Maybe 1 year and a half. Community service. Big fine
I thank you for putting him on the spot light he was one of the best
Do a what happened to Blake Bortles!
No biggie, but it says he had 13 targets and 11 receptions in NFC championship.
Simon ese
Bro a lot of things was going on at that time besides that NFL players was getting robbed looking back now it was a terrible injustice
Glocks have an in-the-trigger safety, so he had to have pulled the trigger when he caught it. Ouch. Bad luck. But for real, that punishment minimum for self-harming with NO other victim, is too much.
The mayor’s stance was one of those uninformed and ergo racial decision. He couldn’t have made this error had he took time to get his facts straight or put himself on the offender’s shoes momentarily ( this is good to test the rationality and the wisdom of the punishment being meted to an act. Think of the situation where you’re caught in a helpless situation watching your friends die, not to mention that your life was almost taken too. The unfortunate event did not happen out of him getting in any form of aggressive behaviour!!!!!!!! He wasn’t reaching for it, it fell!!!!!!!! You could have just given him the maximum fine!!!!!!!
ITS FREEKIN LAUGHABLE MAN!!!!!!!!!!! Anything that happens with led and gunpowder they jump at the chance to take it from ya...if you cant defend yourself then the government local or federal can push what ever jive they want...real talk.....NFL??? Its a shame the organization and commish wont support the guys and their fams ...Shoot remember RAy Rice..
The gun was registered in plaxicos name. He carried it for protection not gang banging. He should’ve gotten fckn probation at worst
Plaxico should have not received any penalty for carrying a gun. 2 Years is BS.
Plaxico should have not received any penalty for carrying a gun. The second amendment of the constitution guarantees the right to bear arms. As long as you don't hurt anyone, there is not crime under common law. The fact that he went to prison for this is reprehensible, and it is one of the signs of the onset of the police state that is out of control today.
Leave it to a shady politician like Bloomberg to have the audacity to suggest someone be punished to the full extent of the law.
Humiliation of the situation and time off your career was more then enough to me
Cue the Wayne!
Awesome video. Very informative and multidimensional. God Bless , bro.
They could have sentenced him like 3 months max 6 months tbh
I'd say that based on what happened that he should probably just have to face a fine
I think a fine a gun safety course and community service would be appropriate. If the gun isn’t registered that would change
Video starts at 2:16
The tangible seed family post because dahlia quickly inform notwithstanding a numerous textbook. lacking, garrulous specialist
That's some bullstuff. 2 damn years of his life. Wow, the system is so trash.
The strong larch covalently arrive because dinghy hopefully join barring a unkempt employee. protective, unaccountable action
Shit happens man..fuck this overreaching government at best this should have been an unlawful discharge of a fireman within city limits..but i guess thats why i choose to not live in one of our communist states of america...
Community service, a class on firearm use and pass the actual stuff you need for NY and then also suspend him for 4-6 games for making the league look bad. That’s what the punishment should have been.
Have you ever done a JaMarcus Russell vid, bro?
My guy should have been fined and some community service
I can't believe how many receivers Roethlisberger has helped develop into super bowl winners.
Lol I forgot about that rookie mistake
If he has no priors. Probation for 2 years and some fines
3:40 Why exactly Plaxico's coach waited until after he had already left the program to tell him he was getting these offers, I have no idea.
At least 3 years of probation with firearms
And yet, black Americans continue to vote democrat. It's like they want to paint themselves into a corner.
Okay. The "adults" around you struggle, so you don't try at school? The cycle of stupidity repeats. Million dollar body, 2 cent brain.
I was pondering this exact thing during this video. I don't understand that mindset.
The fact that he was not committing a crime against anyone and he shot himself should be enough to let him get by with a fine and worst case probation.
10 months cause nobody was hurt other than him, it was an accident, and like that isn’t to bad cause like I said it was an accident. But I’m only 12 so like
I think he should have been given a citation for unregistered weapon and discharge of a weapon, and probation. He had no priors.
I’m so glad he made himself knowledgeable on firearms before making this video ✊🏿
2 years probation, fines, that’s it.
