Stupid is as stupid does and rapper/ actor T.I., also known as Tip, whose government name is Clifford Harris is a perfect example of that saying. This past Friday T.I. was sentenced by a Federal judge to go back to jail for 11 months for violating the terms of his release on a gun possession conviction. This after he and his (cough) wife were stopped by police in Los Angeles and found to have drugs in his possession a few weeks ago.
Tip is lucky I wasn't the judge. I would have just sent him to prison for life and saved law enforcement, the judicial system and the penal system a lot of time and paperwork. That's because this will not be his last time in lock-up.
When he's released, at some point, he'll find another reason to be sent back to jail. I suppose some people just like jail. Maybe it's the food? Or maybe they like the company? Or the prison attire?
All I know is I've never been to prison. It hasn't really been hard not going to prison. In fact I've never even had to conscientiously say to myself that I'm going to stay out of prison. I've just sort of naturally stayed out.
So when a person goes in and out of jail I have to assume that they've made a conscience decision to be an inmate. And if people like T.I. or Lil' Wayne or Lindsey Lohan really want to be locked up then we as a society have a duty to lock their stupid asses up! And not just for a few days or months either.
Anyway, like I said Tip is an idiot.
