We all know about T.I's Road To Redemption. He has even made a T.V. show out of this. He wants to teach young kids that going to jail is not the answer. By him being found guilty of his wrong doing, do you think that he is sending the wrong messsage to society. I mean, if you are a rapper, singer or a dancer, shouldn't you try to practice what you preach beforehand? If you choose to live the lifestyle that you are living, shouldn't you be concerned about whom is watching you. Because what you do good or bad can have an effect on someone else, especially the young adults in this world. I think that all celebrities, should try to impact a positive outlook for themselves. Others look at them as role models and they admire them. I believe that T.I. knows what he has done wrong, but I feel that this could have been avoided. I really do hate to see T.I. go to jail. But with the law system, if you do the crime, you gotta do the time.

With regards to what he did, is no more the question. Because judgement has been passed already. What i want to point out is that T.I. has realized his mistake and he is doing everything possible not to repeat it again and he is tring to keep others from making such a mistake. T.I. really deserves a second chance. I would give T.I two thumbs up and tell him to have faith, time flys fast, he'll be out in no time.

Hi cream dear! I do believe that all celebrities have social and moral responsibility. They should be aware of what they are doing and be conscious that so many young people admire and emulate them. I just hope that with T.I.'s going to jail, a lot of young people will learn from his mistake and will not see this as a "cool" thing to happen to anyone.
Take care and blessings to you!

Hey cream! I agree the TI is trying to do the right thing by
showing kids that doing the wrong thing is not the way to go.
He is trying to impress upon them that if you do the wrong
thing, as he did you will be punished. I think that he is
really trying to redeem himself. Of course it would have been
better if he hadn't gotten himself into trouble in the first
place, but since he did and kids look up to him then maybe
they will listen to what he is saying and do the right thing
instead of doing what he did! At least he is trying to make
amends in some way! I respect him for trying at least.

I don't think what TI did was a crime he was excercising his rights to bear arms, due to the inicident in Cincinnatti due to his friend was murdered, he was concerned for his safety. However, Mr. Harris knows he is a convicted felon, should have hired professional security to protect him in the best way they seem fit, lethal force or not.
