Two reader comments about Raul Gonzales
Though my cousin wasn't the perfect angel on the streets, he was a father, husband, and son, and did not deserve to die. I hope the guys that shot him burn in hell for what they did. Rene (Raul) was always smiling, and he looked so much like his father, my Uncle Loulie. Rest in Peace my dear cousin. I love you and will see you in heaven!
