HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. - A man was attacked after walking into a Mississippi club and using racial slurs, police said.
According to police, the attack happened at C.J. Lounge in Marshall County. Police said the man walked into the venue and started using the "N-word" when referring to patrons.
Officers told FOX13 that the man went to the hospital Wednesday, believing he may have a broken jaw. The incident happened late Saturday night. Police are trying to determine if the attack is a hate crime.
Holly Springs Police provided cell phone footage to FOX13, showing a Tippah County man who had been stripped naked. Police said the people who attacked him are seen pouring beer on him in the video. Seconds before that happened, police said the man was kicked and stomped on nearly every part of his body.
"The guy walked in, and he was very aggressive," said Miles Stone. Stone said he was at the club on Memphis Street late Saturday night when the incident happened. "Other guys in the area were listening, trying to remain calm. They asked him to leave quietly."
Police said the Tippah County man continued to call people racial slurs. In another video provided by Holly Springs Police, the man can be seen outside of the bar speaking erratically and throwing what investigators believe to be gang signs.
"When they were scuffling outside, he was still using the N-word: 'F you N's, f you N's.'" Stone said.
Officers said the attackers used poles and sticks to beat the man.
Stone said he doesn't believe the club to be a problem spot. But Holly Springs Police disagree. The police chief estimated that officers had been to about 30 calls at the club in the three months it's been open. Police said they've responded to fights, guns found inside of the venue, and a man being shot in the foot. The police chief said he's pushing the district attorney to declare it as a nuisance.
"I'm not standing for anything like that. However, we have to live with our choices, and he made the choice to go in there aggressively, and he has to live with the choice he's made," Stone said.
Holly Springs Police said they have a person of interest they would like to speak with regarding the incident, but they believe several people are responsible. If you have information, they would like to speak with you.
FOX13 reached out to the bar's owner. We had not heard back by the time this story was published. The business was closed when FOX13 visited Wednesday. Police told FOX13 that the business closed due to operating without a beer or business license.
Going into a mostly black bar and calling people the “N” word is when you’re just too chicken chit to kill yourself. 😏

Not quite as effective as “suicide by cop”, obviously.... since the guy survived. And is now famous for being not just racist, but sublimely stupid, to boot.
Stick and ‘poles’ were laying around the bar? That’s a waste of good pool cues.
Yeah. I said it! What are ya'll gonna do about it?!?!?!?!?

Well it didn’t happen at the Superfly Sports Lounge in Holly Springs. It’s been closed since about 2021. I had an ocassional trucking route that took me through there.
Probably 6 years ago I took a driveby pic of it while going through town. Sent it to a black friend from college days, who lives in Oregon. He sent a text. “Bro! Ya should have stopped!!
The outrage the ‘N’ word provokes is ridiculously exaggerated. Besides being the ultimate taboo in the epithet hierarchy, it exclusively posesses a magical power in that it is rendered completely harmless if uttered by black vocal cords. All other insults are equal opportunity.
Not only Islam.
I've seen plenty of evil Christian priests and minsters in films and TV shows. Lechers, pedophiles, drunkards, hypocrites, rapists, con artists, even murderers.
But I've yet to see an evil rabbi.
“I’m guessing either drunk, high or suicidal. Maybe all of the above.”
Regarding the assailants you are 100% correct.
The article said the man was from ‘Tippah’ county, which is two counties east of Holly Springs, which is in Marshall county. I was raised in Benton county which is in between.............
Why the hell would he go into a bar AND START CALLING PEOPLE NITWITS?
Attempted suicide by proxy.
What happened to “freedom of speech”? Eh?
When I grew up, Negro was the common name for Black people. It was taught in school. It was on the census.
Nigger, was also a common word. It was just a crass way of saying “Negro” When said in a public place or amongst others, no one even looked your way.
It was just a “WORD”. “Slang”.
The “Left” has weaponized the language against us. Telling us what words we can use and which ones we can’t. Redefining their meanings at the same time (their goal).
I don’t use the “word” “nigger” in my common speech. (except while watching On Patrol live or COPS), but by MY choice. I have the RIGHT to use it, especially when EVERY Black person uses it CONSTANTLY!
“Reverse the races.”
That’s an excellent point, and you are correct.
The result should be the same, either way.
Its like calling you mother/wife a “WHORE”.
I get punched, YOU go to jail.
Worth it? Oh, I don’t know your wife or mother.
Next time he’ll bring a Gun
Yep, still drive (part-time) through Tippah, when coming from Huntsville to Blue Mountain.
