Mmm hmm. And the dogs on Michael Vick's property didn't belong to him either. If he guns in TI's house belonged to his security team, why were they found in closets and cabinets? So if somebody decided to break into the house and go after TI, I guess his security team had to run to the cabinets and get their guns out in order to protect him. And, by the way, who did the loaded gun in TI's car belong to? Like I said, Mmm Hmm. If a brotha wasn't always doing dumb s-hit, then they wouldn't always be trying to "catch a brotha up." |

Now the lying starts. HAHA. This is not a black thing people so don't start hollaring that crap. The man got caught and he will pay. The Feds are very smart. They could care less about T.I. the rapper or the person. He had unlawful firearms and got caught. end of story. |

Am I the only one that sees the correlation of all these rappers getting arrested and the "down low rapper" theory. It makes so much sense now!!! Most of these "rappers" are gay hence the disrespect towards women, and the love affair with prison. Prison=sausage factory. I guess this way the secret is out but not really out at the same time. Oh My!!!! |

Unless he is off of probation, he can't live in the house with any firearms. That's against the law, set-up or no set-up. I know that he had a federal charge against him before for having crack on him. So that might be what they are holding him for. That's a bunch of mess. All I gotta say is snitches get stitches. That bodyguard better hope he gets in witness protection, especially if he is lying. Nobody won't have nothing to do with him. This just shows that you should watch who you keep in your inner-circle. Stay up TI.... |

Even though I do some dumb s-hit sometimes, I agree with you Kimkelmor. His explanation does not fly, but he is innocent until proven guilty. However, as a convicted felon, he DOES NOT suppose to have guns in his possession and if they are in his house- the law assumes it belongs to the owner of the house, until proven otherwise |

I don't know if you really spoke to anyone close to TI, but according to news reports the Feds got his ass good. They recorded conversations between TI and the body guard where TI asks him to meet him to get the guns. As for other people owning the guns in TI's house, they were found in HIS bedroom and three more were found in his car when he was arrested. One of the ones in the car was inbetween the driver's seat and the armrest and TI was driving. Forget about fake damage conrol. Dude got busted red handed and he is going down. |

Are half of the people that post of the website underage or something? This is defintely not a racial thing. Maybe, just maybe there is a hip hop police that profile rappers but if they weren't doing anything wrong why should it matter? When If I was pulled over as a black women driving a nice car I could care less because I have nothing to hide. I use to think that racial profiling was wrong and it still is in a sense but have you guys ever thought about that everyone is racially profiled. When there is a serial killer sought out they usually start looking at white middle aged guys, when there is a suicide bombing, they usually look for middle eastern looking men. When there is a big cocaine investigation contrary to your beliefs they usually are observing mexicans, crack deal they usually observe african americans. thats just the way it is. Yes there are other races that engage of all of these crimes but the majority of arrest in each crime are the ethnic groups I names. Don't believe me then you do the research. Yes racism is strong and heavy in America but as I have said before We as black people need to start supporting our own and realizing that we can be more than entertainers for a white industry. Stop destroying ur own communities and supporting those who contribute to the downfall of your community. If TI is in fact guilty he has no one to blame but himself and should take responsibility as a man. If he was set up it is still his fault becaues you can't be set up if you are doing nothing wrong and that explanation is what I expected so it sounds like a lie but he is innocent until proven guilty so we will see how it plays out. |

That's true. And it's also true that defense lawyers, defense witnesses and experts for the defense lie also, so it goes both ways. I work for a defense firm, so I see it every single day. I doubt there will be a trial. Most people with fed charges plead out in an attempt to avoid having all that evidence against them come out in the open. It only makes them look worse in the end. |

People are not going to take the rap for you when you sitting pretty. That's just human nature.People tell on people every day. Not because they want to but because they got caught.T.I. has money and has a better chance of getting off than a poor body gaurd with no resources.The Feds did'nt lie on T.I. He put hisself in that position.Now he will calm his ass down and stop beleiving his own hype.Check your ego at the door T.I. |

Who really protects the rappers in their security detail especially when most of them are "Convicted Felons." Don't get me wrong on MTO, Paris Hilton, Martha Stewart and even Keifer Sutherland are all convicted felons. Go to my site www.impairedstars.com and see the list. Paris was here all week in Toronto and Rappers can't cross the border from Detroit.NONE of these celebrity felons MUST OWN a GUN! I NEED AN ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER IN ATLANTA TO INTERVIEW. ANYBODY KNOW A GOOD ONE PLS EMAIL ME AT mediakemi@rogers.com or call me this afternoon at 647-3445390 (it's like calling New York from New Jersey. CHEAP!

