    Plaxico Burress gets forgotten about in NFL history. But he was truly one of the best WRs I've ever watched. He mad an unfortunate mistake that took his career in a different direction. Today we take a look back.

      @Freedom is over sad this an often cited unsubstantiated claim. Crime rates in New York had already been in decline when this policy came around there is no definitive proof of causation. Look up the numbers. People like to cite the number when the policy started showing a drop but ignoring the years before also showing a dropping trend. This was simply security theater. The problem with this policy when your a New Yorker is they seemed to stop and frisk a select group of people and I don’t like being made to look like a criminal in public when I’m just minding my own business.

      couldn't agree more. Perfect assessment of the situation, man had no criminal record what so ever. But fucking Bloomberg's ego had to get involved because he was a celebrity and probably a black celebrity at that.
      Bloomberg the white billionaire cant even come close to relating to this man and what he has been through and why he carried a gun, And as a white guy who grew up in a rough situation, and also carried a gun for years even after I got out of there. I gotta say this if, Plaxico was white, and same history, same thing happened no fucking way Bloomberg turns this into the insane issue it was. So many of my friends (black) caught charges for the same shit I was doing but the cops wouldn't even look my way just focus in on them so many times dude.
      but Throwing 2 years away of this mans life who have never committed any crimes, pay's his taxes (even had the gun registered just not in NYC) but came from a tough background, and due to that felt the need to keep himself protected at all times, and accidentally shot himself. it was fucked up but nobody was harmed except himself, nor did he ever intend harm to anyone.
      should he have had repercussions ? Yes Like OP said supervised probation and I would bet a lot of goddamn money if Plaxico is white Bloomberg doesn't jump all over this like he did. fucking billionaire dumbass, doesn't know what the fuck its like to grow up scared everyday for your life, that shit leaves a mark on you for the rest of your life.

      @yossarian but after you do all the research and find out NO ONE was hurt (besides Plax) and the person in question has no criminal history, probation plus community service is the most logical outcome.
      Trying to over punish someone because they made a mistake is the biggest reason why so many young men and older men turn back to a life of crime when they're finally released from prison.

Even a suspended sentence would probably have been enough once the DA is given the circumstances around the incident. Like you say, we like to say “what if” too much. If he had hurt someone else it would all be different. That is the law. But he didn’t. He wasn’t. If a small sentence would be enough to keep him from ever doing this again, so be it. But two years??? People who DO hurt others don’t get that!! Raw deal period.

Bloomberg knew that it would cost Burress millions of dollars. There was a better way to handle this case & ppl should never forget that the some of the same politicians who speak of social justice today once spoke just as forcefully for mass incarceration & aggressive law enforcement to gentrify entire communities. Even conservative minded prosecutors will tell you that Burress went to jail because he was famous.

    Punishment wise, all that’s necessary in this very specific situation was a fine.

Also, I appreciate you going into detail when acknowledging that Glocks have several internal safety mechanisms, soooo many people rock with the “GlOcKs DoNt HaVe SaFtiEs” narrative.

      As a licensed concealed weapons carrier, the law was broken when Plaxico carried the firearm without proper permits and licensing from the state of New York. Also, you can’t carry a weapon AT ALL (even when licensed) if any BAC content is present. As they were at a night club, I’m assuming Plax had some alcohol in his system. So again, the law was broken when he carried the weapon without a concealed carry license and was armed in an alcoholic environment while engaging in drinking. The shot could have EASILY hit somebody else. Then we would not be debating murder charges.

      It doesn’t matter if he had a CCW or not. State reciprocity doesn’t matter. Having alcohol in your system doesn’t matter. None of that matters, you know why? Because 2A says you can have a gun and carry it open or not because you’re an American citizen. Shall NOT be infringed.

If he was in a gang, or had prior incitement’s, or himself had a history of racism, then that’s one thing. However, we should really be looking into how laws were upheld instead of how state legislatures wish to continue an erode 2A rights (on top of the foolish race baiting crap).
