Santa Monica was a tale of two movements Sunday afternoon ... peaceful protesters and looters.

People literally tried physically removing her from her spot, yanking her away and even throwing fireworks at her to shoo her off. The lady didn't budge though ... she kept coming back.

Luckily, a guy finally came and joined her in trying to ward off would-be looters -- so, it's clear not everyone is out there trying to break into businesses and take what they can. The situation in Santa Monica has gotten so tense, the city has now announced a 4 PM curfew ... well before nightfall. Unclear how effective it's going to be without the enforcement of cops on the ground -- things seem to be getting out of hand there quickly.Just ask the driver of this Amazon van -- which was also getting looted at one point in the day. Bad apples have taken matters into their hands and turned it into an ugly narrative.
