August 29, 1970 is the day that marks chicano history. That day in Los Angeles Luis has decided to go out and see what has been happening or what is going on. Most chicanos did not want to go to the Vietnam war. They are marching and protesting so they do not have to go to war. Luis was just walking around until he decided he wanted to steal a pack of beer but the store that he decided to steal, his friends had already beaten him. Since there was already a robbery at a store the owner had to close it for the day. He then decided not to go through it after all. Luis went to the park where a police officer had told him to move or he was going to get shot in the head. Luis did not want to get shot so he moved. Later on the officer threw Luis down to the floor and arrested him. There are jails that are assigned to kids under 18 but since they were Mexicans the police deputies did not care. Although all of his cell mates respected him. Luis knew a kid from Aliso Viejo housing projects. The kid that he knew, he had killed a teacher. Luis did not show any fear and moved on. He later started playing cards with him and became friends.
