Police: Couple Feuds Over Toddler's Gang
19-Year-Old Arrested, Pleads Guilty To Disorderly Conduct

POSTED: 7:35 pm PDT April 10, 2008

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- A couple arguing 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, reported KMGH-TV in Denver.

On Saturday, Joseph Manzanares stormed into a video rental 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, told authorities she is a member of the Crips, police said. Manzanares is Hispanic and belongs to the Westside Ballers gang, the woman told police.

"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 12 months of probation and ordered to pay $835 in court costs, according to the Denver Post. The misdemeanor harassment charge was dropped.

OK, so we now they are members of a gang... why are they not in jail?

Geeze what we need are more adoptions and/or orphanges to raise these poor kids...

That is why I am against interracial marriages. How do they decide which gang to join? OTOH, if they have another kid, one could be with the Crips and the other with the Westside Ballers.

Edit: Never mind. Even if they were both black, they might be from different gangs. One could be from the Crips and the other from the Bloods. Perhaps we could do an "e-harmony" thing for the gang people? Introduce them to available partners WITHIN their gang? That way nobody has to fight.

Can't. You can't arrest me for being in a gang unless you can prove I did something wrong.
