Clifford Harris, or as everyone knows him as, T.I., has been convicted for carrying three concealed, unregistered weapons in his hometown of Atlanta. He pleaded guilty to two counts of illegally possessing machine guns and silencers, and one count of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. T.I was also fined $100,000. In 24 days the rapper will be starting his year long sentence in a federal prison for the crime he committed.
Over the next year, Harris must perform at least 1,000 hours of community service, which comprises of speaking to young people at risk and promoting respect for law enforcement, and opposing violence, prohibited and irresponsible use of firearms, illegal drugs and gang activity.
“You can see from me that nobody is too rich, too famous, too cool, too good-looking or too young to make a mistake and pay a price for it," said Harris, dressed in jeans, a gray hooded sweat shirt and a blue knit hat. "More important than the mistake you make, though, is what you are able to take away from that mistake. How can you use that mistake to ensure you will never make a similar mistake again?"
He told them to work hard, stay in school and do what is necessary to get what they want in life.
As a result, T.I will hopefully be helping troubled children in the work and teaching them from his mistakes. I think that in him speaking to the youth today it will be very affective considering he has 2 number 1 hits on his latest C.D “Paper Trail”.
