| | | So he had a gun at a night club and shoots himself in the leg. You have to admit, that's pretty funny.  I suspect the charges are for discharging a firearm in public? Or maybe a concealed weapon charge? |

Hopefully they will send a message and prosecute him to the full extent of the law. |

My bet is he gets off with a slap on the wrist. |

He faced similar charges and I don't think he did jail time. |

History has proven that NYC seems to go very easy on illegal gun toting celebs and their wannabe "body guards". Both P Diddy and Jay Z got nothing more than slaps on the wrists  NYPD cops get in more trouble for use of force

What Vick did was malicious with a ridiculous degree of pre-meditation and intent to harm/torture/kill.

If you can't handle a firearm properly, then don't handle one. I'm not too sure on NYC laws but I know in Chicago (and all of IL for that matter) it's illegal to carry a concealed weapon. I believe it's a misdemeanor anywhere outside of a sporting event, court of law, a school or liquor serving establishment. Carry in any those places and you're being charged with a felony. They could slap this guy with numerous charges, but I'll bet he gets off with probation and maybe some community service and a stiff fine. I highly doubt he'll serve any jail time, which is what he should receive.
Then again, he did already take a bullet to the thigh so some might think that's some punishment right there? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
