FORT MILL, S.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) - New video obtained by Fox 46 shows the aftermath of an encounter at Captain Steve's Family Seafood Restaurant in Fort Mill on June 1.
The family calling themselves the says they were there to celebrate a 72-year-old veterans birthday. They are accusing the restaurant of making them leave and making racist remarks.
"They were just trying to sit down and trying to eat and then it erupted to being challenged by a waitress over and over again to in my words she almost provoked them," said family spokesperson John Barnett.
Barnett says he believes somewhere in the new video released is where that phrase was said.
"One waitress in particular, she is in a blue shirt while Captain Steve and another waitress is talking to the family. She goes over his shoulder so to speak and says something and because of the sound you can’t really hear it, but we know something was said in a negative manner," said Barnett.
We would not be rallying and holding press conferences for nothing. Somebody said something to upset this family and a 72-year-old veteran. We see her being moved back from another waitress as if to say calm down, and then she comes again to do the same thing over again, so the video displayed from the law firm does not show the whole picture," he said.
