Plaxico may get a break since he had an expired Florida registration, and I'm surprised he had that.<BR/>What makes this worse is Plaxico has gone from Super Bowl hero, to 35 million dollars, to missing practice without calling, to being fourth on the team in receptions, to shooting himself in the thigh.<BR/>Plax no longer has the luxury of anonymity, so every stupid thing he does will be magnified. I'm actin' a fool right now and nobody knows it but me and God. He should be thanking God because Sean Taylor was also shot in the thigh and basically bled to death; a tragic victim of a crime. Plax is lucky to be alive after such a careless incident.<BR/><I>SLC</I>SLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730433154344252585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-44069271915303947512008-12-04T14:12:00.000-05:002008-12-04T14:12:00.000-05:00My thoughts, exactly!

Some of these athletes are just stupid. All that money and no commen sense.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying this just b/c he's an athlete but I don't think he should get 3.5 yrs. He has no record. The same should apply to anyone with NO record. That's just a waste of taxpayers money. The city would be better off letting them pay a hefty fine and doing community work. And the next time it happens then jail time. <BR/><BR/>And Bloomberg needs to sit down somewhere. Where was he and his stance on justice when some of his NYPD boys opened fire on an innocent man like Sean Bell? Plax accidently shot himself with a gun, and Bloomberg wants to make sure he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Yet his cops purposely shot Bell with no just cause, and they walked. Some other cops ran a broomstick up a man's butt, and never received jailtime for that. But Plax is a dangerous criminal that needs to be put away for putting a bullet in himself. Whatever! Plus I refuse to believe every person in NYC that gets caught with an unregistered gun gets 3.5 yrs. If so NYC would have more jails than Starbucks. I'm sure some people are coppijng pleas to reduce their sentence. Plus he's yelling it's the law. It's the law you can only serve two terms but he's trying to serve 3. I don't like Bloomberg!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-52301384725895762782008-12-04T10:14:00.000-05:002008-12-04T10:14:00.000-05:00Good post...I'm not the one to quickly judge peopl...Good post...<BR/><BR/>I'm not the one to quickly judge people, especially when I wasn't there/don't know the person's situation/etc., for we all fall short sometimes.Beautifully.Conjured.Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406790625325877853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-19876825533553522272008-12-04T09:44:00.000-05:002008-12-04T09:44:00.000-05:00@Nikki-Point Taken..but check it out..There are gu...@Nikki-Point Taken..but check it out..There are guys sitting in jail now, doing three years for just the same thing that he's accused of..Carrying an unregistered and concealed weapon..<BR/>Who never had the opportunities in life that he was blessed with..It doesn't make either person right,but still...I'm even betting that because he is who he is..he won't spend a day in jail.
