Former NY Giants star Plaxico Burress was just sentenced to two years in federal prison for criminal possession of a weapon.

Burress — who was surrounded by his wife, son and father — was immediately taken into custody following the hearing which happened just moments ago in New York.

Right after Plax heard his sentence, the 32-year-old NFL star hugged his wife and cradled his son. It was during this emotional moment that Plax began to tear up. The other members of Plaxico’s family also began to cry in the courtroom.

Moments later, Plaxico stood up and made a statement in front of the judge saying, “I apologize to my family … I thank everyone for their support.”

    They really wanted to make an example of this n!gga. 2 years for shooting yourself then Stallworth got 31 days for killing somebody. That sh!t don’t make no sense.

    Wow..they are NOT playin w/ these athletes!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stallworth got 31 Days because the victims family took a financial settlement as part of the deal. How much they get? Enough for them to put the situation behind them. lol

    The sad thing about this whole case is the fact that the negro is surrounded by gun holding negro hating whites yet we can not own or keep firearms. People will say this is a harsh statement but ,if you check the facts , clearly there is a no nonsence attitude in this country about nggers and guns . Where is the NAACP this man is being wrong because of his race, on a very important issue. It is important that the negro demand our rights to bare arms, but sence I was a young kid on the streets of D.C. in the midst of what the goverment called a war on drugs I have listen to one house negro after the next explain why we should not bare arms needless to say I disagree with that way of thinking, from, gun hand ins to shoes for firearms, that one was funny, nike ngger now give me your gun thats worth 4 times as much. I hope plaxico does not bow down for these former slave owners and house nggers and hold the line on his right to bare arms. It so funny that not one person has been lock-up for the 8 year old kid at gun show that was given a fully automatic, fully automatic,machine gun that when he attempted to fire it kick was so strong that the gun kept fire and shot throw his brain he die , now there are laws in the state that it happen against given a child a fully automatic weapon the deer must be really fast.

    I dont think this is a Black vs. white issue here. in NYC there is a 3.5 year minimum for carrying any unlicensed firearm, 3.5 years no questions asked. 2 Years for Burress is doing him a favor. GIANT will miss him though, damn. why you have to do it you f**king IDIOT!

    this is rasicm at its highest level a great general said the greatess victory is when you beat your enemy without firing a shot and that what these gun laws are about a gun in a nightstand does not jump up and began firing guns do not kill people, people kill people. the negro are the urban center where all these laws are in effect when you go to places like texas, arizona there carrying there guns on them so either your white with blinders or your a house ngger that like master banging your mom either way if you look at mass. not one person has been lockup for the kids death the reason is they suffered enough

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/typeflow/ typeflow

    wait, nightwolfx1..

    so you are saying, blacks are more prone to carrying unlicensed firearms? and that the law is racist because of that?

    not sure what you are saying dude.

    This dumbazz is stupid for bringing a loaded firearm into a crowded NYC nightclub like his over 6ft famous azz is going to shoot someone and not get recognized. Then he was dumb enough to shoot himself.

    This dont have shyt to do with racism, straight up dumbfcukery.

    He should have rolled with a entourage that was armed, so you dont have dirt on your hands.

    And his firearm was registered in Florida.

    THIS DUDE A CERTIFIED NOODLE…2 YEARS IN PRISON FOR SHOOTING HIS DAMN SELF….LOL…WHAT WAS HE CARRYING A GUN FOR WEARING SWEAT PANTS IN THE CLUB FROM THE DOOR…HE BOUGHT THAT S**T…..

    I think it clearly says something about the New York court system. There’s some state you don’t want to end up in their courts if you’re black. Cheny never saw the inside of a court for shooting his friend in the face. Monsanto heir, killed and sprayed the remains over his lawn with a wood chipper and he got zero jail time despite overwhelming evidence.

    See this what I don’t get now the gun he carried wasn’t an illegal handgun he just didn’t have the license. Then we got TI who was a previous multiple felon and had several illegal guns and he got 10 months. And he had a fed case. And typeflow i know the situation regarding Stallworth. Another thing is that Plaxico Burress was a victimless crime.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xXHunny-BunnyXx/ xXHunny-BunnyXx

    Guess, he really shot himself in the foot on that one….

    What do some of you mofo’S dont understand or overstand about gun laws in NYC

    Let me repeat what Typeflow said a few posts back.

    “in NYC there is a 3.5 year minimum for carrying any unlicensed firearm, 3.5 years no questions asked. 2 Years for Burress is doing him a favor.”

    They could have threw all kind of charges for shooting an pistol in a packed NYC club. That dumb mofo is lucky.

    How can u be alive in 2009 and say that race has nothing to do with this issue. Come now…let’s not be blind here…it may not be the TOTAL reason things went down the way they did,,but u best believe,,it had something to do with it. I don’t care what anyone says. Remember those cops that got off for shooting at those 3 unarmed black men…..I think over 30 times….I love New York…but some of the laws there suck big time.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/The_Mechanic1/ The_Mechanic1

    The whole f**king system is a joke……..F**k Bloomgerg, can’t wait for him to get his and f**k the law………OJ kill two human being, (he walk), puffy shot a woman in the face and (he walk) while shyne is dumb enough to take the rap for this nigga.. Again Puffy kill Biggie (he walk, Suge knight did a couple yrs for tupac’s murder, jason Williams from the NJ nets kill his driver (He walk) now you got this man that shot himself with his own gun (doing 2 yrs) that’s bulls**t, f**k NY law, f**k Bloomgerg, what he fell to realized to security guards at the club should do some times for letting him in the club with the gun,, the hell with his 2 yrs, the bouncers should have been the ones going to jail………GO Plax, you are my hero…. Giants all day……………..Fu(ck) Bloomgerg….Hope he get his one day…

    You got to be F—ing kidding me! A white cop killing a black man in NYC doesn’t get 2 years! I’ve read of people committing blatant murder and rape, don’t get 2 years! And you mean to tell me, this makes sense to the ignorant azz jury or judge that handed down this sentence, for one shooting himself!. Yes, he never should have had a loaded weapon in a crowded club in the first place, stupidity on his part. But, ain’t and yes I did write “ain’t, “Ain’t no damn way he should have gotten 2 years for shooting his own stupid azz”. Plaxico prayers go out to you and your family, God Bless!, keep the faith regardless of the circ**stances.