I'm convinced that some of you people on here think there is nothing that a black man can do wrong ever, even when you know he's dead wrong. I'm sure that every problem you have in your lives are the fault of some white person. If you trip and fall face first on the sidewalk, it's probably because DA MAN put a crack in the sidewalk, causing you to fall. If your black girlfriend or boyfriend gives you an STD, it's because DA MAN created STDs, not because your significant other went out and f-ucked around on you raw. If it's raining in your neighborhood, it's becauase DA MAN threw a thunder cloud up in the sky on your street. BLACK PEOPLE DO S-HIT WRONG AND CAN BE LEGITIMATELY GUILTY OF THE S-HIT THEY DO WRONG. |

I was thinking the same thing! I know die hard TI fans just don't want to beleive that he is this damn stupid. Everybdy is saying, "Whats wrong with having guns to protect yourself?" There is nothing wrong with protecting yourself...but MACHINE GUNS IS A NO NO!!! They use machine guns in wars to kill multiple people with one pull of the trigger! The the fact is that he had MANY machine guns. Just think what would have happened if his child found it! TI is just a dumb fool with too much time and money on his hands. Plus he is a convicted felon who is not allowed to have firearms. I know ya'll don't wanna believe it but ya boy going down. He need Jhonny Cochran to get out this mess like OJ got out of his!

T.I HAD A LOADED GUN AND 3 OTHER GUNS IN HIS CAR WTF HE IS STUPID...
The charges against T.I. may in fact grow, as during a search of the vehicle he was allegedly driving at the time of his arrest three additional guns were discovered one loaded firearm was allegedly tucked between the drivers seat where T.I. had been sitting and the center console. Three additional unnamed people who were in T.I.s vehicle were arrested, but one was released.
Shortly after his arrest a federal search warrant was executed on Harris home in College Park. While conducting the search of T.I.s home agents allegedly discovered three rifles, two pistols and a revolver in a walk-in closet in Harris bedroom. Five of the six guns were loaded.
A total of 12 guns (and two silencers) were recovered during the arrest and subsequent searches.
Per the allegations laid out by the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, David E. Nahmias, the circumstances that led to T.I.s arrest unfolded in a rather unusual way. On October 2nd an employee of a federal firearms licensee advised ATF that someone was attempting to buy a machine gun without registering the weapon, which is required by law. The person trying to make the purchase was then directed to an undercover ATF agent who was posing as a machine gun dealer.
This past Wednesday (October 10th) the buyer was finally arrested by ATF after purchasing 3 unregistered machine guns and 2 silencers from the undercover agent in exchange for $2,200 and a pistol.
After his arrest the buyer agreed to become a cooperating witness (CW) for the government following his revelation to arresting agents that he was purchasing the machine guns for his boss, Clifford Harris, who as a convicted felon is legally not permitted to own a firearm. The CW had been working as a bodyguard for T.I. for the past three months. As of now, T.I.s attorney cant reveal the bodyguards name. All of that will probably be made public throughout the course of the proceedings, he explains.
Given that his employment with T.I. just began in July, there are several skeptics already surfacing who wonder aloud if T.I.s bodyguard was working with the government all along to help establish these charges. Ill leave those types of theories to others, says Thomas. We will deal with facts and law in court that are relevant and admissible. Im sure there will be lots of rumors or gossip, lots of insinuations. But those are the kinds of things that lawyers should not deal with. Continued on page 2 »

I appreciate some of you expressing your opinions and logic to this situation.
But if its one thing that makes everyone else sound so STUPID, is the fact that none of you CAN JUDGE that man. None of you are GOD!!!!
We don't have to second guess, because only God knows what it to come out of this.
HOW CAN ANYONE BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO HIM? DO YOU NOT HAVE A LIFE WITH MISTAKES? ARE YOU
PERFECT? BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE KIDS, FAMILY OR FOR YOURSELF FOR THAT MATTER, AND A MESSED UP SITUATION INVOLVING THE LAW HAPPENS TO YOU!!!
AND FOR ALL THOSE CRYING FAG! YOU PROBABLY THE ONE IN THE CLOSET, CANT WAIT TO GET OUT AND THATS WHY YOU THINKING ABOUT IN THE 1ST PLACE...
HES IN A FEDERAL FACILITY, NOT A COUNTY JAIL!!!!
DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? MONEY TALKS...AND YEAH, I HOPE HES ORDERING LOBSTER AND SHRIMP UP IN THERE.. NONE OF THAT SNICKERS CANDY AND SOUP THEY GOT IN JAIL!
BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY!
PEACE AND LOVE