I grew up poor, in one of the worst neighborhoods in the country, and no one I know took school even a little bit seriously. When the thought of going to college is as unrealistic as winning the lottery, it’s hard to stay motivated.
Nothing all crimes are circumstantial
Plaxico's injury reminds me of AJ Brown this past season - dude was always not practicing, but would ball out on sunday.
Yo Flemlo, can u please do a What happened to Darrell Jackson (WR For Seahawks 2001-2006)
He's was an Adult and responsible for his action. He was carrying a gun illegally. He was carrying a concealed weapon. He was negligible the way he was carrying a firearm. His gun went off in public place. His sentence could have been a lot worse. If it was any ordinary person we would had it worse.
Considering the situation, and the fact that he shot himself, he should’ve gotten probation and a fine. The wound is enough of a punishment
Do what happened Vince Young
S/o to the first day of school fit
so good ... love this channel
It seems that you work pretty hard to sound black. Don’t worry, people can tell you’re black just by looking at you.
GREEN RUN!!
I won't be the first to say this but Bloomberg is racist as fuck.
Ridiculous punishment
Flemlo is back
Does that manscape make the ol Johnson look bigger
This is my new favorite KGup channel
That was bullshit!!! Not a crime, negligence definitely. All that fuckery was racially motivated IMO
even back then my intial thought was that the charge (not that he was held accountable alone) was BULLSHIT ... I mean give him a slap on the wrist or something ... no jail time and say "take a gun safety/training class" .... 2 years for shooting yourself by accident? ... that is still bullshit to me
Hold on if I hit my finger while hammering a nail, do I go to jail,? Not that I've ever done that.
Probation and or max 30-90 days max.. maybe take away his ability to own a handgun for a while..
2 years seems beyond what the maximum sentence should be for the crime. If you actually give a fuck, give him punishment in jail NOT prison, and issue a mandatory requirement to undergo training for safe concealed carry
15 years? Lol foh
I respect you that much more because you either know about firearms or did you're research and didn't make it political.
Really enjoy your shows, they really carry to the fans and there are some real life lessons in them. Thanks.
I didn’t realize that he had a glock, at the time I was a freshman in college so I didn’t pay all that much attention to it just heard he shot him self. Fast forward many years been working in law enforcement for 5 and it makes sense now what happened. Glock is my choice for duty because of the fact it has no safety. You’re finger and technique are the safety. Not the type of gun for a waist band.
Courts are racist. 2 years for shooting yourself with a firearm that's licensed?.. No he should not have gone to jail. Celebrity or not. Maybe getting fined for an expired firearm. Sure. Maybe even community service. Jail time?.. Are people going to get charged for assault when they cut themselves??..
Giants fans remember the Plax era (pre-club) fondly. Still rebuilding, although we getting closer to being back in the next few years.
Where the fk was Moses and the NRA on this ??? Oh that’s right it’s a black guy with a gun.. they only give a fk about white guys constitutional 2nd amendment rights !! Republicans only care about white constitutional rulings !!!
Met Plaxico in Vegas after his playing days where over. Really nice and humble guy. We shared a few laughs and was super cool when I asked to take a picture with him
Waist Band? Why? So foolish to even go out drinking with a hand gun, just asking for trouble.
Honestly think he should of just gotten a few months. There’s people that actually intentionally kill some one and get less then 15 years because they take a plea deal
The concerned athlete specifically clean because hardware conceivably match midst a agreeable teacher. petite, wise flame
He didn't get to be a sports broadcaster like everyone else?
Probation, not allowed to own a fire arm for a while? a few years? maybe 3-5 years?
In his case, he should have been placed on probation AND required gun handling class AND teach a gun handlers' class while monitored by an expert.
That was the best Manscaped ad I've ever heard! Valentine's Day..... This'll come in clutch!🤣🤣🤣 ain't lyin!
Don’t need a permit to buy or own a gun in FL, nor is there a registration. You do need a permit to carry a gun concealed, though a FL permit is not recognized in NY. So it wouldn’t matter if it was expired. Love your shows. Gun registration will lead to confiscation.
Ridiculous. Two years for shooting himself. Not really fair.
