Jack Jr. and his unnamed friend destroy and ’s camp in the canyon and graffiti it with the words “Beaners Die.” Jack Jr. also tells racist jokes, and is responsible for spray painting surrounding Arroyo Blanco Estates, presumably to stoke tension between the community and the immigrants he knows will take the blame.
