who's tougher - mpd or the nba commissioner?

the big story around here is gilbert arenas and his guns. not his bicep "guns" but the unregistered firearms that he brought to work. unregistered firearms are illegal in the district of columbia and any other schmo would have caught a charge if they had been so brazen as to bring their guns to work to mess with a colleague. but not gilbert - our stellar police department gave him a pass. yep, they invited him down to the federal attorney's office to "talk" about the situation. instead of landing on "do not pass go do not collect $200," gilbert was only required to apologize! now that's top notch enforcement!

and the federal attorney were probably still giddy from meeting a real-life professional athlete and celebrity, the unfortunately, it seems as if the apology was a fake because, not long after, he was observed mocking the decision and pretending to "shoot" his teammates before the beginning of a game. i would love to say that it was THAT that pissed off mpd and they arrested him, but that would not be true. it was however that action that finally got someone to take a stand. while the mpdnba commissioner took a stand and hit gilbert where it hurts - indefinite suspension without pay.
