Tin, I love you so dearly... because you are such a special soul as was he. Tears stream down my face as I read and type because your spirit reaches me.

Will you be able to go to his service or whatever may be held in his honor? I would dearly love to put together some flowers or something.. money in lieu of the PCW program in his memory via PI.. IF anyone is up for it!

Duct-taped mouth was a message sent via those not wanting the message sent. Suicide? No way... he knew how important what he was doing or a part of was and IMHO, he would not have put that in jeopardy for anything.

It's just the crackdown or further crackdown of freedom and truth hitting home in an Austin, Texas suburb.

It can happen to anyone.. anywhere.

Sending LOVE to all involved....
