Protesters attack small businesses on the violent day of protests in Paris: "Why are you doing this?"

This Saturday, France was the scene of serious scenes of violence, looting and looting in the context of protests against the cost of living that degenerated into wild riots that have left very shocking images.

Videos recorded in cities such as Paris, Lyon or Nice have circulated on social networks, showing how extremist protesters attack not only large stores and commercial franchises, but also did not discriminate and destroy small businesses, whose owners were helpless in the face of the destructive fever.

In one of the videos, recorded in Paris, a young protester tries to stand in front of the violent people: "Stop! Why are you doing this? This is not the cause!" she exclaims.

She is soon forced to give up due to the push of the looters, who blurt out "he's not your father!", in reference to the store employee, who witnesses in amazement how the young people devastate his grocery store.

"What's the point of doing this?" the young woman continues to ask herself, on the verge of tears, while another protester takes her away: "You're going to get hurt, they can't understand it," she tells him. Inside the store, absolute chaos.

In another video, also recorded in Paris, a man tries to close the shutter of his business while about twenty protesters, covered in hoods, sneak inside to get him out: "I work all year round!" says the shopkeeper, powerless against the impulse of the violent ones.

In Lyon, a video shows a florist recounting the looting of her store. "They wanted to hit us, they took the box... My mother was present, she is 70 years old," says the young woman, who remembers that she works daily.

Another video, recorded in Nice, shows the owner of a comic book store defending his business, while violent people attack him and throw objects at him, laughing and mocking him.
