Register Sign In About this site Oscar Zeta Acosta edit=false; thepage=0; Oscar Zeta Acosta [Login to edit this page] Acosta was born in El Paso, Texas, and raised in a small San Joaquin Valley rural town named Riverbank near Modesto, California. Acosta's father was drafted during World War II, so he had to take care of the family. At times, Acosta felt like an outsider and he presented his feelings of alienation, mistrust, and dislocation in his works. After finishing high school, Acosta joined the U.S. Air Force. He then worked his way through college, becoming the first member of his family to do so. He attended night classes at San Francisco Law School and passed the California Bar exam in 1966 on his second try. In 1967, Acosta began working as an antipoverty attorney for the East Legal Aid Society in Oakland, California. In 1968 Acosta moved to East Los Angeles and joined the Chicano Movement as an activist attorney, defending chicanos groups and activists such as the S.O.S.[disambiguation needed], Brown Berets member Carlos Filafasofa, and other underserved members of the East L.A. barrio. His controversial defense earned him the ire of the LAPD, who considered the "Brown Pride" movement more dangerous than the Black Panthers. He was often followed and harassed by the LAPD. In 1970, Acosta ran for sheriff of Los Angeles County against Peter J. Pitchess, and received more than 100,000 votes. During the campaign, he spent a couple of days in jail for contempt of court, and vowed that if he were elected, he would do away with the Sheriff's Department as it was then constituted. Acosta, known for loud ties and a flowered attaché case with a Chicano Power sticker, didn't come close to Sheriff Pitchess' 1,300,000 votes but did beat Everett Holladay, Monterey Park Chief of Police.

IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHICAL AND LITERARY TREATMENTS OF HUNTER S. THOMPSON Acosta, Oscar Zeta The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo Straight Arrow Books; 1972 Anson, Robert Sam Gone Crazy and Back Again Doubleday, New York; 1981 "It had been Thompson, in fact who had brought the two cultures together. Over beers one afternoon in 1965, he introduced some of them to Ken Kesey. 'We're in the same business,' Kesey smiled. 'You break people's bones. I break people's heads.'" "The truth was that Hunter Thompson, aside from certain eccentricities (such as occasionally employing a giant-sized medical syringe to inject a pint of gin directly into his stomach) was utterly sane." "That was Hunter Thompson's greatest weakness: he didn't like being lied to. His curse was to be an old-fashioned moralist trapped in a world that, by its very immorality, continually threatened to destroy him." Baldwin, Daniel R. Thompson Hunting: A Search for Hunter Thompson, a Quest for the American Dream MA Thesis, University of Iowa; 1983
