  • he should shoot his lawyer

  • Ana, sooo hot here

  • the only reason you carry a loaded handgun is too KILL. They don't fucking work well as hole punch. You have a loaded handgun on you in a nightclub fucking dumb piece of shit deserves 4 years with the possibility of parrol in 6 months in case he learns his lesson real fucking quick.c

  • @bunkmasterflex Or perhaps they bring them to protect themselves from other dumb shits with guns and a thought process like you.

  • @hippielettuce187 Yes of course i'm the one who's going to kill somebody, Your the one who believes the safest room is one where everybody is armed. I don't believe Plaxico was there to murder somebody but bringing a loaded gun into a club isn't something i would wever condone and i don't think anybody with more than a handful of working neurons would disagree.

  • @bunkmasterflex Well one he is very famous. Almost everyone knows how much he was getting payed and what he probably carries in his wallet. Name how many athletes were robbed in the last 5 years. Out of those were alot of whom people know how much they get paid. Maybe he brought the gun to keep muggers, rapist and gangbanger the fuck away from him. He shot himself no one else. That is like punishing me for cutting myself with a knife because I could have hurt someone.

  • the only reason you carry a loaded handgun is too KILL. They don't fucking work well as hole punch. You have a loaded handgun on you in a nightclub fucking dumb piece of shit deserves 4 years with the possibility of parol in 6 months in case he learns his lesson real fucking quick.c

  • Dick Cheney shot a man in the face and didn't even get arrested.

  • AL DAVIS SAID HE IS GOING TO BAIL THIS DUDE OUT IF HEYWARD BEY DON'T PRODUCE THIS YEAR LOL RLMAO

  • What mother or father gives there child the name 'Plaxico' and I thought my name was wierd?

  • bit tight

  • he didn't deserve jailtime, everything you can imagine goes on in the house, even the guards set you up and allow things to happen where they should protect. so plaxico? man sorry bro but you gonna get extortioned all of the place.

  • he screwed up his career!

    the giants now suck cuz of him

  • cmon he is (or was) a football star. Being that famous he had the right to carry a gun due to the fact that pro athletes are more likely to get attacked (sean taylor RIP). Oh and im pretty sure theres at least one Patriots fan who would shoot him for making the game winning catch @ the super bowl.

  • I'm really cnfused by the justice system in america... i can beat down defensless women(chris brown),kill people(ray lewis,donte stallworth,O.J), and serve minimal to practically no time in jail but if i kill some damn dogs or shoot myself (Plaxico & Mike Vick) I get locked up for two years ??? I dunno this dosen't seem like a good formula... cause honestly all this teaches me is that if i dont fuck with dogs then i can get away with pretty much anything...

  • @96000r Maybe it's because your too examples are from the last 4 years and after O.J. things changed. It's weird how you included Plaxico regardless of the fact he could have killed somebody and was absolutely unrelated to animals. Maybe it teaches not to break the law and the past's incidents teach that the law is unimportant. You cannot make the comparison each moment defines the next.

  • dante stallworth killed someone!!!!!! he's not locked up and when he was it wasnt even close to 2 years

  • Harsh.

  • TYT should do a "what ever happened to?" for the odd stories, a year later, two years later .. etc.. might be interesting. I haven't said anything, I'm just sayin..

  • "crazy harsh" agreed

  • thats not funny

    this interview people are fucking jackasses fuck them for thinking its a joke

  • That's one ugly look'n chuckie.

  • Plaxico? 2 years? Works for me. Unregistered gun, illegal to carry concealed in NY, has no clue what to do w/a gun, shoots the gun in a crowded club. Too many people who don't know how to handle guns have guns. I ived in Alaska. Most everyone I knew carried and used weapons for protection and hunting. They knew what they wee doing. I never saw anyone pull a gun out, let alone in a bar.

  • People shouldn't have that much power in their hands.

    The "He wont attack me now because he knows I have a gun" argument is flawed.

    People do stupid things, get drunk on bars, or get in a stressful situation - and a lot of bad things happen if they hold a gun.

    NA has one of the highest crime rates and people over jail (not because of guns) but allowing everyone to own a gun and bring it everywhere isnt helping either.

