On Saturday, the 53rd annual Old West End festival became the wild, wild west. Most of us are scratching our heads and ask why? What began as a fun day; my parish, St. Martin de Porres, proudly participated in the King Wamba parade. Seniors including myself rode in a van, waving to the residents and passing candy to the children; a little rain, but little did we know, 6 hours later some gunmen had ideas of violence and perhaps killing someone.
