		<description>Sandra, arent you the same one who persecuted one of the Jena 6 kids when he was in a second fight??? But yet, TI gets praise for the same thing? U called a child a thug, but TI is a man? He knew he wasnt supposed to have guns in his possession EVER, thats why he was buyin them illegally. Whether he was set up or not, he knew better. He has the resources to find other ways to protect himself &#38; his family, he should've used them</description>

		<description>True that! I'm not on here to bash T.I. because I'm a T.I. fan, but he is not a role model!  I'm glad that some of the Atlanta schools did not allow him to speak to their students.  The reason I feel this way is because he is speaking out about his situation because that is apart of his probation.  I feel that he won't make the same mistake in the future, but I do feel that it is not fair that he only has to do 1 year.  My auntie's husband was in a similar situation because he was a convicted felon and was caught in the car with his friend who was carrying a hanggun and guess what? the judge sentenced my auntie's husband to finish out his parole term in jail which was 9 years and he is eligible for parole in 7.  His friend didn't even get no time and he was the one carrying the gun because it was his 1st offense.  He only was charged with a misdemeanor.  So NO I feel no sympathy for T.I. and he gets no respect from me until he earns it back thru his consistent positive actions.  I know I'm NOBODY to T.I. but I speaking the truth.  I'm not going to come post on this board frontin' like T.I. is this CHANGED MAN when he hasn't done anything special to make me feel that way.  Maybe in some years he can be mentor to the youth, but a role model?  I dont think so!  The whole T.I. situation is a mess and the judge set a bad example by sentencing T.I. to only serve 1 silly year in prison.  The judge has shown all of us that these paid celebrities are above the law in every sense.  It is extremely pitiful and the judge had this perfect opportunity to make an example out of T.I. by giving him a reasonable amount of time in prison so that the next celebrity wont feel they can break the law and get away with it.  To me a year in jail is not even a slap on the wrist, to me T.I. sentence in compare to when you put your hand in the air to smack someone on the wrist but your cell phone rangs and you forgot to finish the slap on the wrist because u answered your phone. T.I. deserved more then an attempted slapped on the wrist, he needed to be kneed in his groin to really feel the pain.lol..  That is how I see it.  TRUST ME when I tell you that T.I. will be out in about 6-8 months on some good behavior B/S.  i do love T.I.'s music thoe.  I can't lie about that because he is one of my favorite rappers.</description>

		<description>@ Lucy...sure you right. Ray-Ray down the street woulda been locked-up for about 10-20 years....

T.I. has the money and the celebrity to change his situation...thats the way it is. However, if he doesn't get his shyt together he won't be getting too many chances. I honestly think this will be his last serious run in with the law...the reason I say that is b.cuz he is finally understanding that is not the way to live and its not all about Tip anymore! He has family, friends, and colleagues that depend on him.

I'm not trying to say he wasn't wrong for what he did but, sometimes what makes sense to you doesn't neccessarily make sense to others. If you were reared in a certain environment and all you knew was that growing up...then it may take some serious life lessons before you finally realize damn this is not the way to live at all. 

If all you know is wildin out and all you're friends are praising you for doing crazy shyt and being a "g" then why would you stop? Yes, he has been to jail before but it wasn't under these circumstances...and he needed a reality check. God just woke his azz up...and made him realize he blessed he truly is.

I really hope his does better...and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. He is still young...I think people forget that he is only 27. He has a long-way to go and I'm going to pray for him!</description>

		<description>@theatrkakal his actions had little to no consequences so he's not an example.  He got off plain and simple therefore no consequences paid.

I'm sorry but I'm not getting this "he has learned a lesson".  Is it not true that he has spent some time in jail before?  How can you spend any amount of time in jail (I don't care if its a DUI, robbery whatever) and not know what you can and cannot do once you have a record.  

You people are way to forgiving.  This man belongs in jail Had it been one of your relatives I bet they wouldnt have gotten off so easy.</description>

		<description>It's so good that he has changed.  I remember when BET did those dialogue shows on RAP.  I thought at the time some of his comments on that panel with Nelli were some of the most ridiculous things I had ever heard.</description>

		<description>I hope that after this last arrest that he doesn't stay a fixture in the criminal justice system.

He seems as if he learned his lesson and I hope that this was a wake up call for him.

He is very talented and his future can go further if he do things legally!!!!</description>