    I dont know how I would feel If there were 1, 2, 3 guys with guns in a bar

  • awe just had a riot here in holland a guy was dancing and shooting a gun at public event.(hitting multiple people) police responded and killed another(the wrong) one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!Thats why no one should have weapons at clubs or parties

  • only in america

  • Plaxico, You already look like one of those angry muslim jail clerics.

  • ha ha.  who cares.

  • No priors? 2 years. WTF?

  • You should be in jail if you shoot yourself in the leg since he is uhm...STUPID!

  • not too much

  • He can still appeal his guilty plea OR sentence though. Our justice system is a lot more lenient than people think(I hope I didn't create a new wave of criminals by saying that.)

  • If it happened anywhere else but NY he would probably not be going to jail......but since it did happen in NY......he is getting what everyone else would probably get......bad situation

  • what a dumb fuck! he deserves jail just for being a stupid fuck! who the hell accidentally shoots themselves in the leg hahahah dumb ass!

  • The point that everybody seems to be skipping

    over is that NY has VERY STRICT gun laws.

    When Plaxico did what he did, he sealed his

    own fate, and the judges hands were tied.

    IT IS WHAT IT IS!

  • He's a dumbass, and who the F names their kid plaxico?

  • its his last name

  • I rarely disagree with TYT but this time, they are off the mark. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs and have no respect for Michael Vick but when Vick was sentenced for 23 months for dog fighting, 24 months pales in comparison for discharging a firm arm public.

  • It was an accident you dumb bitch.

  • He could have blown off his junk!

  • Now, somebody in jail will.

  • Let him go!!

    But who the hell names their kid Plaxico??

  • Lucky he shot himself, dumbass could have been looking at +10-15.

  • HAHAHAHA how funny!!! Dumb ass shoots himself.. Omg can anything be funnier???? Im a tough ass football player... "bang!!! oh fuck!!! HAHAHAHAH what a dumb ass... watch him squirm around with a bullet in his leg.... he should have gotten life for being so stupid... ever heard of Darwin? I cant stop laughing at what an idiot this dude is

  • im pretty sure you have a small dick

  • I'd like to know what his defense was for bringing the gun into the club. I'd also like to know who his lawyer is so when i'm rich i can NEVER EVER hire him.

  • 2 yrs is not alot

  • only If you are used to people trying to start a fight with you every day because you are famous while the other half try to drill out your arsehole because your famous.... That 2yrs will be hell on earth.

  • I'm a Giants fan...

    I never liked Plaxico...

    He's an idiot...

    But 2 years for that...!?

    Waaaaay too harsh...

  • He got 2 years for being a total dork... according to Darwin... he should have gotten life... what a fucking moron... Lets put in a gun in my pants... "bang"!! oh fuck!!! What a moron...

  • say it cenk, they did it because he's black

  • Kokojin, Brandon Marshall was black and he got less than a month for manslaughter.

    How about we DON'T say fundamentally stupid things that don't apply here.

  • different judge.

  • Chris Browns Black, and he got Nothing

  • If by that you mean that because a few judges are not corrupt and racist, then ALL JUDGES are not corrupt and racist. Then you sir, are extremely short sided. @(-_-)@

  • I love the comments and Im happy they got this fool he should get 6 years

  • 2 years is fukkin not enough .. what we have is a drunken clown with a gun......at a club....luckyly he shot himself!!!......shoudnt walk around with a gun in the first place

  • Yea 2 years is too much. Nobody, not even animals got hurt.

    The law should be changed.

    Where is the NRA? Shouldn't they have supported him?

  • lol,u all want gun control but now a black guy , yea I said it, fucks up and oooo, give him a break, I smell racism by the young durds lol

  • This is insane

  • That sentence does not fit the crime. He should have got probation.

  • too much??? hahaha. This from assholes that hate the second amendment. priceless shit.

  • yeah dumb people YiiiiiHAaaa lets shoot eachother while we drunk at the club..perfectly normal....

  • 40 years for drugs, 25 for murder. who is going easy on the gangsta?

