Applebee's favorite son Harris Smith Plaxico Burress shoot a hole in his thigh

Burress surrendered to authorities this morning, and this afternoon New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg offered a scathing rebuke of Plax's actions. Via the Daily News:

"It's pretty hard to argue the guy didn't have a gun and that it wasn't loaded," said Bloomberg, lashing out at the Super Bowl receiver. "You've got bullet holes in and out to show that it was there." ...

"And I don't think that anybody should be exempt from [three-and-a-half years in the slammer for illegally carrying a loaded handgun]," he added. "And I think it would be an outrage if we don't prosecute to the fullest extent of the law."

NBC New York's Josh Alper writes that Bloomberg also "excoriated New York Cornell Hospital for not reporting the gunshot wound to 'Harris Smith' ... after he went there for treatment and slammed Plax's employers as well. Contrary to previous reports, Bloomberg said the team did not notify the NYPD about the shooting."
