Former NFL player Plaxico Burress served jail time because a loaded gun he tucked into his sweat pants before entering a strip club accidentally shot him in the leg narrowly missing his Plaxico. It’s unclear if that still counted as black on black crime. He took to Twitter and issued an extremely self righteous response to Chris Carter’s advice to NFL rookies that they should retain a “Fall guy” on their list of entourage positions, as well as someone who steals from their wallets while they’re in the shower:
“Wow! I guess I didn’t have a “fall guy”… In all seriousness, I’ve made some choices that have resulted in some consequences that I can never get back. BUT, not one time did I blame… Someone else. I’ve always stood up, been accountable, and accepted full responsibility for my actions… I’ve NEVER tried to blame somebody for my choices, decisions and the consequences I suffered.”
You shot yourself. Who else was there to blame? It would be hard to pin that crime on someone else, considering a whole titty bar saw you shoot accidentally shoot yourself. I suppose it could be society’s fault, but society is not a fall guy and that’s not what Carter was saying. You don’t get to play the hero on this one. You’re just a guy who shot himself. Back of the bus.