  • you don't know anything. what does plax have to do with your erroneous ideology anyway. a law abiding citizen shouldn't need worry about this, in essence a repeal of the 4th amendment. you also have no class, and you want to be heard to be heard because your voice is small and weak in reality. your opinon should be shoved up your ass. by the way those kids are "our" kids. you don't give a shit about them anyway or they might be afforded opportunities in life other than the ghetto.

  • Like my friend said: Plaxico is cheap!

    1. Too cheap to hire a bodyguard when he felt threatened.

    2. Too cheap to hire a pit bull attorney who would've ate that case & shit it out.

    This man had a $35 Million football contract...he really could afford better than this.

  • In NYC, 3 years is the mandatory time for this offense. The DA is NOT allowed to plea bargain it down. You can thank all the gangsta wannbes for that law and NOT racism. Be smart, know the law before commenting!

  • However, as far as I'm aware, they can sentence him to three years and suspend some or all of his sentence. Suspended sentence happens all the time in first offense cases.

  • They specifically made the law difficult to do this, even for first time offenders, because so many people were getting no jail time.

  • I think they should let him go, 2 yrs is ridiculous

  • Fucking dick bag deserves to go to prison

    I mean who gives a shit that he plays football?

  • The problem is it cost us money to keep him there.

  • you have to be soooooooooooooo stupid to have millions of dollars and buy on purpose illegal weapon....its already stupid to have a firearm(in canada we dont have any guns and nobody shoot eachother eather) and to have one that is illegal you have to some dumb f*cked,he taught he was to big for justice shame on him.he got what he deserve sorry...

  • there was no intent, he shot himself which is humiliating and no one was hurt. no one even heard the gunshot lol. if plax goes to his doctor's office and his doctor calls up a surgeon secretly to do some concealed surgery nothing even happens. yet he is caught for shooting himself and is now going away for 2 years. that is embarrasing and the guy will be clowned in jail. lol yall already know the inmates watched that plax espn interview where he cries... i hope he aint a prison bitch.

  • plax is being made an example of plain and simple. the law is trying to show some young people that guns will put you away and what is a better way to do it than throw one of the superbowl heroes away for a couple? they are trying to show people that they aren't untouchable and that if plax can get 2 yrs the general pop can get it real harsh. is it fair? nope. why? because his sentence was already determined before he even got to court. he was PINNED. period. 1st offense, 1st strike and he's out

  • It was a concealed illegal gun. What if he shot someone else?

  • But he didn't.

    I COULD come to your house and rape ur family, but I haven't and won't. Why lock me up?

  • But he had an illegal gun.....thats enough....

  • Agreed, but the question we are asking is it fair?

    Paris Hilton should have gotten a decade inside for a drunk driving it was multiple offences latter than she got a prison sentence. Getting behind the wheel of a car, particularly the powerful ones she drives is a death threat, one that kills a lot more than accidental discharge of weapons.

  • I agree on alcohol+cars that should put you in jail too but only if really drunk and multiple time....were i live you get 2 years in prison +4000 dollar fine for bringing weapons in clubs

  • Why if only really drunk, and why multiple times?

    I argue that if you made a 1000 people carry a loaded gun to a club and 1000 people drive drunk for an indefinite period. I would guess someone would die on the road first.

    If someone did use the gun then they probably meant it. The car kill would be purely an 'accident' of control.

    So I don't get why someone should have to be very very drunk or have multiple chances. What is special here for it to be 1 strike compared to DrunkDriving?

  • I dunno im no judge but its both wrong!someone using a gun while drunk is very bad aswell as driving....

  • I know and you are right. But we are talking about accidents here. The gun rearly leads to the accidental death in this case, you have to get in an arguement and get angry really to kill.

    The car its only accidents.

    The point really is if its two years no priors for a Gun in a club then its a massive injustice that people get off like paris hilton did WITH priors. She had a joke isolated prison. Not like the general pop slam he is going to where thugs can make a name saying they beat him down.

  • you right too paris should be locked up aswell but like you saidif car only accident....so guns has to be worse!..he shouldnt go to a club where he gets threatened anyway

  • But thats the thing, Americans don't see the gun like that. Your a applying a European view in which case 2yrs is fine as you should not have a gun in the first place.

