Looters attacked a local REI during protests in Santa Monica on Sunday afternoon but their plan was foiled by a couple protecting the store.
In the videos below you can see a woman getting tossed around by looters as she attempts to block them from breaking the store’s windows.

Her friend eventually was able to back her up and stood next to her as the looters scurried off.

Wwe’re here for the protests but when we see people looting it defeats the cause so we decided we would come here and if we see anything happen, any violence or anything that shouldn’t happen, we’re going to try and best and stop it
