The Travesty of Plaxico Bruress’ Sentence

One of the rear seminal moments of elitist hypocrisy is a situation which happened on live TV during the now cancelled Rosie O’Donnell show. Rosie had invited Tom Selleck of Magnum PI fame to be a guess on her show-he was pitching his new television movie. When Mr. Selleck arrived, he was ambushed by Rosie about his poor judgment for his ardent support of the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment. As Rosie’s audience roared in support, Mr. Selleck calmly told Rosie that when he came into her studios…her security were armed with 9 millimeter weapons…the look on her face was priceless. Today, a travesty took place in New York; Mayor Bloomberg and District Attorney Morgenthau vigorously prosecuted Plaxico Burress, a football player, who took an unlicensed gun to a club and accidentally shot himself in the leg. Someone explain to me the utility or who will be deterred in placing Mr. Burress in jail for two years, especially a man who has no criminal record. As of last year, an athlete playing for Washington Redskins was killed in his home; a basketball player from the Houston Rockets was carjacked and shot; A Denver Broncos football player was killed in his SUV-I can only guess what would have happened if those athletes were armed, but I am certain they would have had a better chance of protecting themselves. In Crown Heights where my Jewish brothers and sisters congregate, there are times we see on the local news of all sort of crimes occurring there, especially money laundering and crimes against women seeking the Get (Jewish Divorce)…then we hear nothing else about said crimes because the powers that be like Mayor Bloomberg and District Attorney Morgenthau influenced the process. Tomorrow is the Sabbath and both Morgenthau and Mayor Bloomberg, if they are practicing Jews, will leave to go to temple; accompanying both men will be their respective retinues of security armed with sub-machine weapons. Mayor Bloomberg may have the wealth of the poet King Solomon--but on this issue of calling for the incarceration of Plaxico Burress--he sure lacks his wisdom….
