Pops Saloon will remain closed for the weekend following a New Year's Eve shootout at the Jackson nightspot. Pops announced on Facebook:
Two men pulled out pistols and started shooting during a fight. Four people were wounded. However, there is something else to consider. The same people who own Pops also own the infamous Daiquiri Bar on Capitol Street and a strip club. The co-owner, Laramie "Jacktown Bud" Collins, was murdered on at Southside Beauty and Barber Shop on McDowell Road in November 2021.
So what do we have here? A Capitol Street nightclub with shootouts and homicides. Shootouts at Pops. An owner shot down in cold blood in what was probably a targeted killing. It doesn't take a genius to know what goes on at strip clubs and it's not just getting nekked.
There is a common denominator in all of this violence and it is the ownership. That, my friends, is the bottom line.

Ownership and the culture
Who cares. Don’t go to places like this and you won’t have to deal with it. The degeneracy in this country is off the charts. “OMG there was a shooting at Shit People’s Bar and Club!” Yeah… what did you expect from the culture that occupies a place like that?
It’s the culture center of Jackson
Closed? Now I have no where to go!
Bring back Bird Land night club
The thugs will just change venues for their shoot-outs.
I've read much on this site about the high number of gangs in Jackson, presumably all Black. When will the "press" do a thorough piece on the facts of the gang presence here? Would there be too much danger involved? Would anyone be willing to sit down for an interview unless it is anonymous? Enough with the "culture" references until we get more of the broad story of Black life in Jackson. More facts.
Shut it down permanently!
the ''strip club'' referred to above is a lowlife rat joint.
babes is professionally managed and there has never been any trouble there.
you sound like that thug frank melton blaming all of jacksons problems on babes.
well. a federal court injunction and $500,000 damage award proved just how big a liar frank melton was.
Maybe a gun "buy back" would stop the shootings. It worked in Australia.
Nope. Chowke emphatically stated multiple times that there are no gangs in Jackson.
I loved Frank Melton he was my favorite mayor
America isn’t Australia
What's the issue? Nothing but a continuingl cleaning up of the gene pool by these killings. As long as me and mine are not frequenting these joints, my/our life is not in danger. And for those that are in the 'killing field' and not surviving - the loss may be for the good of the whole.
I guess I’ll have to take my business down the street to Boot’s Hat & Cane
@2:43 PM Did you see the poster's handle? You have a firm grasp on the obvious (as told to Howard Cosell).
@3:33 pm, yeah, but it's taking too long.
Bars without windows or windows with bars are both clear indicators that it's a rough joint. Oh, and then there's the chalk outlines in the parking lot.
What was the source of Jacktown Bud's money? Who killed him and why? Was an arrest ever made? Is there an Intelligence unit in the JPD anymore? Maybe Stokes is right about Drug Boys organized crime running the city. The City DA running a night club, under Federal indictment, how high does it go? I guess we should wait for the Clarion Ledger to investigate. Wish Kingfish had a staff of investigative reporters.
Wiseowl, no arrests made. Dude covered his face, walked up and killed him. Got cleanly away. My theory? Well, if a certain someone now deceased who had just gotten out of prison and wanted back in the strip club business and someone was standing in his way or he wanted to send a message.......
so some clown named jack town bud got wasted in a south jackson barber shop. probably cause he was banging other guys friend girl.
KF has ''a theory''
that danny owens orchestrated the killing.
good luck proving that.
organized crime doesn't run Jackson, but disorganized crime does run the streets. and disorganized crime is what they have in jackson.
there is no mob in jackson. corrupt politicians run the rackets around here.
name me a district attorney in the entire south that owns and runs a daiquiri shop thug bar like joey owens.
hinds county DAs
ed peters
robert smith
jody owens
starting to see a pattern?
