Crips or Ballers?

Posted by Adrienne Martini

It's never too early to start arguing about how the baby will grow up. Public school or private? Jewish or Lutheran? But a Colorado couple was arrested for fighting about the most important issue of all.

Which gang should our 4-year old boy join?  

Mom, who is black, is a member of the Crips. Dad Joseph Manzanares, who is Hispanic, is a Westside Baller. The fight started when Manzanares stormed into his Baby Mama's workplace and threatened to kill her. Cops were called. 

Sergeant Joe Sandoval chalked it up to a disagreement about how child should  be raised. "Basically," he said, "they cannot agree on which gang the baby would 'claim,'"

Manzanares was sentenced to a year of probation. No word yet on which gang will get dibs on his son.

It is so unacceptable that this couple reproduced.

Oh man, I am so embarassed to be a Coloradoan sometimes. These people are total idiots. I would also like to point out that the dad is a 19 year old father of a 4 year old. No bueno on so many levels, homie!
