As rioters have left a trail of destruction all across France, one shopkeeper channeled his inner hero to defend his business' doors.

A man known only as Pierre has become an online hero for his recent defense of a video game store, and his image will likely live on forever as a meme.

'I can't intellectualize what happened. Maybe it will come a little after the battle.'

Pierre is a salesman at the Micromania store in Nice, France, a chain owned by GameStop. During the seemingly unending violence that gripped the country over the weekend, Pierre stood up to rioters who were attempting to break into the shop, which already had its security doors down and its front door broken.

In a video seen by over 4 million viewers, Pierre marched down one rioter who taunted him, but as he walked back to his entrance, he was blindsided from behind with a kick.

However, Pierre got right back up and was later seen calmly adjusting his glasses as he remained steadfast at the entrance. To make his story even more iconic, he was pictured in the doorway alongside a life-sized photo of popular anime character Goku from the show "Dragonball Z."

A photo of his stance has already reached tens of millions worldwide, with Pierre humbly telling French outlet ICI that he likely shouldn't have engaged with the rioters.

"I can't intellectualize what happened. Maybe it will come a little after the battle," he remarked.

"I think it shouldn't have been done anyway," he said of his actions. "It's stupidity. But in the moment, that's what I did."

"Thank you so much. My team and I are deeply touched," Pierre reportedly said in response to the support he's received.

After allegedly suffering some wounds during his attack — likely from shattered glass — a fundraiser was set up to support him and the store.

"Donations are made to support Pierre," the fundraisers wrote, while also noting to be aware of scams as Pierre did not ask for anything to be promoted on his behalf.

At the time of this writing, the donation page had reached over $11,000.

Pierre's image already seems like it will withstand the test of time with supporters creating memes like this AI video of him performing a powered attack on rioters akin to the anime character he stood beside.

Another page has animated him into being his own hero, and it doesn't appear such posts will cease anytime soon.

There will be an asterisk on Pierre's record though, at least for some of his supporters. The salesman said that while it was very nice to see gamers stand up and support one another, he made sure to qualify that the rioters did not represent the true ideology of the left-wing protests.

"We must not forget that it remains in the minority in terms of attitude," Pierre explained. "For the rest of the procession, things went rather well. There are a few bad apples, but that's not the majority," he claimed.

The riots in Europe are a warning sign of unchecked immigration policy, according to Nick Freitas.

In his latest documentary, the former Green Beret said that mass migration will eventually lead to the downfall of the West, through ever-growing resistance and a refusal to assimilate.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan has revealed a nefarious plot to dissuade young people from joining the Republican Party.

Slotkin was speaking at the University of Chicago on Tuesday when she said Democrats are gearing up to prosecute Republicans and scare young people from being more active in the Republican Party.

'She is exactly the fascist she’s been lecturing the rest of us about.'

"I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president but on the people who enabled him," said Slotkin.

"I want young people coming out of school to say, 'Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity.' I want them to be like, 'Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that,'" she continued.

"I want that deterrence message," Slotkin concluded.

Video of her plan was posted to social media, where she was criticized heavily. It went viral with millions of views, including by her colleagues in the Senate.

"It is absolutely disgraceful to threaten young Americans for participating in politics and serving their country," responded Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).

"Spare me the pearl-clutching — especially from Republican Members of Congress and online MAGA grifters who have cheered President Trump's weaponization of the government against those he doesn’t like, as recently as last week," Slotkin responded, apparently referring to the raid on the D.C.-area home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Slotkin also cited the Trump administration investigating her participation in a video calling on U.S. military members to "refuse illegal orders."

"President Trump has turned the government against people, with raucous support from you and virtually all D.C. Republicans. So spare us the manufactured outrage," she added to Lee.

Others on social media lambasted Slotkin for the comments.

"She intends to unleash a slew of investigations to deter young people from even considering supporting the Administration ... if they know what is good for them," replied legal expert Jonathan Turley.

"Incredibly unAmerican. She is exactly the fascist she’s been lecturing the rest of us about," read one response.

"What amazes me most is that they don’t even try to hide the fraud and contempt," replied another critic. "They feel so secure in their DC jobs and immune to consequences they don’t put much effort into masking it."

"Are we living in a Soviet Commie world? She is threatening people who want to be part of MAGA — that she is hoping to arrest us. Who the @#$# does she think she is!?" said one detractor.

