"COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- A couple fighting about which gang their 4-year-old toddler should join caused a public disturbance that resulted in the father's arrest, Commerce City police said Thursday. On Saturday, Joseph Manzanares stormed into the Hollywood Video store where his girlfriend worked, threatened to kill her and knocked over several video displays and even a computer, Commerce City police Sgt. Joe Sandoval said. After he ran out of the store, police were called and the 19-year-old was arrested at his home. His girlfriend told police that they had been arguing about the upbringing of their son and which gang he should belong to. The teen mother, who is black, is a member of the Crips. Manzanares is Hispanic and belongs to the Westside Ballers gang, the woman said. "They have different ideas on how the baby should be raised. Basically, she said they cannot agree on which gang the baby would 'claim,'" Sandoval said. Manzanares was charged with disorderly conduct, harassment, and domestic violence. He was transported to the Adams County Detention Facility. On Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to a year of probation. The misdemeanor harassment charge was dropped."

Seriously.

let the kid decide.

This is an aside, but once a kid is three or so, I'm pretty sure that they're no longer considered a toddler.

[Edited on April 12, 2008 at 12:46 PM. Reason : Wikipedia concurs, they say up to 36 months is a toddler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toddler]

im sure that with those parents, the kid is probably not as far along as s/he should be

so the description is accurate

4/12/2008 1:06:29 PM

I don't know, don't the Crips have a national presence? They could probably hook up a letter of recommendation when its time to start applying to schools

4/12/2008 1:08:21 PM

I don't know.....The Westside Ballers Gang has a nice ring to it....

4/12/2008 4:02:38 PM

westside ballers? are you fucking serious?

what's more played out than "westsiiiiiiiiiiiiiide" and attaching "ballers" to anything

fucking lame. the kid would choose the crips, no doubt.

4/12/2008 4:12:02 PM

reading shit like this furthers my support that some people in our society should be sterilized and not allowed to have kids.

Awesome a future gang banger that may mug one of my kids in 20 years.

4/12/2008 4:44:26 PM

people have the right to live as they choose.

4/12/2008 4:45:25 PM

this is why we have abortion people. We don't need anymore gang members...just deport the mexican and send the bitch back to the projects.

4/12/2008 4:53:23 PM

4/12/2008 5:11:37 PM

he's 'hispanic', in a gang, has a kid at 19.

4/12/2008 5:12:42 PM

are you saying that those factors could prevent him from being a life long american?

born and bred?

4/12/2008 5:15:21 PM

I say either the kid should be sacrificed, or both parents should be crucified, and the kid given to a good family to raise.

I think gangs should all rent out a conference room at a hotel downtown and have a job fair for prospective applicants.

"yo cuz, have you thought about the crips. we have many entry level positions available in the wannabe level. we offer competitive pay in that you can keep 15% of the drug money you sell or the cash you rob. we also have full medical and dental. we are looking into a 401K program as well. also, when the inevitable day comes and you get smoked, we have burial benefits complete with a pouring beer on the curb ceremony. we require no high school education, although prior prison experience is a plus."

"yeah man, yall sound ah-ight, but i was leaning towards the bloods, why should i bang with you guys instead"

"well young cuz, you will find life as a crip to be a rewarding experience because you are joining an organization that has stood the test of time and is unwavering in our principles....except for the all too often set tripping of course."

"word, i think i am gonna bang with yall"

"you made a great choice, all i need is for you to fill out our application and submit a resume of past criminal experience as well as any prisons you may have attended"