They arrested him Tiny Dro and some other rapper 1 hour before he was to perform at the awards. That $hit suspect right there. They say one was let go, and I'm assuming Tiny. Don't know though. They got pics of Tiny n Dro n cuffs .... how da hell? This seems well orchestrated... in an ODD way. |

Why are feds making such a big issue outta this? T.I. was only trying to keep up with that high school kid in PA. Everyone knows rappers always try to out do the next man. The kid in PA had like 10 assault weapons so T.I. went to a few machine guns. |

NORRISTOWN, Pa. - The mother of a 14-year-old who authorities say had a cache of guns, knives and explosive devices in his bedroom for a possible school attack was charged Friday with buying her son three weapons.
Michele Cossey bought her home-schooled son, Dillon, a .22-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle and a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle, authorities said. The teenager felt bullied and tried to recruit another boy for the possible attack at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School in suburban Philadelphia, authorities said.
Police officials told NBC News that the boy had confessed to plotting the attack.
Acting on a tip from a high school student and his father, police on Wednesday found the rifle, about 30 air-powered guns, swords, knives, a bomb-making book, videos of the 1999 Columbine attack in Colorado and violence-filled notebooks in the boyfs bedroom, Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor Jr. said.
Story continues below «
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cossey, 46, of Plymouth Meeting, bought the rifle, which had a laser scope, at a gun show on Sept. 23 and provided police with a receipt, investigators said in court papers. The teenager said the two .22-caliber weapons were stored at a friendfs house.
Father a felon
The boyfs father also tried to buy his son a rifle in 2005, but was not allowed to because he was a felon, police said.
The teen had a brief court appearance Friday at which the county public defenderfs office and prosecutors agreed to continue holding him while they do psychiatric evaluations.
The boy was led out of the courtroom in shackles and he didnft comment.
His mother was charged with unlawful transfer of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a minor, corruption of a minor, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of reckless endangerment. She was not accused of helping the teen plot an attack, gbut by virtue of her indulgence, she enabled him to get in this position,h Castor said.
The teenfs father, Frank Cossey, was sentenced to house arrest for lying about his criminal record when he went to buy a .22-caliber rifle for his son in December 2005, police said Friday. On his application he said he had never been convicted of a felony, but he had pleaded guilty in 1981 to manslaughter in a drunken driving death in Oklahoma and sent to prison, police said.
No sign of imminent attack
Castor has said he does not believe an attack was imminent or would occur at all. He said Friday that the teen had a gdisturbed mind.h
gThis was a smart kid that clearly believes he was picked on and was a victim,h Castor said. gHe had psychological issues and began to act out on those feelings.h
On Thursday, Castor said he felt police were instrumental gin stopping a potential Columbine-like shooting.h
MSNBC video
Mom charged
Oct. 12: MSNBC's Clint Van Zandt talks about the charges against Michele Cossey.

Police, who searched the home with the permission of the teenfs parents, also discovered seven explosive devices Castor has described as homemade grenades: plastic containers filled with pellets to which gunpowder could be added. Authorities said one grenade was operable and the others had been in the process of being assembled.
The search did not turn up any ammunition for the most dangerous firearm in the bunch, the assault rifle.
Police also found a DVD titled gGame Over in Littleton,h about the attack at Columbine, and three books: gThe Anarchist Cookbook,h a 1971 book outlining how to manufacture explosives; an Army counterinsurgency operations manual; and gHitlerfs Second Book: The Unpublished Sequel to Mein Kampf.h
In April 1999, two disaffected teenage boys killed 12 fellow students and a teacher and wounded 24 other people at Columbine High School near Littleton, Colo

I'm sick and tired of dumb asses like TI and Mike Vick reinforcing the negative stereotypes that hold true for the majority of black people. One hundred years from now the black man may well be extinct if he continues on this path. Rap is musical genocide that brainwashes our youth left unchecked. Check yourself and yours. |

