Smack!: You Must Be Pretty Cuz I Just Hit You

When summer 2006 approached it had been almost five years since I had set foot in the city of angels. Two weeks after my homecoming I got beat up, and voila: an interesting case study considering youth violence in the US and the loopholes of the law that make such violence possible; how easy it is for a person to fall between the chairs of a system in a country where the safety net called social security is limited to nonexistent. This book will describe how five people, for what seemed no reason at all, assaulted and beat me up in a nightclub on famous Sunset Boulevard. In plain view of several bystanders who did absolutely nothing to help. When you dig a bit deeper, the reasoning behind the assault and the actions of those called to the scene to help are as disturbing as the incident itself; "Violence is as American as Cherry Pie."
