We invite the entire Baton Rouge community to join us as we unite against all forms of violence and develop further strategies toward its prevention”.
Kris Perret, the attorney who represents Reggie’s Bar, said business owners contacted Mr Tate directly on Wednesday “and look forward to meeting with him and his team soon to work together to address the issues raised in his recent press release”.
