, Pierre launched an official fundraiser to support himself and his colleagues as they face an uncertain future.
