Horrible is the only word that comes to mind to describe the protest. It was suppose to be a peaceful march that allowed us to let others know about our feelings. We had about 7,000 people of all ages, come to support our cause. However, between our chants and the sounds of our moving feet a horrible action was been done. We do not know how it started but we do know that police started attacking some of the people. According to some sources that have yet to be investigated many of our friends started been attack in a small store at the corner of the park we were protesting in. People were been beaten everywhere and we had no other option but to help our people and fight back. I wonder if this was all a plan to make us seem bad and out of control? Whatever the cause for this was, it will not discourage us from fighting from what we believe is bad. Not only did adults get hurt but children were hurt too, additionally some people that were in the protest were arrested. From what I know there were 3 dead persons including Ruben Salazar an L.A Times reporter. I cannot tell you how sad this makes me, yesterdays protest look like a hunt against us, we looked like the prey. Many people were knocking on doors, pleading that someone will let them in so they wouldn't get hurt. This has been something that hurts to write about but like Gloria Anzaldua, I cannot let this events be erase.
