Racist who walked into Mississippi club and hurled N-word at black patrons learns exceedingly painful lesson
A night out turned into a brutal brawl at a Mississippi club after a man stormed in and unleashed a barrage of racial slurs, sparking a violent group attack that left him bloodied, naked and hospitalized.
The explosive incident unfolded late Saturday night at C.J. Lounge in Holly Springs. Police say the man, identified only as being from Tippah County, barged into the newly opened nightclub and immediately began using the N-word while referring to black patrons.
'The guy walked in, and he was very aggressive,' Miles Stone, who was at the club on Memphis Street when the incident happened, told Fox13.
'Other guys in the area were listening, trying to remain calm. They asked him to leave quietly.'
Cell phone footage obtained by Holly Springs Police shows the unhinged man, who had been stripped naked, being doused in beer by a crowd of people around him.
Seconds earlier, police say the man was seen being stomped, kicked and beaten with sticks and poles.
Despite being pummeled, the man continued shouting racist slurs outside the nightclub.

A second video provided to Fox13 shows the Tippah County man speaking incoherently and appearing to throw gang signs.
'When they were scuffling outside, he was still using the N-word: 'F you N's, f you N's.'' Stone said.
Police later confirmed the man was taken to the hospital on Wednesday with injuries he claimed may include a broken jaw.
Investigators are now reviewing whether the incident could be considered a hate crime - but also stressed that the use of force went far beyond self-defense.
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, Fox13 reported.
Adding fuel to the fire, the club was already under a watchful eye.
Holly Springs Police say they have responded to C.J. Lounge nearly 30 times - in the just three months it's been open - citing various disturbances which include gun-related incidents and even a shooting that left one man with a foot injury.

Miles Stone (pictured), who was at the club on Memphis Street when the incident happened, insisted that the club wasn't to blame
The Holly Springs Police Chief now says he's pushing the district attorney to declare the embattled nightclub as a public nuisance.
Stone however, insisted that the club wasn't to blame.
'I do not think this is a problem spot. I think it is a positive spot,' he said, adding that he doesn't condone the unruly behavior.
'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.'
As of Wednesday the club was closed. Authorities later revealed that the club was operating without a beer or business license.
Holly Springs Police are asking any one with any additional information into the attack to come forwards as the investigation is ongoing.

Illegal migrant criminals are now paying $2,000 to be smuggled OUT of the US by Mexican gangs
Romanian criminals are paying $2000 to be smuggled out of the US and into Mexico, fearing deportation under Donald Trumps crackdown on illegal migrants. Romanian gang members now face losing everything if they are caught by enforcement agents, with increasing numbers of migrants being picked off the street and deported. Instead the criminals are taking a $2,000 financial hit to be smuggled out of the US, using the same guides who took them in, to enable a safe route back home. Romanian gangs began migrating to the US in large numbers in the early 2000s, often entering with the help of Mexican guides. The migrants would often protest that they were persecuted for political reasons in the former communist country of Romania and claim asylum in the US, Gândul reported. In the years until a decision was made on an asylum claim, the Romanian migrants would often enter criminal organisations. The criminals would be careful not to commit acts of violence, which were more likely to see them arrested, instead focusing on thefts and card cloning to accumulate huge sums of money over long periods of time. Once the criminals were finally caught, they were often able to negotiate small sentences by pleading guilty. They would then be deported to a European Union state. In recent years, some of the leaders of the Romanian underworld have fraudulently entered the US and quickly had access to a lifestyle of luxury. However police sources said that after Donald Trump took office, authorities began a serious crackdown on illegal migration, with migrants being picked off the street and deported. Now the Mexican guides who had helped migrants cross into the US are now being used to leave the US fraudulently and enter Mexico. The criminal groups have also used the guides in order to protect the money earned from illegal activities. Sources say that the migrants will meet the guides in Los Angeles and pay $2000 to be taken to the border area. From there they taken across the border and driven to the city of Tijuana. The criminals then visit the Romanian embassy in Mexico where they tell officials that they have lost their documents. They are then issued with a document which allows them to return to Europe. Sources have said that although the Mexican gangs know the criminals they are guiding are carrying large amounts of money on their person, they are not robbed because it would ruin the market for smuggling people in and out of the US.

