The Zotsuit Riots and the Sleepy Lagoon Murder Trial

The sleepy lagoon murder trial, which happens a year before the riots and is considered a precursor to them. A brawl breaks out at a birthday party near that near sleepy lagoon. The next day 17 mexican american teans are associated with the so called 30 eighth street gang. And this is another thing, as a lot of los angeles, which is now over developed and crazy was rural. So th these kids who lived around 30 eighth street that hung out together are a gang, when really it's just ten agers hanging out together.
