T.I. Makes Bail!

46. What is USA becoming? Why is T.I. being treated so harshly for weapon's possession? Did he murder somebody? Did he kill a cop? I think it is unfair the way he is being treated. It is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment and should be condemned totally by all fair-minded Americans because it is unconstitutional.

47. To: For Real: there is a difference between a typo and the deliberate mangling of the English language. You are so keen on keeping it real so here is the reality; felons purchasing machine guns off of the streets are criminals. Criminals belong in prison. Clifford and others like him are the ones destroying the black community, not whites or anyone else. Black on black crime is epidemic. Focus on that, loser.

48. Hey idoits! It has nothing to do with being black.If you think having a machinegun is no big deal then you live next door to him with your kids.Enough wit down playing what he did and grow up.Is there such a thing as accoutability any more? machinegun and silencer are two types of dark and evil things for some one like this thug to have.Stop with the its a set up and grow up!

49. What’s appalling is how the laws of our great country are constantly being dissected, challenged and discriminated against in an attempt to meet the needs of fools and criminals. Anyone having illegal guns in their homes gets to meet our countries federal gov’t. –Where is the gladness for our own protection?

Maybe we should be teaching right from wrong in our schools in 1st grade since what should be a ‘no brainier’ is better understood. This way the most popular phrase of “it’s a set-up” is no longer viewed as an alterative in lacking common sense. Unless they are learning to say that at home or within their gangs, then the courts will have to decide, which is exactly where they are within our country today.

I am so sick of hearing “it’s a set-up” as a lying excuse over living an honorable, truthful life. Better yet, take one of our 50 and let them fight it out themselves. Can't come back until you're ready to be civil and follow the RULES, like the rest (period)

T.I. I'M GLAD YOU HOME BABY!!! AND DONT WORRY ABOUT A THING CAUSE AS YOU SAID ON YOUR LAST CD "HELP ON THE WAY!"

51. What I would like to know is, yes, the constitution gives you the right to bear arms, but, why would anyone need machine guns with silencers. The only purpose that those weapons were invented for is to kill humans and nothing else, so therefore, anyone who buys these weapons are buying them for the purpose of killing another human. Therefore, TI aint such a great looking guy now, is he. Which poses the question, who was he planning to kill, and don't anyone dare tell me he needed them for protection, cause that is a load of crap. Way back when that constitution was written, most people had guns for hunting animals because that is how they fed their families. Unfortunately, the writing is too generic and thugs like TI seems to think that it gives him the right to have guns that are intended for one purpose only. TO KILL HUMANS. Maybe it's just me, but that part of the constitution needs to be re-defined.

Just because you don't like what people say, does not mean that they do not have the right to say it. It is a public forum. Deal.

53. Very simple why he needed silencers and handguns ...
He is a SCOFFLAW! Look that up. It's old school for THUG ...
which is exactly what this piece of human garbage is. You
don't think that he intended to take the machine guns with him
to an elementary school fund raiser do you?

54. Many insist that they be GIVEN a free ride. There is now way in hell they are going to earn it. They have an overabundance of excuses when what they need to do is take a look in the mirror. I'm sure there is some snappy comeback for this statement as well.
LAZINESS ... EXCUSES ... CRIME.

55. Authorities say that on Oct. 13, about an hour before a scheduled performance at the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, Harris showed up to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers. He already had three guns in his car — one of them loaded — when he was arrested, authorities say.

Harris, 27, faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count.

56. Another one bite the dust. There is one thing I know and that God. We can point finger and look one in the eye, but if we don't stop hating, killing and breaking the other rules we will never get to Heaven. This goes out to everydody earth is a blueprint and one thing about earth whatever you steal or take it can't leave the ground. So do God a favor start making reservation for Heaven. Hating want get you there and yes, there is a hell. So to anyone that find themselves to bite the dust remember God caught it in time and your're just one soul he save.
Have a good day

Posted at 2:35AM on Oct 28th 2007 by I told you so

57. Told you so--- no need here
I too am sick of the negativity that rap is representing to our young. Not feeling the love with the---ho-killing-n-words--f-words-b-words in lyrics to what is supposed to be classified as songs???
Now guns w/silencers about an hour before an awards program that is meant to be fun and entertaining???

60. Well what I have to say is, we have to pray that God will find opportunity in this young man life to save him. We know that the devil desires to keep our people in darkness. I know church people that hasn't done the works of T. I from the strories written. I don't condemm him, I pray that in his distress, God will find opportunity to turn him around. He sent his only begotten Son that event the worldly people would be saved. Repent, and turn from your wicked way, which we all have been there, and be free from the law, and step into God's army now. I pray you get through this, it may not be what you want, but we pray it change your out look on life. Don't let the enemy continue to decieve you. Ask Jesus into your heart and confess he died for you. You have a good message, turn it around so we can allow the younger generations to be saved, focus on career goals, and it's ok to have money. We need money, but we don't want the world to sink once these doctors, lawyers, nurses, pilots, etc. time is up. The world function from wisdom, not foolishness. If you have kids, you want them to have the good life, and it' s not all going to be from fancy cars, rap music, and cds. Not condemming you, but I want you to see the bigger picture. It's the seeds planted for the future, you made it big, make a difference. I love you,

God's Minister 2007
