Vibe Goes Violent

 A shooting took place last night at Club Vibe on Ridgewood Road.  WLBT reported: 

witnesses say four people, including a security guard, were shot near a nightclub called Club Vibe....

Just behind that club, 3 On Your Side spotted one person being taken away in an ambulance.

A car was also surrounded by crime scene tape next to a nearby shopping center. The car’s windshield appeared to be riddled with bullet holes.Rest of article.

Get out NOW-- while you can!

Let me give some advice here: if the name begins with “club” you should avoid it. Club volcano, club 2001, club elite, etc etc.

Just across the street from the M-Bar. Same clientele.

You are taking a life or death chance going to clubs/bars. Why not just stay in your neighborhood and socialize with friends, family and have a good time!

Where were the cameras and security?

My suggestion go to places where the Mayors, Judges, Pastors and Politicians go to have a good time, you may be safer!

Oh, yea and go before 10:00pm. The Fools usually don’t come out early.

I had to drive that area last week for the 1st time in years and I wondered what "Vibe" was.

Another M-Bar.

Got it.

Nestled between the Hilton and the M-Bar. So much for having business guests stay there instead of downtown. The Sheraton Refuge is all that's left.

Expand the CCID and Capitol police jurisdiction now!

What’s wrong with just going to a redneck bar? I’d much rather be roughed up with pointy toed cowboy boots or a cue stick than be shot. I guess M-Bar patrons haven’t developed an appreciation for Patsy Cline or George Jones.

11:56 - As an 'add on' to your advice, allow me to mention this: If the name of the place BEGINS with the word 'Club', avoid it at all costs. If the name of the place ENDS with the word 'Club' chances are you'll be safe.

According to Jackson’s crime rate in 2022, as recorded by the FBI Crime Reporting Statistics for 2022, the violent crime rate in Jackson is 733 violent crimes per 100,000 people, which is double the national average and triple the Mississippi average.
It goes on to list the 10 most dangerous neighborhoods/areas in Jackson and they’re ALL in the 39204 area. That area has a population of approx 744 people, yet it has 860% more crime than the Jackson average crime rate. In this area, there are 6,660 violent crimes per 100,000 people. This violent crime rate is 2,846% higher than the overall Mississippi violent crime rate and 1,748% higher than the national crime rate! The FBI actually recommends that people in this area stay inside at night.

2:34 p.m., I don't know where you accessed those figures, but can you see how Jackson compares to other cities, specifically? I'm always surprised to see how Jackson compared to the other large crime centers constantly mentioned in the media. In most cases, Jackson is usually worse - in quite a few, MUCH worse. In fact, for example, the last comparison I did a couple of years ago, Jackson was, as a percentage of population, just shy of being FIVE TIMES more dangerous than Chicago! Hard to believe, but it was/is.

The real tragedy is that, while the citizens of Jackson are in the streets day after day, doing their best to make/keep the crime rate as high as possible, the national media all but ignores them! Talk about unfair? Someone needs to be providing the national media outlets with information so that credit can be given where credit is due!

Help me figure that out. Mayors, judges and politicians go either to country clubs or trendy, expensive steak houses where money changes hands.

Not sure about pastors.

2:34 PM -- Your numbers don't make sense.

Though Club Vibe presents itself as a Sports Bar and Restaurant, its gallery of photos and ads show live, vulgar flesh shows, including women wearing thongs and performing twerking contests.

Is that shopping center zoned for (borderline) strip shows?

When such places were on Lakeland and in South Jackson, they included drug dealers and prostitutes.

The name does not have "club" in it. The name is Vibe Sports Bar & Grill, and also Vibe Sports Grill for short. The legal name is Vibe Enterprise LLC.

No one is safe in Jackson anymore.we have a battalion of MPs here. They should be called out if the JPD can't stop these punks and thugs. Jackson's leadership and PD are WEAK.

So vibe shootout and Texaco shootout, that’s pretty good for a Sunday. Maybe 6 or 7 shot and nobody died.

Law enforcement can’t combat Jackson culture and that’s what we are dealing with.

Just 100 yards from the Hilton?

No-go zone.

I used to go to Club Hilton years ago, but that was for a shoe-shine.

1001 was a meat market in the '80s.

4:38 pm— We didn’t mean to insult you, hoss, but have a question.
Do you check me for a gun at the door and, if lacking, issue me one?

Who cares what the legal registered name is. The local yoots refer to it as Club Vibe.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
