72-year-old Judy Tucker and her son, Robbie, became Internet Public Enemies #1 and #2 last week after video emerged of them attacking two female soldiers, one of whom was pregnant, inside a family restaurant in Macon, Georgia, calling them “gay black bitches” and other slurs.
After the video went viral, Judy was banned from the restaurant, fired from her job at Mercer University, where she taught art, and was forced to close her fine art restoration business.
Now, it looks like little Robbie has been forced to close his small business, as well.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Robbie Tucker is, er, was? the proud owner of Corvette Classics, a used Corvette dealership in Macon, Georgia, not far from the restaurant where he and his mother lodged the assault.
Well, as of Monday morning, the Google listing for Corvette Classics shows the business as permanently closed:
And if you try calling the phone number, you get a message saying it has been disconnected.
This comes just days after the page was hijacked with images of Robbie and his mother screaming at the servicewomen and an onslaught of negative reviews:
The unofficial Facebook business page for Corvette Classics was also inundated with over 500 scathing 1-star reviews:
The moral of the story? First, don’t be a racist, homophobic, bigoted a-hole. And, while you’re at it, don’t attack pregnant soldiers who have put their lives on the line for your freedom.

Low Country Boy
I think this is a great First Amendment “teaching moment.” The First Amendment protects this man’s freedom of speech. It does not, however, protect him from the consequences of that hate speech. Good riddance to bad trash.
prarie pup
Amen, country boy. We have the right to say what we want…let’s just hope that those who say hateful things are prepared for the consequences.
MikeE
No.
The 1st amendment protects him from GOVERNMENT intrusion into his speech.
It has absolutely nothing to do with other people, or his ability to speak freely anywhere he wants.
This isn’t a “1st amendment teaching moment” since it has nothing to do with the 1st amendment.
The first amendment protects your right to speak freely without the government abridging that right through laws or other means. It is meant as a protection against a totalitarian government that would try to stifle speech critical of that government.
Low Country Boy
No, Mike E. You are incorrect. There was governmental action in the arrest of his mother and that is enough to trigger the First Amendment. At least that what the case law says I read in law school.

@Low Country what are you talking about? There is clearly no “state action”. The government is neither endorsing, opposing, nor stymieing free speech in any way. They are arresting the perpetrators based on an assault and battery.
I am not sure where you went to law school or what cases you read, but your understanding of the law is misguided at best

The mother was arrested for assault, not for speech.

If he’s smart he’ll start s GoFundMe account so all the bigots can donate to show their outrage and how much they hate the Liberals.
Creamsicle
If he were smart he’d have told his unhinged mother to calm down and be an adult. Then both of them would still have jobs.

Glad that something is actually being done about hateful, abusive, ignorant behavior. In this day and age I cannot believe that in a civilized society people are still so ignorant. Glad to see it has not been tolerated.

While Judy was spewing rage over her parking issue, not-so-little son Robbie was doing it for fun. Watch him smile when he goes after the pregnant woman. It is appalling that they let anger blind them to both the pregnancy and the military service. It is disgusting that Judy felt entitled to hound them over an inconvenience and assault them because she was being recorded. And it is disturbing that her son took such predatory joy in the act. They deserve to pay for their actions and the type of people they show themselves to be

I don’t know why but I thought it was about Robbie Turner the lying drag queen.
DCguy
Trump is emboldening bigots, but thank goodness the free market is making their bigotry expensive.

This should serve as a learning moment for Robbie and Judy Turner but it won’t. These two idiots will somehow try to turn themselves into victims and there will be far too many others who will allow them to do so. Don’t be surprised if one of their like minded friends doesn’t hold a fund raiser or something similar to help these “poor defenseless souls” survive now that both are (deservedly) unemployed.

Karma has been served.