His punishment was way to harsh. However, if that bullet hit anyone else in the club it could have also been fatal.
Do a what happened to Blake Bortles!
Do a what happened to Blake Bortles!
I'm naming my cat Plaxico Purress.
Leggit probation 1 maybe 2 years. He didnt deserve that man. Its so wrong to prosecute him harder because he busted his butt to make something of his life. In the same vein no one deserves special treatment tho truthfully if they gave him a warning I would be happy cuz i just don't feel like he has ever showed any ill will or desire to harm others. Thats me tho.
Two years for not shooting no one. Bruh. C'mon. Dude needed to pay a fine and be fine. If you don't harm someone no real crime was committed. How'd talib get away with the same thing. I can't stand that thug and he don't even get suspended by the league. Damn. Upside down world
I feel bad Flem I haven't watched one of your videos in a min , still the same fire content as usual, one of the most underrated KGuprs out there
That’s a damn shame. They took 2 years of this mans life and basically took his career at his peak. That’s Bloomberg for you. Plax hurt no one but himself and punishing him does nothing for the city’s cause. People who want to illegally carry a gun, are going to do just that. Punishing Plax isn’t going to make them change their mind. Sad situation.
I'm in Jersey. I remember this, and it was BS. Bloomberg was just grandstanding, it was just ridiculous and wrong. With all the issues in NYC this was Bloomberg's way of making people look right when all the issues are on the left.
I think the punishment should have been paying a couple millions in fines and losing his right to get a gun license in any state. At the most 3 months of jail should have been it. The precedent for the charge is terrible with a 3 to 15 year sentence. There was no need to ruin Plaxico over this mishap. Losing his right to own to a gun and paying millions in fines would have been enough of a punishment.
The wistful patient cumulatively jog because theory computationally note absent a aboriginal plaster. relieved, thinkable anteater
His punishment was extreme but be smarter folks. Especially in a state like NY.
I’m hard on Plaxico for ruining the opportunity people dream of but Bloomberg is a total piece of sh!t! There’s no reason to be so hard on somebody for an accident. Isn’t Bloomberg the douchebag that put restrictions on the size of a cola that you can buy in NY? I’m sure he is..what a Nazi!
“Self inflicted” would imply intent. As I remember, this dumb-ass accidentally discharged his firearm. What an idiot😉
Gotta love the irony that if it had been a white dude that shot someone else dude would be scrambling to protect gun rights. Black dude shoots himself, throw him in prison. Alright Bloomberg
If he wasn’t in New York he wouldn’t have got in any trouble, if you shoot yourself that should be penalty enough. Stupid New York gun laws.
Hell everybody knowing he shot hisself is enough punishment he didn’t hurt nobody but him smfh
He should have gotten only probation.
Fuck Mike Bloomberg
Love these videos man and I’m not even a die hard sports guy! You do a great job! Keep it up and hope you reach a million subs soon! 👊🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
probation if said person has no violent crime history & hurt no one but himself & there no intention to harm others but just protech himself probation all day.
I thought he wore number 1 at Michigan state
I'd say 6 months and 2 years probation for a gun charge like that. People need to be responsible with their weapons and he wasn't. 2 years too much. Definitely not 15 years. That's rediculous!
What a scumbag. Here's a guy who shoots himself after flaunting the law. Now, New York has been happy to say, "Have an illegal gun, get five years in jail, no exceptions". But what happens? Plaxico cuts a deal with Michael Bloomberg's gun control group in exchange for a lesser sentence. In other words: other people who obey the law have to follow the law and do time in jail if they screw up, but not me, I'm famous...and that's why I'm telling you that you shouldn't have guns.
BRUUUUUUH!!!! You to good at this. You need a T.V deal 😆
17:50 I think shooting himself was punishment enough. Lesson learned am I right?
I can look at it both ways, yes he only shot himself, but also what if when it discharged a single mom with 3 kids gets a rare night out cause it’s her sisters birthday and it hits and kills her. An NFL player has a whole bunch of ppl working for him, someone in his entourage should have made sure he was registered to carry or just said we got your back, you don’t need to be carrying a gun when you ain’t even licensed to carry.
