Just An Ice Cream Folks

Carnival of Crime
The Caribbean Carnival in Manchester has been held since 1971 ....
... but like its big sister Notting Hill Caribbean Carnival in London, it appears that over the years the large congregations are just an ignition point for some to start shooting at each other, or anyone else.
