I hate when niggas try to speak on shit that they obviously know nothing about, the legal system has rules but the law never follows its own rules. Mandatory sentences are only mandatory if the judge chooses to go by that, the guns he was buying were not banned guns, the silencers were banned and he wasnt suppose to have no guns since he's a convicted felon, but dont just focus on T.I. and if he snitched, what about 50 snitch record?
He get caught up in the streets, gets
-possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine
-fleeing and alluding
-concealed weapons
and all he got was 6 months in boot camp, but the niggas that he sold crack for and with went to prison, did somebody snitch then? If he really a convicted felon how is it that he has weapons and has never had charges brought on him for it? There is something called a "Zero Tolerance Gun Policy" which states that convicted felons are not suppose to possess, be with someone in possession or in a house or vehicle that possesses a gun with or without the felons knowledge or there is a minimun 5 year prison vacation coming.
T.I. may only be doing a year in prison but he doing 1500 hours of comimunity service and he gotta go around speaking to the kids in different communities about guns and drugs. They let that nigga off light cause they found a way to fuck up his money. 1000 of that 1500 have to be completeled by March of '09 which means that he cant do no tours and he barely have time to anything else to make money. They taking away what they feel means most to him which is his constant income. It aint stoppin, but its gon slow down dramatically.
And he couldnt have snitched cause they made the deal too quick, if he told on somebody he woulda been locked up until they were able to prove that what he said was true or not, you cant just tell the FEDS some shit and think they gon take your word for it.
You cats dont realize the Feds aint shit like the police or the sheriff, they dont give a fuck about no arrest rate or none of that shit, they about that bread and thats what they did with him, worked out a deal to slow his money and make them some. What is 50's excuse cuz his shit wasnt Fed, he aint have no huge money and he was out in six months free of his felony record?
