Plaxico gets 2 years

[Kiwon]

So when does Blade get to go to prison over tax evasion?

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Cards will sign plax.

AZ loves guns and liquor.

How in the world has Mobb not posted in this thread yet?

I don't care for Plax at all,but this country is going down the shitter when he gets 2 years for shooting himself. Stallworth get's a slap on the wrist for killing someone. Just shows the gun control nazis wanted to make an example out of him.

Did you know that Plax wasn't arrested, charged, and sentenced to 2 years in prison for shooting himself? He is spending 2 years in jail for unlawfully carrying a loaded gun where he shouldn't have. If anybody would have reported him for carrying that weapon BEFORE he shot himself, he'd still be spending 2 years in jail for having a gun on him in the first place. The lesson to be learned here isn't that it's illegal to shoot yourself, but rather that it's illegal to carry a loaded weapon into a club in NYC whether the gun goes off or not. That's what he's going to jail for.

And I think several of us, including myself, have gone into detail about the ridiculous comparisons drawn between Stallworth's case and Burress' case. They aren't the same, and Stallworth didn't kill nobody. Some moron running out into traffic trying to catch a bus killed himself. I saw the tape. End of story.

Two years of a man's life for shooting himself and/or carrying. He deserved something for being an idiot, but he was clearly made an example of. When Mobb does post here, his comments will be pretty much right the fuck on.

Didn't the judge give him the minimum sentence provided by the statute? How is he being made an example of?

You really just don't understand what's going on here do you?

[wist43]

In this case, the only thing dumber than him shooting himself, is his getting sentenced to 2 years in prison.

He's an idiot, our legislatures are full of idiots, the judiciary is full of idiots, and the vast majority of the citizenry are idiots.

See ya in the gulag

Its been spelled out pretty specifically but apparently its not sinking in.

Because the one place you should need a firearm is in a trendy NY night club...

I'll admit that I don't know the intricacies of the entire case. I do know that they did not charge him right away so they could review what charges they could file. The example comes in not with the sentencing, but with the creative method of filing charges. A creative judge would have made him play for the raiders or lions for a couple of years. Dude shot himself in the leg and there was no demonstrated intent to harm anyone else. I don't have a whole lot of faith in the NY Injustice system after they allowed several officers who executed an unarmed Black man on the eve of his wedding to walk while putting a different Black man away for two years for accidentally shooting himself. And if I recall correctly, the same police force have been guilty of one or two more executions since that time and I would bet they received a paid vacation as a punishment.

And for the others, I do get it. Probably a lot better than people who have lived their lives isolated from any type of urban environment and the integral diversity that accompanies.

The way you describe these two incidents tells us pretty much where you're coming from.

Two times.

while putting a different Black man away for two years for accidentally shooting himself.

That's not what he was put away for. I wish people would stop trying to spin it this way. It's just a way to portray Burress as the victim here while ignoring the actual law that was broken. It's not illegal to accidentally shoot yourself. It is illegal to carry a gun into a club in NYC in the first place. Whether you agree with that law or not, it is the law and it is the law for everybody - including Plaxico Burress. So no, he wasn't being made an example of. He was being treated equally under the letter of the law. That's justice.
