I know Plaxico was having a tough year, getting suspended for a game, causing some drama on a great team, being hurt and not being able to play this last week, but shooting yourself in the leg is no answer for those questions. No, but on a more serious note, why do this guy get cuffed when he’s headed into the jail? He turned himself in, has cameras everywhere, it’s not like he’s a real threat. I’m sorry, but i have a problem with cops or “law enforcement” taking these kind of precautions in this case. I also think things like this should be a little more private. Sure, I know Plaxico is accused of a crime, but there’s no reason for every New York camera crew to be allowed to film this guy getting taken into custody. What a joke. I mean, people that are thinking and using their intelligence don’t shoot themselves in the leg, but what happened to a little privacy? He didn’t accidentally shoot someone else, or even worse didn’t purposefully shoot someone. He shot himself, right in the legs that helped get him the millions of dollars that he makes. Is it okay that he had an illegal gun? Hell no. No rich person in the US should ever be caught with an illegal firearm. They are rich enough to get one legally, and having one illegally is just plain laziness. But please, stop treating the situation like Plax is a murderer and start treating it like he’s a dumb ass. And as for Antonio Pierce – I’m a citizen that follows the laws, no doubt about it, but if my good buddy shot himself in the leg with an illegal pistol, I would probably try to hide it for him, and I would definitely do my best to get him to a safe place and keep him out of as much trouble as possible. But nobody seems to understand that. Don’t be an idiot, think like a good friend, and if you wouldn’t do the same, you aren’t a good friend.
