Parents argue over which gang their 4-year old should join

[texasmom]

Most dinnertable discussions don't wind up going in this direction.

He is screwed. The State doesn't have cause (yet) to take him away from his biological parents and put him in a good home.

It's a culture of violence. Martin Luther set them free, and their culture nurtured violence.

I would have said "King" but then some of our posters here would think I was talking about Elvis.

Had to delete my first reply as it would have violated 50 forum rules and my own sense of what should be said. "Check yourself fool" makes a nice check 6 file.

Halo46, what are you doing with my long established monicker with a number after it?

What culture are you talking about?

What culture are you talking about?

Poor urban areas populated by ethnic minorities.

Really doesn't matter if someone is an ethnic minority or not.

Gangs and gang membership are an endless cycle of drugs, guns, violence, and death. 

Most gangs require initiates to either kill a rival gang member or kill someone at random to get in.  Most gangs thrive on drug and gun sales.  Even the one of the oldest of gangs, the Hell's Angels (almost always Caucasian), have morphed into this deadly cycle.

I guess if someone is such a loser that gang life is the only option...maybe being the master of their own demise is a better choice...same end result, only quicker.

BTW: Something stinks about the original story.  Two RIVAL gang members are boyfriend/girlfriend?  Most gangs murder rivals on sight.

I'd say this case pretty much disproves Darwin's theory. Another sad day for humanity.

[AKIron]

I have a solution. Cut the child in half and let him join each gang.

The true parent will concede and let him join the gang of the other parent.

Actually,the civil rights march(and movement) was organized by secularists(A. Phillip Randolph + many others)..Martn Luther King perverted this showing of human solidarity by trying to make it a faith based movement.(which it wasn't).

As for those wretched parents,i hope that is enough to have that child taken away and found a caring home.

Humans are known to practice anti-darwinism.  Survival of everyone.
