He did “accidentally” shoot himself in a public place, didn’t he?
Stupid idiot coulda killed someone.
Exactly, but someone with his kinda cash could lawyer up, claim self-defense, and a Manhattan jury would let him walk.
Meantime, all he shoots is himself, and he’s facing serious jail time.
Not being callous or cavalier, but let’s be reasonable.
If that mental midget Plaxico Burress used a proper holster instead of shoving a Glock in the waistband of his sweatpants, he wouldn’t be in this hot water in the first place.
“Reasonable” is accidentally shooting himself when no other people are in harm’s way.
What if he was in Mumbai/Bombay while it was under attack?
He'd be even dumber.
It takes multiple levels of stupidity to shoot yourself with a Glock accidentally. Is there any chance he got shot and just doesn’t want to “snitch”?
He would have died. (keep in mind he’s an idiot)
He probably still would have shot himself in the leg, except with a lesser hospital to visit to seek treatment. Apparently the handgun slipped from its place (shoved in his sweatpants) and he tried to grab it before it clattered to the ground. He unfortunately engaged the trigger and the rest is history. That dude seriously needs to learn how to wear pants with belt loops, a sturdy belt, and a proper holster with covering garment.
I understand your point of an armed society but let us remove dumbasses in sweatpants. no foul
There was a metal detector at the entrances to the club. He probably had the only gun in the place and he shot himself with it. That's self attack; not self defense.
This ass involved a lot of other people in his stupidity who will pay a harsh price for ever knowing the jerk too. I hope they put him in a cell with OJ, so OJ can explain to him the proper use of weapons.
Not really, all you have to do is pull the trigger, and you can get a negligent discharge.
Gee, if Plaxico shot the author . . . no big deal, he would just be shooting Blanks.
This would be an ideal opportunity for jury nullification. Unfortunately for Plaxico, he probably won’t be able to get male football fans on his jury.
Since the Giants are headquartered in New Jersey, and if I recall correctly, the mayor didn’t even want to give them a parade when they won the SUper Bowl for that reason, what do they owe NYC?
The 'Islamophobia' canard after Mumbai
The Miracle Tank Of Legend Who has the treadhead list?
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
yeah, I agree with your Bombay comment.
Yeah but what cool movie star or rapper uses a holster?
Damn near shot himself in a pubic place.
