Am I the only one who feels that Plexiglas got a raw deal? I mean he was basically railroaded by the DA and Mayor Flip-Flop, err Bloomberg saying he was going to serve jail time. I understand gun laws in New York are "tougher", but how does Plexiglas shooting himself with a concealed weapon equate to 2 years, while Michael Vick sets humans back about 2000 years to the time of Gladiators but instead of humans, it's dogs who fight to the death, and he got the same amount. I don't mind Plexi going to jail, but 2 years is taking it to the extreme. Could you imagine the University of Memphis getting the "Death Penalty" for Derek Rose's one year layover? But at least the DA will leave with his last impression being "a good one"...
