A word from the maintainer of briandeneke.org

Clair Denision, one of the people behind www.briandeneke.org had a short editorial about the issue from a semi-insider. Take a look.

Guilty! I am from Amarillo. Guilty! I have slipped away from the scene and
into an average life. Guilty! I tried to let this embarrassing excuse of a
justice system quietly be forgotten. Then someone asked me for a small
favor - make a memorial committee web page for Brian Deneke. It was only
talk for a few months and then it finally happened two days ago. Now the
fire has been lit for me and I care deeply about this cause.

I was not close to Brian Deneke, but I was close to people who loved him and
I have seen the pain his murder has brought. I have tried to fall asleep
while imagining my own son's death being swept under the rug. I heard of
his compassionate and caring personality even while he was alive. What I
want is even bigger than anger or vengeance . . . I want something good to
come out of this. Brian is gone and nothing I can do will bring him back,
but it will not be in vain. There will be remembrance and tolerance and
diversity. The local scene has a day in the summer dedicated to Brian. It
is called "Unity through Diversity" and this year can be huge. I hope that
people will travel from all over to remember Brian in a positive way. I
think Brian would be smiling down on this day of Unity through Diversity.
Come to Amarillo this summer and celebrate Brian.
