Rapper T.I. has just plead guilty to federal weapons possession charges -- and will spend one year behind bars!
T.I., real name Clifford Harris, will begin his sentence after completing at least 1,000 hours of community service -- talking to kids about the dangers of drugs, gangs and guns.
The rapper plead guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm, possession of machine guns and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

1. He pled guilty as has this gone to trial and found guilty he would do an automatic 10 years for the automatic weapons and being a convicted felon. Smart move, this way he only does one year.
But bad move all the way around---to think such success, fame and fortune and he has to arm himself and make arrangements to get more weapons...he will pay dearly in the penitentary for protection and will be extorted, shamed and "protected" by those who will abuse him even when he does pay...but paying up will save his life. A very sad situation that was quite preventable.
Please dont come back to Society with the cess pool of knowledge and hate you will gain from this experience...leave us alone and stay away from weapons.

8. Maybe, if we gave all the rappers and hip hop thugs guns................they would just kill each other. Then the taxpayers wouldn't have to pay to keep them fed in prison!

12. So he will get to stay OUT of jail for at least 5 months with all of that community service. That is idiotic. He needs to sit in jail for the year he was sentenced to and THEN do his community service.

13. Hey #9.... It looks like the "hood" did you some good. Great spelling, sentence structure and way to express your thoughts. LOL!
Next month when you check in with your probation officer, ask him/ her to sign you up for some adult education classes so you know how to speak intelligently.. without speaking ebonics.
I can only imagine the best thing you can do is make kool-aid.

14. #13 - Well played! Perhaps #9 should have paid attention in school rather than play with his cellphone all day, texting his "thugz." What a loser.
