From his own fucking stupidity. But, of course, now he's all edumacated on how stupid he was, which naturally makes him an excellent choice, just like Vick, to lecture everyone else on his own ignorance, but transpose it on the black community as a whole as a means of alleviating his own responsibility for his actions.

From ESPN, with commentary in red:
NEW YORK -- A remorseful Plaxico Burress said he no longer owns a firearm and that he wants to help mentor and speak to youth about the dangers of [being a fucking ignorant moron] owning a gun [and sticking it your pants, loaded, chambered, and safety off, like you're an extra in New Jack City].
In his first in-depth public comments, Burress spoke about how everything changed in his life that one night he carried an unlicensed gun into a Manhattan nightclub and accidentally shot himself in the thigh. He said the incident has motivated him to help others avoid the same mistake [in a desperate attempt to get back into the league]. He is teaming with the National Urban League and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence to speak to and mentor youth about the dangers of gun violence. And like Michael Vick, Burress has former Colts coach Tony Dungy standing by his side as an advisor and mentor.
"It was a tragic accident," [there was nothing tragic about this. An idiot shot himself in the leg and it cost him a lot of money. And there was not an accident, but the utterly predictable result of stupidity, ignorance, and arrogance] and Burress said at the National Urban League's headquarters in Manhattan. "I have paid a tremendous price for a bad decision. I say to myself all those 20 months and all those days [in prison], how can I take the next step and how can people learn from what happened to me?" [or, how can i get those dolla billz back? Fuck, Mike Vick killed dogs with his bare hands and now he's considered a fucking folk hero. Shooting yo'self in the leg ain't half that bad! So I'll stand around and talk about whatever it was I did wrong, tell some kids not to do it, and cry when I think about all the Bentlys this cost me. The national media will back my liberal cause of gun control, and I'll just call anyone who doubts my sincerity a racist. Worked for Mike. Oh, shit, I almost forgot. I GOT TO BE THE VICTIM HERE...]
"I dealt with so many different emotions over that time that I can't really put a finger on one particular one," Burress said. "I said to myself over and over again all those many days and nights, how could something like this happen to me [not how did I do this to myself]. Why did it happen to me? [not why did I do this to myself] I got to a point saying, you know what, I want to be positive and I am going to learn from it and try to make every day my masterpiece. I can't go back in time and get those two years back. [from himself] The only thing I can do now is learn what happened to me [to him. to him. to him. poor fella.] and go from it and take it one day at a time."
