63. T.I. (Too Ignorant) shouldn't have any worries in PRISON -- he's SUCH a tough guy, such a bad ass, right? He'll be whimpering like a school girl within 5 minutes. Enjoy the chow, loser!

64. Was he caught with the guns or is it just a body guard was arrested and is trying to save his own ass by snitching? No guns in TI's possesion = no case. When and if they find the guns, they better find some finger prints on them as well. Then again maybe the body guard will say he wiped them clean.

66. T.I. (Too Ignorant) should have called OJ (Prune Juice) and Michael ConVick if wanted protection: Prune Juice could have provided the guns and ConVick the attack dogs.

69. Repulsed


yeah, Oprah is about as white as they come. look at her audience any day of the week. 98% white women, her style, if you watched when she did the road trip, She is so far from black america that it makes no sense. what does she do to help the poor black kids in America? Nothing, but she built a multi-million dollar school in Africa (but it was only for girls). To the media it makes her look like a saint. Most people I know wonder WHY she didn't build it here for the people whom she "says" she is one of.

70. Michael ConVick was gonna weigh in on the TI (Too Ignorant) issue, but he was busy electrocuting his parakeet.

71. Why didn't TI (Too Ignorant) just hire OJ (Prune Juice)?

72. TI (Total Idiot) will be playing the flesh trombone in the prison band

73. "Arrest Comes After Harris, a Convicted Felon, Accepted Delivery of Machine Guns and Silencers; Additional Guns Found In Harris' Vehicle and House" Good for the feds. I hope they nail his a**. What does a rapper/musician need with machine guns/firearms and silencers, whose also a convicted felon for anyway....maybe to shoot some critics who hurt his little feelings? I can see his defense strategy now: "But your honor, my body guard lied and the bogey-man put those things in my house and car....not me."

Violence has already been escalating in our country as is and there has been a lot of violence surrounding rap musicians, and now this.

74. This goof had an assortment of weapons in his closet at home, as well as a loaded handgun under his car seat when the sting went down. Even if the machinme guns and silencers charge doesnt stick----they can still get his ass as a convicted felon possesing weapons and he will in fact do jail time.

Hate to see it happen, I mean the guy does seem like a decent person when not pretending through lyrics and a microphone. I guess some folk just get caught up in the whole image thing, which in his line of work includes weapons. His career might be put on hold for the next 10-20 years of both Federal and possible State Prison time.

I would imagine his name came to the Feds, ATF (the worst and most unforgiving of all law enforcement) through a bust they did on a different illegal weapons purchase and they gave up the bodyguard who gave up I.T. HOpe I.T. has somebody to snitch on, else he'll do the whole sentence. Course if he snitches, that presents a whole different scenario when he gets to the Big House.

Time to man up and do the time for doing the crime. Wasnt like he didnt know it was wrong. Just so sad Entertainers and Sports Stars these days seem to lose sight of what is important and end up doing really really stupid things that cost them dearly. Maybe they need new handlers and bodguards as they sure arent getting good advice.

75. He sounds like he knows what he is doing.....its Atlanta....and if you are running with the big boys a 22 gun won't do it....like taking a knife to a gun fight.............
