carol and zac, at his graduation from granada hills charter high school, one year ago
It was a year ago that Zac Champommier and his family and friends celebrated his graduation from Granada Hills Charter High School. Zac had so many friends there and that was such a happy night for all of them.
Two weeks after this picture was taken, Zac was shot and killed by people who had been tasked to protect and to serve him, and yet in the end, they not only failed to protect Zac... they were responsible and culpable for everything that happened that night. All of it.
His family and friends would like to spend the anniversary of his death together. The entire communities of Granada Hills (where Zac went to school), Porter Ranch (where Zac lived) and Studio City (where Zac was killed) are invited to join us as we celebrate his life.
We will meet on Friday, June 24th at the corner of Laurel Canyon and Ventura boulevards from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Zac's mother Carol is planning a butterfly release, similar to the one at Zac's memorial service.
Everyone is welcome. Even if you only know Zac from reading this blog, you are welcome to come, because now you are a FOZ (Friend of Zac) and now you know what a wonderful person, son, relative, friend, and loved loved loved member of his community that he was; that he is.... that he'll always be.

I read an article in LA Times about Zac just now, years after the fact, and only now do I know that he wasn't a drug-crazed looney--- as the initial reports would have had us believe!! In fact there were no drugs near him at all!! This is a shame! A terrible thing!! He seems to be a wonderful and bright kid who somehow got killed by cops and immediately blamed for his own death when in fact he was innocent!! I feel terrible about this and greatly saddened for his mother and friends.. I'm still incredibly shocked at how initial reports were wrong and misleading and no one went back and clarified the true facts! Perhaps because it's obvious that mistakes were made by the cops and they were covering their lies!! ;((
