I was listening to the radio today and they spoke of rapper T.I.'s arrest for federal gun charges. This sparked a debate with my friend as to whether or not they were only trying to make an example out of T.I. for other celebrities, because of his current status on the rap charts.
My conclusion? My friend is an idiot. And so are you, if you side with him. The reason he got caught might be due to his currently popularity. Carrying firearms to public events is a pretty surefire way to be caught. Religious convictions aside, you'd never catch MC Hammer carrying a firearm to an event. Why? He doesn't get invited.
But we can solve the problem to everyone's satisfaction.
Lindsay Lohan. Paris Hilton. Britney Spears. Nicole Richie. Michael Vick. L'il Wayne. T.I. DMX.
Q: What do all these people have in common?
A: They are all celebrities who are in trouble with or have been in trouble with the law. All celebrities who have been defended by fans who said it was either "Racism, Blatant Racism" or that they were a "scapegoat" or an "example to others".
To these people who are publicly defending these celebrities, I hope you understand that if you had done the same thing, you'd have gone to jail for a much longer period of time than they have/will.
To the celebrities on the list, I can only repeat the solid legal advice that was already provided by Jim Carrey, in the fantastic Liar Liar.
"Quit breaking the law, asshole."
