NH: Plaxico Burress Jail Term - Thoughts

I think there's no doubt that the sentence was handed down with the deterrent factor in mind. It does seem like quite a strict penalty, but on the other hand I don't feel particularly sorry for him. I mean, he's all sorry and contrite now, but before the incident he was pretty brash and arrogant in general... I must admit, I already thought he was a tool before the shooting incident. Hopefully he hasn't already whittled away his millions and can still support his family when he gets out, regardless of whether he gets another NFL gig.

pretty harsh for Cheddar Bob to go to jail for that length of time, maybe he can make a football team inside and play the guards and they could make a movie about it?

Its the laws, and he was stupid enough to do it in the State of New York, which has strict federal laws and the judiciary (judges) are not scared to impose harsh sanctions. If Burress escaped a Jail term, it would only encourage other 'gangsters' to bring guns into clubs and other public arenas..Personally, I thought the sanction was just and a way of reminding other individuals that bringing guns into public places will not be tolerated. He went to jail, and that's going to help deturr crime and discourage others from doing the same. Hopefully, that reduces the murder rate in New York, and specifically the number of nightclub/club/bar stabbings or shootings.
