| Police: Baby Mama A Crip, Father A Westside Baller Either way, I'm sure he'll grow up to be a fine asset to "the community". Much like his parents. 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. So what is this kid, like, Gang Baby Jesus. That's "Gee-zus" not "Hay-zeus". 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. Well, obviously, he has "anger management issues". Perhaps more tax dollars should be used to help resolve them... 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. Obviously, an important decision faced by all young parents. I don't know how mine worked their way through it. 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. Oh, good. That should solve everything... |

| #4 This can't be true, can it? It must be the Onion, or Snappleface, or Huffingtonpost, or Debka or CBS... |

| #3 Sounds like a *gang* of Texas Rangers needs to mozie on up to Colorado and "take care of bid-ness." Listen, I'm no fan of commie/totalitarian regimes determining how does or does not have kids (a'la China's one child policy), but Jeebus, some folks need to be sterilized. The problem is, we'll end up paying for this kid's upbringing (both financially and morally/security-wise). |

| #1 sounds like the kid will be an orphan soon, and I'm not sure that's a bad thing |
