Plax

Some more stuff looming around the NFL with one of its players in legal trouble. No this is nothing new but the player in question shot himself with an gun that he illegally possessed at a night club. I would love to see him get at least suspended by the league just to be consistent with every other legal crisis.

Plaxico Burress should not be let off easy even though he did not harm anyone but himself. He obviously thought the gun was a necessity and planned that he MAY have to use it or he wouldn't have had it loaded or in his possession at all. If this was Adam Jones or Tank Johnson they would be sitting out until they go to jail and then MAYBE hit the field again when they get out. And not to mention the prison time he is looking at which is said to be three and a half years minimum and fifteen years maximum. Major officials in New York have already said they want to see him punished maybe even the full extent of the law.

Many people say they want to see him be made an "example" but I don't see it like that. He is an American citizen like you and me and should not be treated any different. If I was dumb enough to shoot myself in the club with an unregistered gun I would expect to be punished.