"Dead party. No message whatsoever. Just destroy or deny opposition. She’s so perverse. So insane. She has no business in government whatsoever," said another.

The raid at Omar's home was part of an investigation into the circumstances of her immigration from Somalia to the U.S. She is also under investigation for possible financial crimes related to her disclosures.

France is seeing some of the worst violence in its streets in decades as demonstrations have turned into property damage and looting.

As hundreds of thousands have blocked roads in different cities over the weekend, French outlets are claiming that the protests are in response to ever-rising energy costs and students who are upset with their school conditions.

'We are proud to announce that we are blocking the largest museum in the world.'

However, French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has described some of the worst protesters as far-left and "ultra-left" politically, and there have been many viral moments in the European country that scream of progressive ideology, mirroring protests that have happened worldwide in the last decade.

1. Burning down the state

Public buildings, luxury boutiques, and supermarkets were targets of rioters, who attacked police cars as well as officers, according to Reuters.

The city of Limoges had its city hall set on fire, while in Marseille protesters busted their way into city hall and tagged it with anarchist graffiti. The city tourism office in Lyon was also seen engulfed in flames.

2. Louvre protest backlash

Students led a blockade at the entrance of the Louvre and denounced "police repression," Newsweek reported. The incident involved blocking the front doors of the historic museum while performing music.

In a video seen by millions of viewers, tourists are outraged that their time and money has been wasted as the pseudo-buskers block the entrance. The tourists chant at the protesters and give them the middle finger.

"The tourists who are waiting are aggressive with us because they've paid for their tickets," one of the protesters reportedly said. However, the group also allegedly distributed leaflets that read, "We are proud to announce that we are blocking the largest museum in the world."

3. The unfazed jogger

"Those who destroyed must pay," French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday. "Those who looted must pay back. Those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable."

As the destruction and dismay was evident through burned property, masked rioters, and smoke in the air, one Paris resident went viral for her apparent composure through the ordeal.

A woman wearing a sports bra, shorts, and a jacket tied around her waist has been the subject of several videos where she is seen casually jogging through the chaos and past a pile of burning bikes.

The camera then pans to show the woman running passed dozens of masked protesters and toward a sea of demonstrators, all dressed in black. Another burning fire with thick, black smoke is seemingly her next destination.

4. Your city tomorrow?

Millions have already watched at least four French police vehicles get violently attacked by rioters in Paris in another viral video.

As the cop cars drive by with sirens blaring, about a dozen rioters dressed in black attempt to smash the vehicles with rocks, debris, and other objects.

With literal sparks flying, one rioter even turns to the camera and is seen smiling as they record the dirty work on their phone.

"Paris today. Your city tomorrow?" the post on X asked, followed by, "Where are you, President Emmanuel Macron?"

5. The warning

Western nations are in grave danger of being overrun by people who have "no love or appreciation for it," warns Nick Freitas in the documentary "The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West."

Freitas talks about the betrayal of politicians and the ever-growing demographic changes in the West, stemming from poor policy that includes mass asylum claims from countries like Pakistan, while immigration systems let in countless economic migrants from the third world.

6. Posing for the camera

A group of rioters are happy in another video to relish in their spoils and pose for the camera in front of trashed streets and raging fires. As some give the camera the middle finger, rioters in the background of the group grunt in unison. One even waves what appears to be a mannequin's leg.

The post from Visegrad 24, a news curator in Central Europe, described the scene as "young 2nd and 3rd-generation migrant rioters" who had gathered to celebrate setting Paris on fire.

It is unclear who the rioters are, but the post noted that they "proudly give the French people the finger in the picture."

7. Cordial monsters

In another viral video, a woman who appears to support the protests attempts to disavow looters at a grocery mart but fails as they calmly work around her efforts.

"But why are you doing this?" the woman asks the looters, according to a translation. "Arretez!" she yells, meaning "stop."

The woman then tries to block the entrance to the store while saying, "That's not the cause."

Unperturbed, the looters gently remove her from the entrance and then cheer as they help each other inside to continue stealing. One male grabs the woman and takes her aside, saying, "You are going to hurt yourself."

"They won't be able to listen to reason!" the man adds.

"What's the point of doing that?!" the woman screams back.

Nearly in tears, she turns to the camera in distress before walking away. The camera then pans to the looters inside as a helpless shopkeeper stands in the store.
