Doesn't seem clear to me as to what happened or why or where
I will say that the nonsense of professional athletes acting like gangsters has gone on long enough
The NFL should ban him for life if he was packing and shot himself. I don't care what the repercussions in the sport are.

Doesn't seem clear to me as to what happened or why or where, but at the same time they don;t know anything, they know it was 'accidental'. Hmmmm

does anyone appreciate how they don't know what happened, but everyone agrees it was 'accidental'? [:D]
I won't go any further with the obvious.[xx(]

sound stupid no matter how I say it
Another spoiled over paid punk, yeah, can't wait to hear the spin his legal team puts on this.
Too bad NY doesn't honor that FLA license, huh? If it were you or me, we'd be in jail for committing this crime

Click on a state to see what other state honors the license
(Click on Vermont!)
So does he have a NYC carry permit? I'd be interested how this plays out seeing as most people would be arrested on a gun charge.

No, he doesn't have a NYC permit or a New York State permit for that matter. However, he would still be breaking the law even if he did. New York State does not allow anyone to Carry/Conceal, unless you are law enforcement, in a State/Federal Building (including the Post Office), School or University, Church, or a business where their primary income comes from serving alcohol. That makes carrying his "gat" in a club illegal.
Classic cases of when a lot of money is involved, privileged people can be above the Law
Burress either deserves the same prosecution you and I would be subject to, or else the next time I want to speed and get pulled over the cop just forgives me as a matter of policy. The law is supposed to apply to everyone but some people are more equal than others!
Another example showing the need for "Minority Control".
Are you Native American? Because if you're not, then you're just as much a minority to the natives as blacks are minorities to whites. Get your head out of your *.

...coming from one who quotes Malcolm X in his signature.[V]
Why don't you use these Malcolm X quotes?:
"The death of over 120 white people is a very beautiful thing." - Malcolm X speech in Los Angeles on June 3, 1962 upon learning of a plane crash.
"The white man is the devil." - Malcolm X
I'm still wondering what a "Native American" is, since said minority group is not native to North America. Like Europeans, they traveled to these lands. They traveled to North America via the Bering Strait and we came via boat.
Wake up:
The difference isn't just "skin color"...
Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder,
and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely
than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and
Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of
the population that is black and Hispanic.
Interracial Crime
Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving
blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Fortyfive
percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are
Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are
black.
Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against
a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes
against whites than vice versa.
Gangs
Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs.
Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
Incarceration
Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139
to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39
million.
Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are
three times more likely.

I'm well aware of the statistics. That still doesn't give you the right to stereotype someone simply based on their color. Its simply a sign of immaturity. Is it safe to assume that just because I'm part German, and Germans killed millions of Jews in the 40's, that I hate Jews? Absolutely not. Is it safe to assume that because a child got mauled by a pit bull, that every pit bull is going to maul a child? Absolutely not. The chance of that pit bull mauling a child may be higher than the chance of a golden retriever mauling a child, but that does not mean we should only go after pit bulls when surely there have been retriever maulings.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
It says ALL MEN, not ALL WHITE MEN. Our founding fathers were influenced by God, and often reference God and Providence in their writings. God does not see black and white. Perhaps you should give it a try as well.

Race doesn't need to be brought into this thread. Stupid people are stupid people regardless of the color of their skin
...and if you let your child play with a Pit Bull, based on the stats, you are a damn fool.
I'm not a racist, I'm a realist and the stats don't lie. They're right from the Bureau of Justice. A minority of our population commits a disproportionate percentage of the crime.

In red above.
If a white god lived in a black neighborhood, it wouldn't be long before that god WOULD start seeing "black and white."

Like it or not, the world outside your window will show you that some "colors" seem to have a monopoly on having "stupid people" in their group.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY DUMASSS GUN POSSESSION LAWS LIKE NEW YORK!!

And if I associate with a black person, am I also a fool?
He'll survive!

No it is not safe to say that all Germans hate Jews, however it is safe to say that Nazi party members and Neo-Nazis probably hate Jews.

...and what is the predominant racial make-up of the neighborhood you live in? I invite you to please live by your words and go live amongst them. Go live in a predominantly black or hispanic neighborhood. Raise your family amongst them. Send your kids to their schools. Even Obama isn't going to do that!
Maybe his first name had sumpthin to do with it.....[:D]
He may have been better off if he had changed his name from "Plexiglass" to "Bulletproof Glass"!
