He'll be sentenced on September 22 -- the prosecution recommended two years in prison.

The judge says Plax will get two years or less ... unless he screws up before he gets sentenced.

Geez, one bad night...

3. This is the guy that shot himself by accident right? Gun tucked into his sweats or elastic waistband and it slipped while dancing? The absolute laughing stock of many gun oriented forums, priceless.

7.
I'm just glad I wasn't in the club dancing next to CAPTAIN RETARD!

Loaded gun, crowed dance club, no holster and safety off.

I am so glad that the person this jack-a$$ shot, was himself. LMAO

10. Dante Stallworth drove drunk and killed a guy, he got 25 days in jail...Vick didn't kill anyone and did 2 years...Plaxico shoots himself and also gets 2 seems ridiculous, but then again OJ roamed free for 10 years after whacking the heads off 2 people then finally landed in the pokey for stealing his own stuf...

11. good! who takes an unlicensed gun into a club for protection? no one but a thug. let this be a lesson to all those carrying unlicensed guns.

12. Agreed, he's a moron, but 2 years??!! Donte Stallworth ran a guy over and killed him in his car while drunk and isn't going to spend a day in jail. For some reason the prosecutors seem to be going hard at Plax.

13. "TAKE IT EASY ON HIM"?- Are you out of your mind? These guys have had it easy for far too long! Vick should have gotten alot more time as far as I'm concerned. If he hadn't gotten caught he's still be doing the same thing. All this "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" now is simply an attempt to rehab his public image. It's always the same story for every one of these pro athletes who "get caught" doing something they shouldn't. If playing in the NFL is supposed the be a "priveledge & not a right", then when do these frickin CRIMINALS actually lose that right? Doesn't look like they ever really do to me. Always someone willing to take them back no matter what they do. It makes me sick! Thanks, had to vent there.

14. I dont know guys..The guy goes out to the club for a night,
takes his gun and accidentally shoots himself.. Isnt that punishment and humiliating enough?? Ok So it was retarded!
The only person he hurt was himself. I really dont think he should do any real time.. sorry but I dont see the point...
There are alot more serious crimes against people and animals that go unpunished! This guy was just a jerk off that night.. I think he learned his lesson 2 yrs less a day, Isnt gonna make any difference! He shot HIMSELF \\\\\\\\\PEOPLE !! Duhhh

THE POINT IS.... DO YOU WANT TO BE AT THAT DANCE CLUB,MOVIE,RESTAURANT...ANY WHERE YOU GO, WITH IDIOTS LIKE THIS STANDING NEXT TO YOU HOPING THAT THE BULLET THEY FIRE OFF HITS THEM AND NOT YOU??? he put everyone in danger, that is the crime. I want to relax on my night out, not be wondering who will drop their gun next.
