It's been a week since the official complaint was filed against those responsible for the death of Zac Champommier... and not a word about it from the local Fishwrap of Record.
Carol Champommier has filed a lawsuit in federal court for the wrongful shooting death last June of her son and only child, Zachary Champommier. Among those charged in the official complaint: the DEA, LAPD and LA County Sheriff's Department. You can read the complaint here. (pdf file)
This morning street-hassle reports a spike in violent crimes in Los Angeles, with little to no information coming from the Times (the last homicide occurred Friday, with no mention of it in the paper). From street-hassle:
The Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, will answer the public's questions in a town hall on Monday, May 23, at 6 p.m. at Reseda High School. You must make your request to attend before May 18.
The Town Hall comes at a time when violent crime is up significantly in the City, including three in Ed Reyes' Council District 1 in the past week.
You can click here to register for the town hall meeting. I did. I think you should, too.
And while you're there, maybe you can drop a note to the Editor of the Daily News and push them to step up to the plate and start actually reporting the news of this city; a task apparently too bold and bothersome for the Los Angeles Times.
