T.I. Pleads Guilty to Federal Weapons Charges

Monday, March 31, 2008
By: Kenny Rodriguez


T.I.T.I. has pleaded guilty to federal weapons charges – and as the Atlanta rapper waits an entire year for his jail sentence, he is expected to complete at least 1,000 hours of community service.

T.I., born Clifford Harris, was told on Thursday that he must complete at least 1,000 hours of community service, which includes talking to youth groups about the dangers of guns, drugs, and gang activity.

Harris, 27, pled guilty to several counts of gun possession, stemming from his arrest in October 2007 for allegedly trying to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers.

The platinum-selling artist was arrested on Oct. 13, just blocks away from the BET Hip-Hop Awards show in Atlanta where he was scheduled to perform later that day.

T.I., who initially pleaded not guilty, originally faced a maximum of 10 years in prison and an additional $250,000 fine for each count.

Dump people with money always have to find a way to ruin it if its not drugs its guns. A lot of kids out there see them as role models and now not only did they let them down but wore they might even go and do the same thing.

"dump people with money always have to find a way to ruin it if its not drugs its guns.

" yeah you right, but you act as if the man was buying them to impress you or some kids. That man wasnt doing that for status, he must have felt that he needed them. I mean he cant go into a store and legally get them. F*ck, hes a convicted fellon trying to protect himself. F*ck im just glad to see him take his own lick instead of trying to put that sh*t off on some other n*gga.

Brebre your sh*t made sence what so ever. Go back to third grade. "he dont wanna bodyguard" his bodyguard is the reason his ass got caught in the first place. Everybody should be able to carry a gun you say? well yea if u want 90 percent of the world to be wiped out its bad enough we got a quarter the gun crimes we got now. People need to man up quit using weapons for violence what happend to the days u didnt like someone u actually knuckled up and faught like your supposed to, not even say thats the answer but dont nobody need a gun. Learn to fight and be a man instead of getting in to an altercation and taking out the strap and shooting somebody.

T.i. My dude but money was a straight dumbass for dis one. If you're a two-time convicted felon for illegal gun possession you can't put urself in a positon to get arrested again by copping unregistered gats. I mean cuz, the bangers are military caliber semi-automatic weapons. What da feezy is up wit dat son? cats and runnin up on him everyday trying to blast him. That's what bodyguards are for. Let them pop a fool who wanna try to flex, cause nothing good can come out of that situation. That's totally unaccepteable and there ain't no excuse for that, whether you an ex thug in da trap or not. Once you become a superstar rapper you gotta realize one-time is watching your every move intently and just waiting for the opportunity to pop you for the smallest violation. You ain't just representing yourself, you holding it down for your entire family, your record label and executives. T.i. Is a good, honorable dude, does good things for his community and i believe he's genuinely sorry for his mistake and is trying to improve as a person, but he's gotta be more cognizant and make better decisions, even if his bodyguard dimed him out, which is a lil hocake move. Life is all about choices. We're all either one choice away from prosperity or self-destruction, and unfortunately in this case t.i.'s choice was destructive. Hopefully kid doesn't get a long bid cause we all knew t.i. Was getting locked up from the tip. I pray he learns form his mistake, makes a dope successful return and is smart enough not to

If u say that t.i was stupid, for sure u don't know sh*t bout them streets and u might be on your house watching mtv and thinking that the world's beautiful.. React! a n*gga without a gun is a dead ni gg! u can't go all karate kid with them ni ggas when they have guns and you have sh*t.. And a ni gga is what a ni gga is, you can't go out there after you made it and pretend that u are not from the hood.. Cuz if u do so u a fake n*gga and i think "ya'll know what it is" a fake ni gga in the hood.. So if u're an ignorant in a subject, u better say sh*t about it.

I dont think t i is a snitch money talks.
Posted by Boochie
Why would t.i. Be a snitch for ratting on the people who killed his homie? so to all you who are calling him a snitch...what should t.i. Have done then? let the killers get off and go free so that t.i. Can handle the sh*t in his own way, and then catch a murder case on his record and get sent to life imprisonment or the death penalty?? you n*ggas are dumb as hell and don't know the meaning of a "snitch" a snitch is a person who cooperates with law enforcement against his own friends...and to "9 mill" 'F*ck outta here with your theories n*gga, i would rather see the killers get punished the proper way then catch a case for myself tryna take matters in my own hands
