T.I. = Idiot

[Maddog5150]

I think you'll find that's an oxymoron.

Hmmm... as much as I dont like rap that much I have defend it from that qoute. Insinuating that it doesnt take talent means that just anyone can do it. Lets see you bust out a ryme like T.I. does.
Someone once told me that having a talent in marksmanship isnt a talent. I invited them to the range to prove that anyone can shoot tight group. Guy never took me up on it

"Arsenal" of weapons... so how many discovered "arsenal of weapons" has it been these last 2 weeks?

He was actually our performing artist last year at college. Half of us walked out of the audience the minute his song ended with SFX of a shotgun being racked

I think California states that after 10 weapons, it's an arsenal and you have to let them know you have them. . . I forgot where i read that (I saw the PC, not just from some "post") but still...

How much money does he have? That will determine his punishment.

I think that is something that is proposed, not currently existing.

Just adds to his street credibility. All this free publicity.

He's going to get a few months, tops.

I seriously doubt he will get a few months, if you look at the article, He scored bigtime, Federal Charges, not state! Federal Prosecutors dont care about if you are a big time star or not, look at Martha Stewart, her *** got prison time and hers was a white collar crime!

I wish there were pictures of the guns. I saw the movie ATL on HBO it wasn't that bad. I think since he's a icon of the youth that they will give him a strict punishent as an example for the youth and felons. I wonder what the outcome will be. I think he's in the new movie american gangster?

When the press is concerned, it's "after 2 weapons, and after 20 rounds of ammo" to be considered an arsenal.

I'd be interested to see that PC section. . .

I found this on his arrest affidavit:

At approximately,4:40p.m., the CW arrived and met with the U/C to observe the firearms which were actual machine guns. The CW had a further discussion about the firearms firing "fully" automatic. The CW agreed to exchange $2200 and a Bushmaster, Model C-15, .223 caliber pistol, s/n D10867 for the following firearms: an Ingram,Model M-10, 9mm caliber machine gun, s/n 2-3005561, SWD Inc., 9mm silencer, s/n N767 , a Military Armament Corp., 9mm silencer,s/n 2-2001231 , SWD Inc., Model M-l l, 9mm caliber machine gun, s/n 86-0008212, and a H&K, Model SP89,9mm caliber machine gun, s/n 2l-l74lL.




5. During the meeting between the U/C and the CW, the CW questioned the U/C if he (the CW) would get into trouble if law enforcement caught him in possession of the machine guns. The U/C told the CW that the firearms were not legal to possess without the proper paperwork because they had to be registered. The U/C further told the CW there would be a problem if he were caught with them. The U/C told the CW that the aforementioned firearms did not have the required legal paperwork.

Tough room, I shoulda' used some more smilies. He ain't no Doctor Octagon though.

[kevykev707]

I take it "T.I." means "Total Idiot".

[Stormfeather]

Ya know what sucks about this entire thing. . .

. . . . is all of those sweet guns are going to more than likely be destroyed now. . . A hk sp89. . .that totally sucks. . .

Hmm, you notice classical musicians never get caught up in this?

(Not that rap is music!)

[Maddog5150]

I dunno. I can totally see beethoven getting caught with a pound of weed, high and a mac-10 in the back seat.

Remember, there was a time that the following phrases were accepted wisdom:

"Jazz is not music"
"Blues is not music"
"Rhythm & Blues is not music"
"Soul is not music"
"Rock & Roll is not music"

Back to TI... I'm interested to see how/if he skates on this one. I actually kinda feel sorry for the guy.

His hobby is a problematic one. He should have stayed away from the silencers and the full-autos.