    But gun automatically = a threat. That argument can't be made in a country that guns are legal.

  • yeah ok..........to me the only problem here is the gun .those things should be bannned period.

  • 100% with you. Guns are despicable and I think there only role is to kill.

    Though Americans allow them and so by definition you must be able to have them without the motivation to kill.

    That's why I disagreed, so the punishment is not for the insight to violence more for possession of the gun.

    Which is why 2yrs is steep. Considering drink driving is not allowed at any time which can accidentally easily. Should have a greater penalty.

    Paris Hilton got of far too light by similar reference.

  • thats where we tottaly disagree......I think gunz should only be allowed to police (and designated bodyguarrds)officers and military.....i think having a gun should be a serious crime. banning guns will resolve more problemsin your country that I think you can imagine..since in america its very normal.

    No guns = much lesser dead

    gang activity and drugs(All Crimes) racisme violence all that will reduce Severally....plus a 1000 other good things

    why not ban 1 thing to resolve a 1000 problems?

  • Yes, I am in the UK BTW.

    I dissagree the gun insights to violence. I don't think they should be carried by anyone.

    Guns in the military is not really a debate that debate is do countries need a military-industrial base that makes deadly weapons, as in international arena the gun too insights to violence.. Countries are wearing a 'gun in the club' so speak... Only this club we are all forced to go to every night and wake up to every morning.

    man I could the evening news with that last line...

  • Lol now youre trippin

    Drugs are bad for you ok?

  • gangs and criminals can get their weapons illegally, some already do. if you take away the peoples gun, it takes away a means of protection. Why do you think trying to rob a gun shop earns most people a Darwin award.

    We live in a world were farmers tools and rocks are no longer enough to overthrow a corrupt government or to defend yourself from a gang or criminal.

  • yeah i guess its too late in the usa...And you really think Rebellious unorganized civilians can overthrow the government???

    I think this whole government throwing thing is the first flaw in your laws...

    Like giving chlidren knives(for protection)

  • unorganized, probably not, Although i would probably classify rebellious unorganised civilians as a rioting mob. but organized rebellions by civilians can and have overthrown governments in the past.

    But if washingtons troops didn't have any guns, do you think they could have defeated the British? How about in an era were we have semi automatics?

    If you gave every one a steak knife as they boarded a plane, there would be no more plane hijacks, for every terrorist would think twice.

  • troops and civilians are different things

    police army and designated persons (security) should have guns civilians just not.

    but im realizin thats impossible in your country so my argument is obsolete

  • The problem with troops and police is that both are corruptable entities.

    I would also bet that the greater the difference in power becomes, the greater the probabilities that they will become corrupt.

    A rule is only as strong as the power that enforces it. the rights of the people are enforced by the power of the people, take away their power, and you can then take away their rights. in an ideal world, corrupt wouldn't be something we have to worry about, but no one lives in a ideal world.

  • How do you think brutal dictators manage to stay in power in third world countries. The dictator controls all the power. He controls the military, and the citizens, armed only with farm tools and a maybe a few guns, are no match for a fleet of takes. I used to wonder why the people in third world countries didn't just rebel. Its because they can't win with wants available to them.

  • it still ridiculous!! people get shot over random disagrements just because they got easy acces to powerful weapon.

    you seem very pro - gun

    in some states you can even buy full automatics m4 legally or A rocket laucher(legally!!!)

    for protection???? For what Ze russians?

    You live in a democratic country for100z of years now. dictators wont take over power so Weapons arent a must have.

    I heard right extremist want to overthrow Obamas presidency....Its just plain ridiculous..

  • Before guns, people got stabbed over random disagreements. people are stupid and violent.

    I don't believe anyone need a full automatic or rocket launcher for protection. IF peasants armed with rocks and sticks can overthrow knights with swords, then enough civilians with handguns can overthrow a few with assault rifles.

    If a criminal thinks you might have a gun, then are less likely to attack than if they know you don't have a gun because they're banned

    I am a left wing liberal, whos pro gun.

