Plax to prison today...

[Darth Biscuit]

Pound me in the ass prison too... holy crap I'd be scared... :eek:

[Kevin Greene]

Almost shoot your dick off and get 2 years in jail.

Man that's gotta suck.

But if you have the cash, get a driver and a body guard.

No worries.

[FLpanfan]

You've got to sympathize with the guy. Makes a stupid mistake and pays like hell for it by getting shot in the leg and hospitalized, ruins his career. Then he has to fight a legal battle and in the end has to spend two years in prison. Man. That would suck so hard. If I was Plax I probably would've shot myself again, but on purpose this time. Two years of hell and probably no career to come back to when you get out, all over a one-time mistake. Ugh. I feel for him.

[Kevin Greene]

Plax has a family, way more important.

[Darth Hater]

He'll bring new meaning to the word "wide receiver'

[Kyle82]

I don't think he's got to be worried about getting plowed in the ass....he'll have people to 'protect' him.

Agreed - stupid sentence.

[Falcons1stPanthers2nd]

Stupid mistake but sentence is absurd.

[Darth Biscuit]

Yes, the sentence is quite harsh, but again, he's being made an example of since he's famous so that everyone will see, don't carry a gun in NYC. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid and now he's paying for it... big time.

Just wondering, not being much of a gun enthusiast myself, is it safe to say that his first mistake was having a round chambered at the time? I mean who the hell walks around with a hot weapon? Or do people typically keep a round in the chamber so they don't have to cock it if trouble starts?

I keep mine loaded with the safety on at all times.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

This is a BS sentence. 6 months jailtime with a 2 year parole would have still been harsh but a lot more just.

Cop shoots a kid with a toy gun, he gets 2 weeks paid leave. Football player shoots himself, he gets 2 years in prison.

Poor Plax. I wish him the best of luck.

[Guild]

He got made an example of... sucks for him. He should've been smart enough to have a crony carry the gun rather than his multimillion dollar self.

[FLpanfan]

Most of the time I hate how players are made examles of in the courts, when the crimes are victimless or with mitigating circumstances. A year or two ago my family hired a guy to do some contracting work with us, who was unemployed and just got out of jail. He was drafted by an NFL team (probably the Panthers, since he was imprisoned in NC), went to a party and had sex with a girl who said she was 21. Two weeks later he was brought up on stat rape charges. He was convicted and at sentencing the judge explicitly said in front of everyone that he was going to make an example of the guy, and he got like 2 years and I think he got sex offender status.

They just ruin these guys' careers over nothing, and I can't stand that. Plax shot himself in the leg. The other guy was basically trapped. It's rediculous. Judges shouldn't make examples out of anyone, just enforce the laws and sentence convicts appropriately.
