[ The following text is in the "utf-8" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. ] [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] To whom it may concern, I have known Vincent Ho since 2012, at the time I was the Coordinator for the San Jose Capter if the Pink Pistols, a LBGTQ self-defense advocacy group. It came to my attention that Vincent Ho had some medical issues which resulted in him selling off firearms because he lost firearms rights. Recently Vincent Ho told me that his house was searched by police and they found an old non-functional shotgun he forgot about in his home. The Vincent Ho I know has chronic health/pain issues, sadly like many Americans, the medications he takes have limitations. The Vincent Ho I know is not a violent person, never has to my knowledge ever wished to commit harm to others. Yes Vincent has a unique personality, that said I would describe him as meek, mild, docile. Vincent made a mistake, that said, Vincent Ho is not a danger to the public. Besides himself, who has he harmed? What justice/public harm reduction would be served by incarceration? I plead with the court to use temperance in it?s judgement.
