And to top it off, some bumblefukk cop thinks a 4-year old qualifies as a "baby".
The kid is probably the smartest of the whole bunch.

Personally I would go with the Crips as they are more widely known.
But seriously I hope they take this kid and put him/her in foster care and away from that environment. The kid doesn't stand a chance and will probably just become another statistic.

That's tough because both the Crips and the Westside Ballers each have their own positives and negatives. The Crips have a more national presence, but it would seem that the child could get "lost in the shuffle" due to the amount of members in the gang. The Westside Ballers do not have that national presence, so it might be hard for the child to find respect when he is carrying out gang-duties. But it seems that there is more room for growth with the WB's.
Just a tough, tough decision. I can understand why the parents quarreled over this one.

A ground floor opportunity in the WestSide Ballas is way better than being just another Crip. I agree with jwiley. If the WBs grow into a several thousand member organization, when they show the org chart at the trial, dude will be way higher on the totem pole than if he were a Crip.
I don't know why the statists have to get involved. Let the kid decide on his own.

I agree that the choice should be the WBs. So when he goes to prison when he gets older he has the inside track to join up with the Mexican Maffia, we all know they rule the drug trade in the US prison system.

Gotta side with the Crips on this one. They seem very organized in their approach and dedicated to their gang mission. It's worked out well in Cedar Rapids. I think we've only had a couple of murders and less than a dozen assaults/rapes in the last 2 years but I'm probably biased since I am anti-immigration.
It will be a shame if this story doesn't spawn a reality tv show.

Other people are chiming in on this, too. The following was taken from another message board:
Dad is being way overprotective.
Nobody knows the Westside Ballers outside Denver. I suppose if he never wants his kid to get out of Denver, fine. But that's really really selfish. I mean, the Crips even run South Park.
He joins the Crips, he has opportunities all over the country. That's like your kid being accepted to Harvard and you make him go to the state school. Stop thinking about yourself, dick