  • well interesting conversation.

    but im not satisfied with it so im gonna conclude it for myself :)

    you said people got stabbed before ...(because they re stupid and violent)

    So now they getting shot !!!is that better????

    goin from rocks to sticks to knives to guns???whats next???

    anyway i will stop this conversation myself..thank you for enlighten me on your view of this subject.

    sorry if i offended you in aniway

    bye.

  • Children by definition are inexperienced (nice way of saying dumb) and immature. Of course you can't trust children with knifes. you also can't trust them with cars, cleaning products, or matches. Does this mean that no one should be allowed any of those things? NO.

    Nobody thinks children should have guns. nobody is arguing that children should have guns. We are talking about mature adults. Children are inexperienced, and by default need mature individuals to protect them anyways.

  • Mature adults? How can you be sure?

    There are DUUUMMB dumb people who shouldn't even be allowed to hold scissors , that have a gun .

    The ratio of gun related accidents and miss-use is FAR superior than, say, self defence.

    There is just no logic in allowing people to own guns in the blink of an eye in this day and age

  • So I could point the gun at your head sayin I think im gonna kill you...would that be legal???the fact that he has a gun inside the club i s like a death threat.Alcohol+gun=innocent victim dies

  • You shouldnt live your life by "WHAT IFS" and courts should not determine sentences by WHAT IFS

  • that's merely speculation and should not be a determinant in court

  • Lol when have you ever heard someone say 'what if' in court in order to send someone to jail?

  • no because that gives an excuse to every person sneaking weapons into the clubs. if a regular person would be sentenced for tthis crime, its only fair the rich superstar gets the same treatment. the law is blind.

  • Plaxico's basically punished for his stupidity.

    The glaring difference between him & other star criminals such as Chris Brown & Michael Vick is that the latter committed crimes purposely. Their wrongs were planned- & they escaped the consequences.

  • i wouldn't call losing 130 million and wasting away 2 of your prime years is escaping at all. chris brown escaped. mike vick prolly paid the most any athlete would ever pay for an animal rights violation.

  • Cenk, recent events should convince you of the need for our self defense. Whether in New York or Missouri. There shouldn't be a general population at all for prison, all solitary.

  • who the fuck was his lawyer? how did the nflpa not get involved? i mean ya hes an idiot for carrying a gun. i think anyone who carries a gun, let alone in public, are idiots.. but 2 YEARS! are you fist fucking me? i think the only reason he got that time was because some DA or judge wanted to make a name for themselves. its really sad. the guy doesnt deserve that at all.

  • You also could have caused a riot like stampede and kill many more people.

    Gunshots tend to send people running.

  • Another fucktard American law. Tough punishment should be reserved for murderers, robbers, rapist etc... Melicious intent needs to be punished, not moronic imbecile pseudo crimes.

  • (To be fair, no-one with a beard like that could be accused of having good judgment.)

  • ignorant

  • Who the FUCK takes a GUN to a nightclub?

    That said, his idiocy isn't something that should be punished per se. Taking a piece out in public illegally is quite a serious offence, however.

    I'm kind of unsure about this sentence, although two years does seem a little harsh.

  • "Who the FUCK takes a GUN to a nightclub?" You can't be American if you're asking that.

  • An Idiot.

  • I think this sentence is fair. If he was able to shoot himself he could have just as easily shot someone else.

    I never got the "first offence" thing. How many people do you have to shoot/rob/rape etc before you are considered a criminal?

  • I have to completely disagree about the sentence being too harsh.

    He had an uncontrolled discharge of a firearm in a crowded nightclub. It's more luck than anything else that he shot himself rather than someone else.

    That bullet could have gone anywhere - it could have also hit somebody else, maybe even causing a fatal wound.

    If his gun went off in the middle of a national park then maybe it's too harsh - but a nightclub is full of people and usually crowded. That was far too reckless.

  • ya but thats all hearsay. youre just making up a situation that didnt happen. obviously he was a complete meat stick for carrying a gun into a bar, but he shot HIMSELF . of course if it hit someone, he should have been given the time.. but he shot himself, and only himself.. theres a lot worse things that go on in this world that dont get punished, than some donkey carrying a gun into a bar, or anywahere for that matter.

