OPINION: Unnecessary Roughness on Plaxico Burress


By Casey Gane-McCalla

December 3, 2008 3:22 pm

What would this person consider enough? I understand he did not have a license, New York is famous for their tough gun laws. This man (Plaxico) is facing 20
months minimum and did not hurt a soul. The only people who are suffering... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I hate guns. Even when I had to train to use them. People don&#39;t realize that unless you are living a lifestyle that calls for you to have a gun on the

<br>
Sorry, but this is all about the double standard that goes along with being Black in the empire called the U.S.  Everyone wants to point the finger at Plaxico
but no one wants to concentrate on the real problem...why is it so dangerous in the first place that folkz want/need to carry firearms?

To this B lo Tim character (who must be white or wants to be...).  If you find it difficult to believe that NYC won&#39;t issue gun permits to Blacks maybe you
need to go... ]]></description>

Yeah, it takes responsibility to actually carry/conceal loaded weapons. Otherwise, its deemed illegal especially if you do not take the needed steps in
obtaining a permit...simple stuff! I&#39;m sure there&#39;s all sorts of athletes, black or otherwise, that carry weapons with and, sometimes, without permits.
You have to realize that though they may frequent NYC, they don&#39;t always live there...there&#39;s security for that!

these things are relevant to me. Very simply put, I don&#39;t want someone that irresponsable carying a gun on the same streets I&#39;m on. So the law is
carying not stupidity who cares how the system takes him off the streets it just needs to be done.
