White Mississippi Man Spews N-Word in a Lounge Full of Black Folks, Guess What Happens Next...
Don't you just love when karma comes back like a boomerang? In the case of one white man in Mississippi, his karma happened just minutes after he walked into a Black bar.
In Holly Springs, Miss., Black residents account for more than 70 percent of the city's population. So when an unidentified white man walked into C.J.'s Lounge on Sunday (May 18), he should've known he'd be severely outnumbered. That fact didn't stop him from having the courage to start calling customers and employees racial slurs.
According to statements given to police, the guy walked in the spot already intoxicated. He allegedly began causing a scene and being disrupted. Myles Stone, who works part-time as a DJ and security at C.J.'s Lounge, said Black folks in the lounge tried to remain calm, but things soon took a turn.
'I was hearing him yell out and blare out the N-word repeatedly,' Stone told NewsNation. 'Everyone on planet Earth has to live with their choices, and he walked in there with a choice to be very hateful, very negative.'
At this point, tension was boiling inside the bar and eventually spilled over to outside the establishment. Videos taken by witnesses show the man 'speaking erratically and throwing what investigators believe to be gang signs,' according to Fox 13 News. It's unclear what happened next, but according to more videos, a fight broke out between the white man and several club attendees.
'When they were scuffling outside, he was still using the N-word. 'F you N's, f you N's,'' Stone continued. Eventually, the man was beaten, using sticks and poles, police say. He was also robbed and stripped naked while witnesses recorded him and laughed at his motionless body on the ground.
Despite eye witnesses pointing to him as the clear aggressor, Lt. Col. Kelly McMillen with the Marshall County Sheriff's Office says the matter is being investigated as a hate crime.
'The victim, unfortunately, his jaw's busted open, his eye's busted. He's just in a terrible state of mind right now,' said McMillen. 'We're trying to adopt some search warrants, get those done, and see if we can retrieve information from those social media accounts.'
No arrests have been made yet, according to police. C.J.'s Lounge has since been temporarily closed. There remains a push for the District Attorney to declare the establishment 'a nuisance,' Fox 13 reported. This comes after police say they've been called to the club at least 30 times over the past three months following other violent instances.

Maxwell Anderson found guilty on all counts in murder of Sade Robinson. What to know about verdict
(This story was updated to add more information.) A Milwaukee County jury on June 6 convicted 34-year-old Maxwell Anderson of killing and mutilating 19-year-old Sade Robinson last April. Jurors listened to eight days of witness testimony and delivered the verdict after less than an hour of deliberation. Here's what to know: Yes, jurors found Anderson guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse, hiding a corpse and arson. Jurors took about 45 minutes total to deliberate and find Anderson guilty of all charges. They deliberated for about 15 minutes starting at 4:40 p.m. on June 5, and for about 30 minutes between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. June 6. Anderson remained largely still as the verdicts were read out, appearing to swallow and blink a few times. Scarbrough spoke to the media after the verdict, saying of her daughter: "She will be forever remembered as an angel. She is a hero." Scarbrough later urged support for missing Black and Brown women, and advocated for the creation of a state taskforce. More: Wisconsin lawmakers tried to create a task force for missing and murdered Black women. Will this year be different? Swanigan said the Robinson family will continue to pursue its civil case against Anderson. She added that Robinson's family hopes to force Anderson to participate in a deposition, so outstanding questions about her death might be answered. The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Anderson in June 2024, and sued the two bars Robinson attended with Anderson on the night of her death in April 2025. Later, the attorney chastised some media outlets' decision to publish graphic images during the proceedings. Vance-Curzan said the state was 'feeling confident' throughout the trial, going on to say authorities spent "countless hours" investigating. 'When a case is investigated the way this one was investigated, the evidence just spoke for itself,' he said. The prosecutor also said he was thinking of Robinson's family. 'While we are satisfied with this verdict, our hearts go out to the family of Sade Robinson,' he said. 'This is a tragedy, and I'm just hopeful this verdict will be a step towards healing.' Cotton told WISN-12 News he wasn't surprised by the jury's quick deliberation. 'We respect the jury's verdict,' Cotton said. 'We understand they had a very difficult job to do. They obviously thought about it overnight.' He also said there was a "sense of relief" with the end of the trial. Cotton reportedly received personal threats. 'My heart goes out to Sade's family,' he added. 'I can't imagine what they're going through." Anderson will be sentenced at 10 a.m. Aug. 15. A conviction for first-degree intentional homicide carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment in Wisconsin. It's possible that Anderson could serve part of the sentence in prison and then be eligible for extended supervision, but it will be decided by a judge. No, Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty.

Behind the scenes: How Israeli intel uncovered Hezbollah's drone network
A glimpse into the hunt for Hezbollah's Unit 127, which during the war managed to attack deep inside Israeli territory. An intelligence officer, Lieutenant Colonel N., head of "Lebanon affairs" in the Israeli Air Force's intelligence division, has been tracking Hezbollah's Unit 127 for over two years, the same unit the IDF attacked on Thursday in Beirut's southern suburb, Dahiyeh. This unit is responsible for importing, manufacturing, and deploying various unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from Lebanon into Israel. During the war, the terrorists succeeded in striking locations within Israel and killing civilians and soldiers, most notably in the Golani base attack, which claimed soldiers' lives. At the height of the northern conflict, Lt. Col. N. led efforts to uncover the secrets of this small Hezbollah unit, significantly disrupting its leadership, key figures, and infrastructure. About six weeks ago, he used intelligence gathered with his team to strike targets in Lebanon. On Thursday, the Israeli Air Force launched a major attack in the heart of Dahiyeh targeting Unit 127's drone infrastructure. What has happened in recent months with Hezbollah's Unit 127? 'Hezbollah took a significant beating over the course of the war and is now attempting to regroup by all means. They identified the threat posed by UAVs and invested heavily in them with Iranian support. We detected the plans and their desire to increase production. We are trying to surround Hezbollah with a tightening ring—not only militarily, but also economically, particularly regarding their weapons access and mass production efforts,' the Israeli intelligence source said. Why did you attack last night? Lt. Col. N. responded: 'There was compelling evidence of [the location of] sites involved in UAV manufacturing. The operation was complicated because it took place in a civilian area—Hezbollah operates beneath the civilian population in Dahiyeh. They believed civilians would shield them, preventing us from attacking. But thanks to our intelligence, we ensured extensive evacuations; no munitions were deployed before we confirmed that no civilians were present. We made a genuine effort to preserve human life while carrying out our strikes.' What did you target? 'We hit seven targets: five in Beirut and two in southern Lebanon,' Lt. Col. N. confirmed. How is Hezbollah operating differently from the peak of the war? 'I believe they're trying to evade Israeli detection now. But there's no magic solution for them. To build and deploy UAVs, they must go through several stages that we can detect and counter. They assumed civilians would protect them, but we must constantly innovate against this cruel enemy,' the intelligence source stated. What will the future hold? 'This is an ongoing contest. Our goal is always to remain one step ahead. These strikes are the best form of defense - preventing the enemy from obtaining sufficient capabilities in numbers or quality to pose a real threat,' Lt. Col. N. said. What was Lebanon's reaction to last night's strikes in Dahiyeh, the heart of Hezbollah country? 'So far, it's quiet. Northern Israeli residents did not feel that the attack happened. We hope this calm continues. As far as I'm concerned, the fact that Israeli civilians can travel in the north today is itself an important achievement,' Lt. Col. N. concluded. No official Lebanese response has been issued yet.
