I know there was much discussion last night about Tad "supporters".
I don't think we really know what that means and, instead, have created many scenarios in our minds.
Whatever their level of "support" for Tad, I doubt many support his actions of this case.
Whether they do or not, they should not have their constitutional rights trampled on. As someone suggested last night, it is a good idea for LE to touch base with them and continue to ask questions.
I think there is a reasonable possibility, if this last very long, that one of those friends will get a surprise call from Tad indicating either that both are fine and, thus, he can justify his actions or that he has come to his senses but does not know what to do next.
The above is my opinion only.
