West Side Story II
It’s like the sequel to an American Romeo and Juliet story. Rocky Mountain News:
Commerce City police were called to a disturbance Saturday at a Hollywood Video on East 64th Street, where a man reportedly was harassing his ex-girlfriend, who was working there.
The man knocked over a computer and a magazine stand and yelled obscenities at her, witnesses said.
He left the store before police arrived.
When officers questioned the woman, they learned that the two had been together for four years and were the parents of a child.
When police asked the woman why the two had separated, she said they have “different ideas about how the baby should be raised,” according to a police report.
When officer Daniel Swift asked the woman what she meant by that, she said that the two belong to different street gangs.
“They could not agree on which gang the baby would claim,” Swift said.
There’s a place for dopes. Somewhere, a place for dopes …

Obviously the solution is to let the child learn about both gangs, and make his own decision about which to join.
If he lives that long.

I’ve always said no good can come from mixed marriages (at least where street gangs are involved).
