I don’t mind athletes protecting themselves, but do it the legal way! He had a old florida gun permit that had expired, even if it wasn’t expired, he was in NY. Get a gun permit, & you can carry the gun all u want. If he had that permit, police wouldn’t even be charging him.

fruitloop Said on

Wait Jam!!!

If it wasn’t for the mercy of the good Lord, these dudes your calling thugs got so much money most of their hopes & Dreams are history, but walk a mile in my shoe would you? His fans screamed louder then he did for shooting himself in the leg, but fortunately we americans are willing to forgive Plax because hes got so dern much money, and will only get a slap on the rist, if only other younger brothers who made as small a mistake could tollerate that little slap, but are fighting the fight of their lives for being silly, playing with dangerous articles, please don’t be so mean my guy…..



JAM Said on

Shing ding,
I stand behind my comments and it’s not hate or jealously, it’s common sense. If that were Pookie from your hood, you would have felt the same way I do. Some people always find excuses for “well known” people when they get in trouble. Personally if I did have the money and means that Plax and others have, I would do all my partying at home and when I did go out, I would have sense enough to hire a driver and security and let them carry the guns.



Marqui Said on

im trying to figure out why he had a gun in the first place. it just dosent make any sense to me. im just getting tired of all these athletes especially the black athletes getting in trouble.



shing ding Said on

Hi Diana….I already know him. And I’m a female so I don’t know where “swinging both ways” came from or what he has to do with the subject at hand. I’m still trying to figure out what he did that was so bad and caused such an uproar. Was he a little silly with his choice…maybe…maybe not. None of us even know what really happened…we just heard a story on the news. It kills me how some of us can lash out at others due to our own issues and insecurities. Whatever your issue is or isn’t…you come off like a scorned black woman. And that my dear is a sad sad sad thing. No LOL is necessary…it’s not really a laughing matter.



JAM Said on

Fruitloop,
I’m not being mean. I’m not saying condemn Plax, all i’m saying is that guys of his status need to understand that a lot of people are jealous of them and don’t want them to be where they are. so, they need to act the part and put some of their behaviors, family, and friends behind them. also, they are making it harder for the young brothers trying to get where they already are.

Plaxico Burress should be charged with stupidity. Unless Burress’ pistol was defective, proper (and yes critical) procedures were not followed. Was the safety off? If so why? Fortunately, the only one injured was the idiot who happens to be an overpaid prima donna athlete who should be, at the very least, presenting a good example that is worthy of respect and emulation. It’s truly good thing that nobody else was injured. Once a firearm is discharged, that one bullet can kill. Richochet is one possibility. Another is the deadly potential of a warning shot that is fired in the air: what goes up, must come down. A bullet that drops out of nowhere is also extremely dangerous. I support gun rights, but before anyone is allowed to carry, gun safety along with the proper handling of a weapon should be stressed. It cannot be stressed enough! All firearms must be handled correctly and carefully. When Mr.Burress has his day in court, I would like to see him sentenced to mandatory gun safety courses followed by a lot of community service. Instead of making him wear an orange jump suit or whatever outfit he would be normally required to wear, I suggest a clown suit. Community service could consist of warning the public about being a fool with a live firearm.



T-Dog Said on

Hey Plex, next time just have a bodygaurd with you or something like that, you could have either killed yourself or hurt/killed somebody else!!!! You don’t need that in your life, you have to good to throw it all away, learn from T.I.’s type of mistake………

Attention, Attention, Attention Brothers. Please get yourselves together. We as a people have to make it to the promise land. Put your Guns up and start using your brain. God is moving us to a higher level in him and we can not make it there with guns.. Brothers, please understand we don’t need any more troulbe, keep your record and yourself clean so we can move forward and be a positive role module for the next generation that is coming. Yes, we all make mistakes but their is no excuse for this nonsense. This does not make Black Brothers look good @ all. It’s prayer time!!



Diana Said on

Shing ding,

Why are you so sensitive and personal about a news article on a blog? Are you a groupie of his or something. LOL. You are really the sad and ignorant one and I’m by no means a scorned woman. I’m actually happily married. You made this a personal matter and I ridiculously followed your childish lead. That I’m guilty of because I know better. Whether or not you know this athlete is irrelevant. He did a foolish thing and I commmented on it like many others have. Too bad if you don’t like it…get over it…I won’t be the last to criticize his actions. As for my persoanl issues or insecurities. LOL. I commented on a news article which is my right! I don’t care if you like my opinion or not…LOL…grow up. LOL.
