An argument between two parents over what street gang their 4-year-old son should join resulted in one parent threatening to kill the other, Commerce City police said.

Joseph Manzanares was sentenced to 12 months of probation Tuesday after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct in an incident Saturday, when he went to Hollywood Video, 5961 E. 64th Ave., where his ex-girlfriend and the mother of the boy works.

Manzanares, 19, began knocking over several displays in the video store and threatening the victim, including saying he was going to "kill" her, said Commerce City Sgt. Joe Sandoval. Manzanares was arrested a short time later. The victim said she is a member of one gang and Manzanares is a member of another, and "they have different ideas on how the baby should be raised," Sandoval said.

"Basically she said they cannot agree on which gang the baby would 'claim,' " Sandoval said.

Simple solution to a complicated problem.

3 bullets.

New age "West Side Story".

Put the kid in a foster home; shoot the parents.

Otherwise the 3 bullet rule works too.

I would agree except I would suggest 2 bullets. The 4 year old is still salvageable if raised by decent people. The state should give him to a responsible couple that can't have kids but wants them.

My G/F and I don't have this problem, we're members of the same gang.
