I have the pleasure of knowing Tom on a more personal level.
I always thought it a coincidence that he lived in a town that shared his surname. Tom is in a position to know a LOT about what is really happening in a battlefield town like Austin. Tom is a Criminal Defense Attorney, and as such, I'm sure he is on the front-line of this battle going on, ... unabated daily. As always anymore it seems, ... the Courthouse is the focal point of this battle.
While I have never asked, I'm sure he has a LOT of hair-raising stories he could tell about his "Clients". I'm also sure that he has a close working relationship with the local LEOs, and is well informed, more so than any of us uninformed "Civilians" living our lives in relative peace while Locked Down.
