Arrington: Plaxico Punishment Doesn’t Fit Crime
Former Giants and Redskins LB Lavar Arrington wrote a piece in the Washington Post today about how his former Giants teammate, Plaxico Burress, is not being given a fair shake by the NY State Correctional system…
“Look, I understand Plaxico was breaking the law when he decided to enter the city limits with a firearm. I get that, and I’m of the thought process that if I feel like I have to carry a weapon somewhere, that’s a place that I do not need to be. But let’s face the facts: Muggings and robberies take place in big cities all the time, and for what it’s worth — although I didn’t agree with Plaxico’s decision to carry the gun — I understand completely that some people do not believe in being victimized by these miscreants of our society.”