  • doesnt matter ..you just dont go to a club with a gun...or any weapon....I mean he will do it again n again till he gets in a fight while drunk , boom he ll shoot someone eventually.

    now for 2 years we are safe from HIM

  • No priors. No malicious intent.

    3 months w/ 5 years parole. No time served.

    2 years is WAY over the top. That's bullshit. I should be a fuckin' judge.

  • Spin the bottle... the system needs another brother in jail for being black.

    In your world its ok to carrier a loaded gun to a bar, not mine. Two years for being rich and dumb!

  • dang...poor guy @_@

  • Plex got a raw deal. What will putting him in jail prove ? It stinks of politics. He is not dangerous or antisocial. If he were on top of his game he would 've walked. We have two justice systems in this country. Ben is the anointed one an can do no wrong, until his kicker falls from grace and they can't win by TD's. The media is having a good laugh on Plex but that is how they operate!

  • The smart thing for Plax & his lawyers to do is to take the case to trial where he would've gotten a lesser sentence. He did have a Fl. permit for the gun but it exp. in 2008, he has a clean record, he's a NY Giants hero & he didn't hurt anyone but himself. This dummy was asked to go to prison and he said YES.

  • Plaxico is obviously stupid but his legal team is even worse. You would think he had a state appointed attorney who is also best buddies with the DA. Why in the world would you accept a 2 year sentence when the minimum for that charge is 3 1/2 yrs.??? What kinda plea deal is that ???

  • If I was the one giving the sentence I would suspend his gun licence for a year and give him three months of community service in a gun awareness program. Basically because this situation could have been a lot worse, someone could have gotten hurt or even killed and surely the gun must have gone off because it was badly holstered or was a faulty gun, but if that was the case then he could get a massive lawsuit against the gun manufacturer.

  • Wow thats surprising. Not that I am leniant on criminals but this is too much, he didnt do anything. The only thing he did was shoot HIMSELF, thats punishment enough.

  • He didn't deliberately shoot himself, he just had an uncontrolled discharge in the middle of a crowded nightclub - there would have been a very good chance that someone else could have been hit.

  • Black, White, whatever. It's pretty obvious that this judge was making an example of him.

    I don't think it's a fair judgement, but at least for once, a prima donna athlete isn't getting the star treatment, and for that I say: "You Go Judge"!!!

  • Plaxico Burress was not sentenced at trial. He and his ridiculous legal team negotiated & accepted a 2 year sentence plea agreement from the DA's office.

  • Getting shot in the leg=time served.

  • how about no jail, no probation, no nothing, and then go out and arrest all the people who kidnapped and imprisoned him against his will.

    man do i hate state-worshipping do gooder petty tyrants.

  • I suspect the main reason why the sentence seems so harsh is that you aren't getting the full story. For instance, why did he bring a gun into the club? It could have been attempted murder and that's the reason for the sentence - which may be too lenient rather than too tough. The gun might be illegal or unregistered, possession of other substances, the list goes on of possibilities.

    Just to sum it up as "man brings gun to club, shoots self, 2 years wtf?" doesn't seem detailed enough.

  • Wiki:

    Burress had an expired concealed carry (CCW) license from Florida, but no New York license.

    On August 20, 2009, Burress accepted a plea deal that would put him in prison for two years with an additional two years of supervised release.[31]. His sentencing was held on September 22, 2009. Burress has hired a prison consultant to advise him on what to expect while in prison

    Scared stupid, I think. 2 years to stupidly harsh taken everything into context.

  • Yeah, two years is too much of a penalty for being a dumbass. Revoke his gun license. Make him speak out in favor of gun control. This is crazy punishment.

    Based on this, I think Ben Roethlisberger should have gotten 5 years in Gen Pop for that time he crashed his motorcycle and put his head through a windshield.

  • ...I gotta say that is way too much...It's not like he pulled the gun out and threatened anybody ...he accidentally shot himself

  • No priors. First time. Two things run through my head. One, he's black and he just so happen to appear in front of the wrong judge; and two, since he's an athlete, they are simply trying to make an example of him and send a message to everybody pretty much saying "look what happened to Plaxico, it can happen to you. Go get a permit". It's ridiculous either way.

