Everybody knows that the Ballers Montessori school is little more than a day-care. The Crips program also has special after-school classes--like firearms cleaning and assembly--that the Ballers haven't been able to add due to budget problems.

But the funny thing is that they only seem to kill each other. So nobody really pays all that much attention to it, other than to have a good laugh over the occasional news story like this.

The kid is 4. They might as well just settle for the Westside Ballers because if you don't have your kid on the waiting list for the Crips before they are even born it's next to impossible to get them in.

Most other fathers in his situation would be long gone.

The answer would also determine which gang the kid ends up in.