Trump and Musk joust in astonishing social media duel
Good morning. Elon Musk has called for Donald Trump's impeachment and in effect claimed the president was part of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged child sexual abuse ring in an extraordinary social media blow-up between the former allies on Thursday. Trump did not hold back either, threatening to end federal contracts and tax subsidies for the billionaire's companies as the feud that had been brewing flared up on their respective social media platforms. In the saga's most explosive movement, Musk tweeted: 'Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' The post followed Trump threatening to cut subsidies for Musk's companies as it would save 'billions'. What is the origin of the feud? Tensions have been mounting for weeks over a Republican spending bill that Musk has been critical of. How is it affecting Musk's bottom line? Tesla's shares plunged by about 14.2% on Thursday at market close after the pair traded barbs. The US is imposing sanctions on four judges from the international criminal court (ICC) for what it has termed its 'illegitimate actions' against the United States and Israel, the secretary of state has announced. Marco Rubio announced the sanctions against Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza of Peru, Reine Adélaïde Sophie Alapini-Gansou of Benin and Beti Hohler of Slovenia on Thursday after Donald Trump instructed cabinet officials to devise sanctions against the court. Why were these judges targeted? Two of the judges authorized the arrest warrants against the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the former defense minister Yoav Gallant, while the other pair authorized an ICC investigation into abuses by US personnel in Afghanistan. Has the US targeted others before? Yes – it sanctioned the ICC's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, after he pursued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. As a result, Khan has lost access to his email and had his bank accounts frozen, the Associated Press reported. A district judge in Boston has blocked the Trump administration's ban on Harvard's foreign students from entering the United States after the university argued it had violated federal law. The Ivy League school argued that the administration failed to back up the president's claims that the students posed a threat to national security and asked Judge Allison Burroughs to block the ban. The filing also argued that the administration's national security argument was unsound as, under the ban, the same people were able to still enter the country – just not attend Harvard. The development came while hundreds of thousands of Chinese students in the US struggle with an uncertain future after the state department said last week that it would 'aggressively' revoke visas for Chinese students. Why did Trump ban Harvard from accepting international students? The White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson has called Harvard 'a hotbed of anti-American, antisemitic, pro-terrorist agitators' – claims the school denies. Harvard argues Trump is angry because it has refused to give in to the administration's demands to shape the school's governance, curriculum and ideology of staff and students alike. Russia's overnight missile and drone barrage on Kyiv overnight killed four people after Vladimir Putin vowed revenge for Ukraine's attack on its bomber fleet. The IDF has recovered the bodies of two Israeli-American hostages in their 70s who were abducted during Hamas's 7 October attack, in an overnight operation in southern Gaza. El Salvador is using emergency gang violence legislation to seize land that was granted to people following the country's civil war. The University of Michigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil pro-Palestinian campus groups, the Guardian can reveal, with the records from the school's governing body showing that the university paid at least $800,000 between June 2023 and September 2024 to Ameri-Shield, the parent company of the private security group City Shield. Five students who have been followed, recorded or eavesdropped on said it appeared largely to be an intimidation tactic. Disneyland recently announced an animatronic recreation of Walt Disney, intended to give visitors a sense of 'what it would have been like to be in Walt's presence', earning a rebuke from his granddaughter Joanna Miller. Long a fascination for cinema, posthumanism is starting to feel worryingly current, writes Stuart Heritage, after experts this year voiced concerns about Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain implant company. When a Swiss village was wiped out in seconds after a glacier collapsed above it on 28 May, attention turned to why it happened – and how global heating will make such events more common.

Si la Policía pide retirarlas, hazlo por respeto y convivencia. Con civismo y sentido común no hay molestias. ¡Gracias por colaborar! Police in a small Andalucían town have unleashed a storm after they chose to illustrate a call for people not to disturb their neighbors late at night with … a picture of six older women sitting outside. The move violated the silent Spanish injunction that forbids any attempts to alter the habits of the country's cherished older people – particularly given the long tradition of the outdoor sit-down chat as the heat of the day gives way to the cool of the evening, known as tomando el fresco, or taking the cool air. The social media response was full of force and sarcasm. One typical example: 'We need to put an end to this serious issue – no more impunity for grannies who sit out to enjoy the fresh air.'

Sacked Dorset officer says body worn video 'destroyed' him