  • black people are having a BADDDD month

  • 2 years is incredibly excessive. Especially for someone with no fucking priors.

  • Two years for stupidity? Boo hoo. He should just be glad he didn't shoot his nuts off.

    Hopefully this will be a lesson to others...but of course it won't.

    Only a matter of days before some other rich and famous athletes throws it all away.

  • 2 years? thats fucked up..i dont agree..he shot himslef thats more then enough..and its not like hes a rapist or something...fuck the law

  • couldn't disagree with you anymore, the man one had an illegal gun, 2. shot it with hundreds of people near by, i dont care if it was intentional, unintentional or what not, i would treat this the same way i would some1 bringing in a gun to a club and shooting it up in the ceiling, somebody's life could have been lost that night....second, this is going to set a president to people in NY, we dont fuck around when it comes to guns, and dont compare a registered gun at a rally to this please....

  • But its not fair that people bringing guns to Obama events and Chris Brown gets off with no time.

    The Law is fucked up. 2 years is a bit intense to me, when we have people doing things previously stated and getting off.

  • Yea, someone's like 'COULD HAVE' been lost that night, but no one's was. arent there supposed to be bouncers to pat ppl down, its the club's own fault

  • Thats america....Even though he could have killed another person, it did not happen.he shot himself.Thats enough of a punishment already...2 years is not only too harsh, it is wrong. By the way: nobody should ever have a gun.

  • No I think its ok. he shouldn't have brought a gun into the club and its interesting to think of the motive. Why bring a gun into a club, it could of caused a serious injury or death towards innocent people...

  • he broke the law so should be punished in some way - "letting him go" sends out the wrong message - and it is irrelevant that he shot himself: he broke the law.

    although saying that 2 years is too harsh in my opinion. i reckon like 6 months is closer to the mark.

  • YES..

  • bit rough for first offense.

  • I live in texas where you can buy assault rifles like ak 47's and take them down to Mexico and sell them to cartels for 5,000 USD. Not that I have or would ever do that but damn; two years for shooting yourself with a gun.

    New York has weird gun laws but then again I live in texas; when you're around as many racists as me you need to learn how to shoot; in my case I had to learn the art of the IED; ready for war against the GOP.

  • plaxico? this is a real person? i thought it was one of theose drugs you hear about on those dial 1-800 lawyers commercials....

  • He cost my Pats the Superbowl so I hate him, but I don't think he deserved 2 years in jail.

  • some rapist will probably get let out early to make room for plaxico lol

  • thats bullshit, thats community service at the very most, cant blame him for carrying a gun in a place like new york

  • lol at the google ads, "prison break" and "Meet gay black men" or ebony dating.

  • These people support gun control laws.

    Then they criticise the results of what their own ideology results in. How dumb is that?

    Gun control laws punish good citizens. Criminals don't care about the law, they can get guns anytime they want.

  • I don't like to call "Racism!" too often, but this TWO YEARS FOR ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTING HIMSELF?!?!?! This is racist.

  • Yesterday, you were all, YA SHE BROKE THE LAW PUT HER IN PRISON on a first offense and with mitigating circumstances, now this?

  • And she lost her job (and will not be allowed to teach again), and the probably the respect of many people she knows. That's punishment.

  • @yohaneuano4

    It's the difference between a crime that involves someone harming another, and a crime that involves someone harming himself accidentally.

  • this "show" should get life.

  • Gun control does not equate to crime control.

  • did the judge lost his/her bet in a game he played? This is just rediculous.

  • plea bargains man, but the family accepted the money

  • this is soooooooo fucked up. poor guy.

  • I liked the Chris Brown point.

    Very interesting actually how that works.

  • Why is the judge never exposed as they are the ones who make these decisions? You should do an expose on stuff like this.

  • no the judge isnt at liberty here because there is a mandatory sentence for what he did, which doesnt give the courts discretion

  • The biggest mistake he made was not registering the gun.

    2 years for shooting yourself...only in America!

  • Way too much time. Their just making an example of him.

  • 0:09 LOL at the head nod, so cute. Ana, you're awesome!

  • I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

  • Do other people with the same violation get the same punishment?

  • He could have accidentally killed someone....
