Parents Brawl over Which Gang Their Toddler Should Join
Parents quibble over many a decision regarding their children: what to name them, whether or not they should be baptized and, most importantly, whether they should be a Crip or a Blood.
This doesn’t sound familiar to you? Well the rest of this story is really going to throw you for a loop. You see, this tale takes place in something called a “video store”. No, I don’t know those are either, or what a “video” is for that matter, but let’s just roll with it. At a Hollywood “video store” in Colorado one Joseph Manzanares attacked the female employee behind the counter. As it turns out, this was no mere altercation over late fees for a copy of Free Willy. In fact, the female employee was Manzanares teen girlfriend and mother of the couple’s young child. The throw down came about when a disagreement about their child’s gang affiliation arose. Manzanares is a “West Side Ballers” whereas as his girlfriend is connected to the Colorado chapter of the Crips. The thought of his child raised as a Crips instead of a Baller upset Manzanares so that he threatened the woman’s (not clear if she’s old enough to officially be a woman) and generally tore the Hollywood video a new a-hole, rips down displays and shelves.
When police arrived on the scene, the girlfriend explained the gang-related nature of the fight, because that totally makes sense. Police charged the young man with disorderly conduct, harassment, and domestic violence.
Wait, they have gangs in Colorado? Forget it.

I was just up in that Hollywood Video bitch trying to rent a copy of Malibu’s Most Wanted (Jamie Kennedy is a loaded wangsta). I don’t even think that baby is mine, but we gotta wait till November when we going on Maury to find that shit out. Just get your shit strait, foo. I didn’t tear that shit up because of that damn ho. I have degenerative muscle spasm disease, so back that shit up. Do you research son.
