The Coffee Tavern – Billings, Montana business owner’s racist Facebook comments ignite firestorm

The owner of a new downtown coffee shop, facing threats of a boycott over his hate-filled racist and sexist rants on Facebook, apologized Sunday, calling his comments "the biggest mistake I ever made in my life."

"I completely apologize," Larry Heafner said. "It was the dumbest thing I ever did. … I’m not going to sit and try to excuse my derogatory or negative comments, because it was ridiculous. I do want to say, I’m not racist by no means, and I’m not a woman hater."

Heafner is the majority owner of the Coffee Tavern at 2828 Second Ave. N., which was supposed to open this week. In light of the rapidly growing controversy over his Facebook posts, he said, the opening date has been indefinitely postponed.
