During a recent interview with Power 98 FM in Charlotte, North Carolina, T.I. was asked about Zimmerman’s acquittal and his response was honest and blunt.
Tip states:
?Man, it was some bullshit?My hat goes off to the Martin family, because if it was me and my child, it wouldn?t have been no trial,? said T.I., according to Radio.com.
?I?d have been on trial. It would?ve been the trial of the father who killed the man who killed [his child]. That would have been my story. My hat goes off because they [the Martin family] are much more clear and level-headed thinkers than I. I definitely think something needs to be done, but it?s just another harsh reminder of the world that we live in.? (source)