Did you read the pdf found on this link?? WTF was he trying to do build his own army and go to war. those where his guns with the specificaions of the safe its some hi-tech shytt something he can have in the house around the kids. He just put himself in a crazy situation. he knew he was a felon and should not have guns...and sorry if it is in his vehicle and it is registered to him (the vehicle) regardless of who it really belongs to it is considered his unless the other party claims it, and the same thing goes for the stuff in the home. |

oops thought i pasted it from above but i read it and it is very detailed. and from the looks of it he's going and a handgun possesion for a convicted felon is an automatic 5 years and they may make him spend whatever time he has left on papers plus the remainder of the time he was serving before. remember celebrity status does not matter when you are black i.e. lil kim, foxy brown, mystical, project pat, shyne, slick rick, one of the members of bone thugs and harmony ( i know i'm taking it way back on a few people) and i am sure there are plenty others whom are not let out after 86 minutes because they are pregnant (nichole), or allowed to go home after 2 days because they have panic attacks (paris), or be put on hose arrest and bake cookies and shyt in their own cell (martha stewart).

I am upset that Wyclef made a song with this felon, then made the sweetest gurl with Weezy. He should of made a song for these no good [EXPLETIVE], because it seems to me the women are doing MUCH better than the men these days. T.I. and Weezy are both facing charges. I heard that T.I. does [EXPLETIVE] for the community, and I applaud that. However, that does not give him a pass to act a fool. We are in a bad state right now and children need better role models to look up to. |

Oprah was not the first to start hatin' on rappers -
RAPPERS were the first to start hatin' on Rappers.
What do I mean - the beef with each other, and then go by and shoot each other. Talk about each other on their albums.
The east cost vs west coast rivalry --was not OPRAH tryin to shoot ---- Biggie and Tupac.
THAT WAS THE RAPPERS TRYIN to kill each other.
the tongue is a powerful tool....
what you speak about and focus on comes to be.
Keepin' it real: is just that - the more you speak about and think about - GHETTO life - Killin and "smokin" folks - that is what will continue to show up in your life.......
The law of attraction applies to us all. Rappers are no different.
If you put out a negative vibe of death and destruction: THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL GET BACK IN YOUR LIFE!

BLACK FOLKS
BLACK ON BLACK CRIME - I'm sick of it.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH BLACK MEN and this killin' each other.
T.I. did not get set up.....
T.I. Set his self up - by being a fool.
This thing with the Feds is NOT a new game.
Ask any older - black man or woman who has been on the planet at least 40 years.
THIS IS NOT A NEW GAME... YOU JUST THINK - things have changed. It hasn't.
AND SINCE WE KNOW THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS NOT FAIR ---why do we complain when we get caught up in it.
This is no damn surprise!
Tryin' to buy a MACHINE GUN in itself is stupid.
He wasn't going hunting - he was going to use it on OTHER BLAACK PEOPLE.
How many innocent people would be around when he and his "security" opened fire. How many BLACK FOLKS would have to DIE over his dumb [EXPLETIVE]?
I am not a hater - I am a realist ----
I do not feel sorry for him.
I AM GLAD the FEDS caught him, before - another BLACK MAN OR WOMAN died - becuase of his stupid Gangsta Ass!
What a stupid Motha F'er, alll the money in the world - and he is tryin' to be a GANGSTA.
Folks tryin' to make it out of the 'hood, not bring the hood with you --- when you get out.
STUPID - GHETTO MENTALITY HAVING NEGRO.

I hope for his sake and his career this ain't true |

I usually agree with most of what you have to say. But I have to disagree with the Oprah comment. She's a positive black woman and she has done so much not only here but in Africa. She has opened up an all girls school there. Some of her opinions about rap music are valid, rap music over the years has gone in a different direction. And not for the best. |

Look, T.I. is a grown ass man who makes his own decisions. He got caught... perior. There's no set-up here. He was wrong, now he gotta pay the price.
He should have been smart and got to a better place in his life after he stacked his chips, but he had to stay "hood" and "keep it real" Well, here's an instance where keeping it real goes wrong.
I don't wish any bad things on these young black men, but they need to quit making exuses and crying when their lifestyle catches up with them. We need to make better decisions black people.
And quit blaming these white people for all our problems, we do a good enough job holding ourselves down, they don't even have to lift a finger anymore. |
