It's hilarious that the media won't say the name of the restaurant.


Yep - because it doesn’t fit their narrative and view of racism.

Imagine for a moment if wypipo opened a store with that name. Outrage!!!!

True.


One year, two years, three and four years from now you will have nearly identical headlines in the news.

Probably because the killing had more to do with the daiquiri shop located next door that always has people loitering out front.

Why mention the restaurant if it hadn’t nothing to do with the associated shooting? Outside of people cracking comments about blacks with Chicken and Watermelon????

Literally anywhere else. It's situated on S Claiborne right next to Jazz Daquiris where the gangabangers and bums like to hang out and stay drunk all day. The Church's chicken up the street used to be the happening spot for people getting murdered in the parking lot. Not sure what happened

Great point. Then why mention Cricket at all? And since they did, Why not say a cellular retailer?

Surely you see the difference.

I don't care how delicious the food is, I ain't going to eat at any restaurant in any neighborhood anywhere that has metal bars on the windows or door. The picture tells me all I need to know, but I kinda already figured it out, as did most everyone else here, in my opinion.

How true !
Only question is : WHEN, will protests/marches/civil disobedience/street blocking and flat out riots begin ? Black lives matter don't they ??

You often see business names skipped in reports... it’s not totally out of the ordinary

That said, this is one of those spots with semi regular issues. Two of the Telly Hankton murders took place right in front too.

I wouldn’t mind picking up some wings but I’m nottrying to hang out and eat there as my regular spot.

that particular spot is historically very bloody. If I recall correctly, the owner of the daq shop was murdered along with his brother pretty recently there.


If I recall....

Dude got killed out front, daq owner named as a witness, and in turn was killed.

I was in the jury pool for one, and someone was caught trying to sneak into the courthouses jury room during selection. I don’t mind serving but nooooope, not letting myself get picked for that one.

Wild west. Truly frightening that they were firing indiscriminately at first, too.

The real question is WHEN will people stop comparing gang and drug related violence to cops killing black men at alarming rates?

See, this is why no body cares about black on black violence.

The worst quote of Harrison’s presser... (not verbatim but not searching it right now): “of course this was personal, there’s nothing more personal than firing indiscriminately into a crowd”

It was quite the take.

That said, I’m guessing this is likely a simple case of payback and the crowd was largely involved in the previous drama (at least by association). Doesn’t excuse it by any means but it’s not akin to rolling into rouses on a Tuesday afternoon and shooting. I’m guessing the jazz daiquiri parking lot crowd on a Saturday night probably has some common affiliation

Alarming rates? Are you drunk? what's your reception like on your cricket phone out there in front of Jazz Daqs?

Blacks commit a reprehensibly disproportionate amount of violent crime. Hence they interact with LE at a disproportionate rate. But in any regard, I can tell you it isn't a white cop hiding in the bushes with a fricking machine gun looking to mow down some black kid over his shoes, drugs, or perceived disrespect.
