And You Thought Picking a Preschool Was Hard
April 11th, 2008In the latest bid for Parent of the Year, a 19-year-old man stormed into his girlfriend’s workplace and began violently threatening her in an argument about how their young son would be raised. It seems that our heroes have strong opinions about which gang their son should claim as his own.
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.
I’m still not sold on mandatory sterilization for morons for practical reasons, but we’re getting there.

Clearly, they just need to learn to compromise. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and every other Saturday, he can rob stores for the Westside Ballers. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays, and every other Saturday, he can steal cars and sell crack for the Crips. It’s genius.
