Zahalea Anderson's business burned to the ground in Long Beach. Then a complete stranger stepped in to help.

LONG BEACH, Calif. — As she climbed into her car Monday at dawn to go see what was left of her business, Zahalea Anderson tried to remain optimistic.It was the morning after a peaceful Long Beach demonstration demanding justice for George Floyd devolved into violence and mayhem. Swarms of looters armed with hammers and crowbars used Sunday’s protest as an excuse to vandalize and ransack Long Beach retailers.

For Anderson, it was devastating to see her martial arts school covered in broken glass, soot and debris. Long Beach residents have come to the school to learn the art of self defense since Anderson’s father started offering jiu jitsu classes in his backyard more than a quarter century ago. Someone on Hosep’s timeline had tweeted support for Anderson alongside screenshots of two Facebook posts that she had written that morning.

“I was like, ‘Is this real?’ ” Anderson said. “I wasn’t sure whether to believe it. It seemed too good to be true.” On the one hand, Anderson strongly supports the fight to end police brutality against black people. The mother of two hopes that sometime in her children’s lifetime, “they can walk down the street and not feel that this might be their last breath.”
