SANTA MONICA\u2014Santa Monica Camera, a 25 years old local business, was looted and damaged on May 31 during the protest. Computers, cameras, lighting tools, and the owner\u2019s passport were stolen, and the windows were all broken. The store is now seeking help from the public.<\/p>\n

Santa Monica Camera, a 25 years old local business, was looted and damaged.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI was watching the news and I saw the protest. I think it is Santa Monica, so the looting is not likely to happen. There are so many police, and my store is very small, so they might not see it. I went to bed and thought my store may survive,\u201d Joe Padilla, the owner of Santa Monica Camera told Canyon News that on the day of protest, he kept telling himself that his store will survive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife came with me because she was afraid that I can’t handle it emotionally,\u201d Padilla said the next day when he saw windows were broken and merchandise was stolen, he was devastated. He also emphasized that he lost a lot of vintage cameras and that\u2019s hard to replace because the insurance doesn\u2019t cover it. \u201cEvery time I go look for something, it\u2019s missing. So, I\u2019m trying to make a list. A lot of stuff lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe nice thing about the community is that people come and help,\u201d said Padilla. He said many people have spontaneously helped him clean the store and he has received lots of supports during the difficult time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPlease be peaceful, my dad\u2019s business that he worked 20 years to build was hit last night. He did not deserve this. By posting this I am not saying that I am against the protest. All I am asking is to not use violence and hurt those that are on your side. He worked extremely hard and went through so much to get to this point. Please protest peacefully, please,\u201d said Padilla\u2019s daughter Kristina. She and her brother Kyle and her friend Brendan Beagin\u00a0organized a fundraiser on gofundme<\/a> to reach out to the community.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Computers, cameras, lighting tools, and the owner\u2019s passport were stolen, and the windows were all broken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI want to thank all of you that have donated, plan to donate, or have spread the word about my dad\u2019s store. The amount of love you have shown my family is unbelievable,\u201d said Kyle. \u201cAs you can all imagine, this has been a very trying week for my family. I don\u2019t know how else to describe what happened other than devastating and violating. I saw my dad\u2019s 25 years old business go up in smoke overnight… It was AWFUL. But as tough as it was to see how broken the store was, the part that killed me the most was seeing how broken my dad was. The pandemic had already done a number on his business, but this just seemed like the final blow…\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kyle expressed his gratitude to people who have helped his dad\u2019s business and given them supports. \u201cThe way you have rallied around my family is amazing to see. In a matter of DAYS, I\u2019ve seen my dad go from a broken man to a man with renewed hope, and that would have never been possible without all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still cleaning and haven\u2019t paid rent for three months. I\u2019m not qualified for a lot of programs such as paycheck protection program,\u201d Padilla said things are still really tough to him and he wants to at least keep the business running as far as he can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
