Natchez man shot at Danny’s

Published Monday, June 9, 2008

VIDALIA — Vidalia Police are investigating an early-Saturday morning shooting.

The incident allegedly occurred at approximately 1 a.m. in the area of Danny’s Lounge, 405 Clinton St.

Witnesses said an SUV possibly occupied by two white males and two black males drove up to the area, and then pistol shots were heard, Vidalia Police Capt. Arthur Lewis said.

The SUV then reportedly left the area.

One victim, a native of Natchez, was reportedly injured and taken to Natchez Regional Hospital for treatment, where investigators questioned him about the incident, Lewis said.

Though the police are unclear about motives, they believe it may have involved a romantic dispute, Lewis said.

The matter is still under investigation.

I wonder if this is the same SUV from Saturday night's purse snatching?

Sounds like the Danny's place needs some extra patrol cars checking it out or the police nees to go in and shut it down.

"Im waiting on some negative comments... 2 blacks and 2 whites."

Looks like you already made it thick.

Yeah, Thick, are you a racist? What's wrong with a couple of white dudes and black dudes riding around together shootin' people? Sounds like equal opportunity to me.

No I'm not racist, I was waiting on someone to make a racist comment they always do...

I'm not racist its the people on here. Someone always make racist comments and I just want to see what kind of comments people will post on this topic. I have never made comments on Natchez Democrat that degrading people. Some people don’t care what they say. People even say bad things when a person has been killed. People just don’t care.

You are in good company, Thick. I'm jealous of white people, too.

Hold Up..A romantic dsispute? Are the shooters lovers?
Natchez Democrat writer quit leaving loose ends for us to put together.

Also, I used to visit Danny's lounge back in the day (1970s. I can't beleive that club is still standing let alone open...Geeez! I thought the dance "funky chicken"
and the slick moves of the "robot" destroyed the foundation. Now they shooting!!! What a waste! Kids don't
nothing about having a good time

Were these two couples? Were they just dating?

Whether or not Thick is racist, what she said is true. What Redusmfan is true also. To me race doesn't matter when it some to what's right and what's wrong. Yesterday's article, that had disabled comments, was proof of that. When they disabled them, certain people found another article to finish what they started.

About this article, I am glad no one was killed, no matter what color. I'm wondering what kind of romantic dispute. Are these guys dating? I don't have enough information.

Isn't Dannys the same place the folks in the mysterious bridge wreck not too long ago were coming from?

Posted by drawpaintsing (anonymous) on June 10, 2008 at 11:49 a.m. (Suggest removal)

Yes, Peace, it is.

Posted by freedom42 (anonymous) on June 10, 2008 at 12:05 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Since the paper says four guys, I hope they weren't dating but some one was dating a woman involved with someone else. Or wait, does that make me sound homophobic? What ever, red is right, they are just thugs who need to be put away.

Did the patrons of In The Mix move across the river? Wasn't closing that bar supposed to stop some of the goings on around Natchez? I told yall it would be somewhere else if not there...they can always find another location, and at least then you knew where they were gonna be. Don't close Dannys...just keep a better eye on the patrons who go there or they will move to Dimples or Doc Big Loves.

Anywhere Curtis Coble goes you can bet there will be trouble!!!! You don't do what he likes & you will pay dearly.

Curtis hangs out at Danny's Lounge? Is that where he moved his groupies?

elvisss how can i be jealous of white people when I'm white. HAHA. Right is right, people need to stop degrading people no matter what color. It's people like you who always tends to make harsh comments. When I said "Im waiting on some negative comments... 2 blacks and 2 whites." I knew it would be someone like you to start the comments... "You are in good company, Thick. I'm jealous of white people, too." Now that was RACIST.

I repeat what I said earlier, I have never made comments on Natchez Democrat that degrades people and I'm not about to start. I have more respect for myself and others. If you want to say bad things about people go ahead I don't have to live with that you do. REMEMBER: what you say will come back to bite you. People get on here and say things that hurts and yeah its not you or your family but next time it MIGHT be. So be mindful of what you say.

where the two couples 2 white guys and 2 black guys, or were they interacial couples?? HAHAHA!

with the way some guys walk around with their pants hanging way down and their butts hanging out, I figure they are all gay and trying to get some action.

I am always surprised to see how many young gay guys there are in Natchez trying to sell their booties.

Not trying to be mean, thick, but you kinda did toss the ball into the court, so to speak, challenging anyone to a match. I'm not ragging you, only pointing out that if you serve the first ball, expect someone to hit it back with as much force, or even more, than you served with.

Hahahahaaaaaaaasouthside! That's a good explanation for why some guys wear saggy britches! They're advertising for a b.call! Those are the same guys who'll grab their "areas" in public and dare you to say something!

Don't throw some comment on here if you don't want to be held accountable for it, Thick. And it's okay to be jealous of rich white people. They have it better than we do, and you know it.
