Quote:
(AP) Michael Richards will apologize in person to the four black men he targeted in a tirade of racial slurs during a recent comedy club performance.

A retired judge will mediate the meeting and determine whether he should take any other action to resolve the matter, Richards' spokesman and an attorney for the men said Friday.

A cash settlement could be part of the resolution, said Howard J. Rubenstein, who represents Richards.

"My client Michael hopes to put it behind him," Rubenstein said.

A time and place for the meeting have not been set.

Rubenstein complimented attorney Gloria Allred, who is representing the four comedy club patrons, for recommending the meeting.

Allred said Richards should meet with her clients "to hear the pain that he inflicted on them and to apologize to them."




I hope that link shows

I hope all goes well for Richards, I really do. I truly believe he is sincerely apologetic and sorry.

I say forgive and forget. I know it might have hurt the people but it's not worth fighting over. Life is too short to fight over something. He just apologize and just don't say it again.

He aplogized already, I think it's a bit much to get into a chash settlement when the 'offended' guest turned right around and said some racial slurs to.

It's amazing how some money can suddenly and magically heal psychological and emotional damage!
