Lethbridge Mayor apologizes to racist tirade victims
LETHBRIDGE – “I met with them last Friday afternoon, and I wanted to express an apology that the event happened in the City of Lethbridge.”
The four men who were the subject of Kelly Pocha’s vitriolic tirade April 21 at a Denny’s restaurant in Lethbridge received an unreserved public apology from Mayor Chris Spearman at a city council meeting on Monday.
Spearman said he wanted to make the men feel confident that most people in the city are not like what they experienced. He tells Lethbridge News Now the men said they loved living in Lethbridge, and that it’s a wonderful city.
He also mentioned near the end of Monday’s meeting, that three out of four of them men are local business owners.
