The Travesty of Plaxico Buress’ Incarceration
 Photo Credit: Ted Kerwin of Fickr. I am told that one of the rare seminal moments of elitist hypocrisy is a situation which happened on live TV during the now canceled Rosie O’Donnell show. Apparently, Rosie had invited Tom Selleck of Magnum PI fame to be a guess on her show – he was pitching his new television movie. When Mr. Selleck arrived, he was ambushed by Rosie about his poor judgment for his ardent support of the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment. As Rosie’s audience roared in support, Mr. Selleck calmly told Rosie that when he came into her studios, her security were armed with 9 millimeter weapons. I am told that the look on Rosie’s face was priceless. Over a year or so ago, a travesty took place in New York; Mayor Bloomberg and District Attorney Morgenthau vigorously prosecuted Plaxico Burress, a football player who took an unlicensed gun to a club, and accidentally shot himself in the leg. Someone explain to me the utility of placing Burress in jail, or who has been deterred in placing Mr. Burress in jail for two years, especially for a man who has no criminal record. Two years ago, an athlete playing for the Washington Redskins was killed in his home down in Florida; a basketball player from the Houston Rockets was carjacked and shot; and a Denver Broncos football player was killed in his SUV- I can only guess what would have happened if those athletes were armed, but I am certain they would have had a better chance of protecting themselves. In a couple of days will be the Sabbath – both Morgenthau and Mayor Bloomberg, if they are practicing Jews, will leave to go to temple. Accompanying both men will be their respective retinues of security, armed with sub-marines weapons. Bloomberg may have the wealth of the poet King Solomon — but on this issue of championing the incarceration of Plaxico Burress – he sure lacks his wisdom. |

agree with this 100% and have felt this way since day one…those guys are getting attacked in the street left and right.,…he did not deserve what he got…set him free now.
New York City Gun laws are pretty strict. It doesn’t matter that he is a football star. The law should still apply. The point of placing him is jail is he broke the law, and a not a minor one. Weapons charges are a serious offense. Its not like a speeding ticket. Plaxico was just ignorant and stupid for not knowing NYC gun laws and then discharging his weapon (on himself) in a nightclub in New York. Sad really.
