He was such a great kid. Those of us who were lucky enough to know him know this. With every fiber of our beings we know this. And that's why we're still here.

In Memorium -- Zac Champommier

 Today marks the two-year anniversary of Zac's death. We remember it as if somehow it had happened only yesterday. Over the course of two years, so much has changed, so much has been learned. And it is as we have always suspected. In fact, the truth is more horrific than we could have imagined.

There will be a candlelight vigil tonight to remember Zac. Please join Zac's family and friends at the corner of Ventura Blvd and Laurel Canyon between 8:45 and 9:00 pm. From there, we will walk to the parking lot behind the Chipotle restaurant. Candles will be provided for you, or you can bring your own.

If you do the social media thing, right click to save any of the images of Zac here or use the image at the top left hand sidebar and then upload the picture as your Facebook profile pic or Twitter avatar in memory of Zac and to raise awareness about his death and the circumstances surrounding it.

His mother is moving forward with her demand for accountability. Unless something's changed and no one sent me the memo, you don't get to shoot down our children in parking lots for no damn reason and not expect to be accountable. Especially if your job is to protect our children. This simply cannot be allowed to ever happen again. Changes must be made. New policies implemented. People must be held to answer for every life needlessly, recklessly, thoughtlessly taken, and for every lie told thereafter.
