just to be a jerk
So what's it like to be wrong about Plexico? Do you really think the law should be erased for him? What outcome are you looking for?
he had to. he's apparently graduated from just stealing.and I was unhappy he left my steelers.. go figure.
and I was unhappy he left my steelers.. go figure.
Except where beer, shotguns, country fields, and skeet/trap shooting are involved.
Then it's okay.
I said a dozen times, it could be anyone...I think in this instance the mandatory sentencing is wrong...just my .02
But the laws ARE in place. Should they not be followed for him?
you are still pushing the "him" angle which has nothing to do with what I'm saying

I understand what you're trying to do here but really it can't apply in the sense you want it to.
Bloomberg wants to throw the book at Burges because he is a public figure who kids do look up to. When you are a type of role model for children your actions do matter and it does set you to a standard above the regular joe.
So the issue of Plaxico not being Plaxico, the point is moot because he is who he is, and a major player in the NFL, you can't expect him to be treated like a regular person because he isn't.
Now, in the case of a regular person concleal carrying and DISCHARGING an unregistered, ILLEGAL firearm in a crowd... of course that demands punishment to the fullest extent of the law. That's like saying a guy with a blood alcohol content of .25 who plows into a telephone pole, but doesn't hurt anyone, shouldn't be held liable for his actions. The law is the law is the law, and that is just the way it is.
Now, in terms of this being a intelligent discussion, lots of people are conveying ideas here, but all you're doing to stimulate the topic is saying, "No, that's not what I'm saying" so might I suggest you finally tell us what you ARE saying rather than telling us what you AREN'T saying? Otherwise this is a completely dead thread.
I've said it a number of times...mandatory minimum sentencing is too severe in this case because he had no intention of hurting anyone...he's getting sentenced the same as someone who stuck a pistol in a 90 year old woman's face...clearly you can see a difference between the two...it's like pre meditated murder vs. manslaughter
you are still pushing the "him" angle which has nothing to do with what I'm saying
