Subject: Dear Judge Singal
Body: It should be addressed to:
Hon. George Z. Singal, U.S.
District Judge
U.S.
District Court
55 Pleasant Street
Concord, NH 03301___________________________
Judge Singal,
Although my opinion may be dismissed as biased, I must say that we, in the Gonzalez Family are well respected for our honesty and objectivity. We are of the opinion that supporting the truth is more important than supporting even family. For this reason we prefer being involved with people knowledgeable of the truth as opposed to those with a propensity to following the opinions of others. Especially, if others are just following the dominant majority instead of researching or educating themselves.
This, perhaps, is the reason that my son, Cirino, was seen as a threat by officers. Keep in mind that this man, Cirino, is the same man that rushed out into a street, in front of a snow-cone stand, to snatch a toddler about to be struck by a pickup truck; the same man that, while his own minivan was stuck in the mud on a rainy South Texas night, helped an elderly Hispanic woman when HER car became flat in the street. The next day she brought Cirino a chocolate cake to thank him (we still have the aqua plate). My son, Cirino, became an expert at rescuing me from car breakdowns during my return to college (100 miles daily round trip). Everyone in the family, as well as friends, acquaintances, and even strangers, have found that Cirino can be depended upon for a helping hand at any time.
Cirino has few close friends but has touched so many even before this present ordeal. He celebrates many extremely loyal acquaintances that often make an effort to go out of their way to just say "hello" to my son in public. He is popular amongst the affluent in our town, as well as the middle class and especially the poor and working class, whom consider Cirino to be genuinely concerned about their well-being. He managed a local night club for about a year, during which, even though his duties included "bouncing" people out, he became very much recognized for his sense of fairness. Cirino even still maintains an amicable relationship with his ex-wife, and often watches their children while she is at work. These four children miss him dearly and the little one asks me, every time, to get her daddy out of jail.
Cirino Gonzalez has led a life of honesty, free of any legal conviction, accusations, or otherwise implications of any lawlessness what so ever. Even this case seems rather one of mistaken and/or misrepresented intentions. Nonetheless, all is well that ends well, and Cirino can honestly say that he successfully avoiding harm or violence to anyone in this matter. Cirino continues his message of peace. Please, keep in mind that Cirino's primary purpose in this whole matter was the preservation of human life; In Iraq, in the USA, in New Hampshire. I grant that he may have chosen unwisely in the eyes of others and, perhaps, self-preservation may well be the biggest casualty of the magnanimous.
Please, demonstrate leniency at his sentencing so that this gentle man may continue his quest of aiding Humanity and return home to those that love and miss him.
Jose M.
Gonzalez
