Bad Choices

Two days ago I was watching a show on ESPN in which former NY Giants receiver Plaxico Burress was being interviewed. He started shedding his crocodile tears during the interview. I wondered was he crying because he threw away millions of dollars or his fear of the unknown that is waiting for him in prison when he starts serving his time in September. My take is this he should have thought about all this before he decided he was gonna be that gangsta in the club. It's sad because he really seems to be a good guy who just wandered into ultimate stupidity hurting only himself. If you have to bring a gun to a club that's the last place he should be. It could have been worse the gun going off hitting a innocent bystander wounding or worse killing that person or Plaxico killing himself. There are times when we say its the white man holding us back when actually we as black people potentially become our own worst enemy. Hopefully Plaxico can learn from this and move on with his life after he serves his time.
