More bad news for Judy Tucker, the Georgia woman who was carted off to jail last weekend after attacking two female soldiers inside a family restaurant.
The 72-year-old’s problems all started last Saturday when she and her homophobic son became enraged at two female soldiers, Treasure Sharpe and Stephanie Mitchell, who they say “got in their way” in a Cheddar’s parking lot in Macon, Georgia.
The mother/son duo chased the soldiers, one of whom is pregnant, into the restaurant and created quite a scene. LaKeycia Ward caught the whole thing on camera and shared the video on social media, where it quickly went viral.
In the video, Tucker can be seen screaming at Sharpe. When Mitchell tries standing in front of her pregnant friend to protect her, Tucker gets even angrier and hits Sharpe in the face.
“I’m pregnant! Look at me, I’m pregnant!” Sharpe replies after being struck. “You’re pushing a pregnant lady!”
To which Tucker’s son responds, “Oh really? By her?”
Witnesses also say Tucker’s son began verbally abusing the soldiers, calling them “gay black bitches” and asking, “Does the military let lesbians serve?”
Police were called and Tucker was taken away in handcuffs, sobbing.
Now, Darden Restaurants, which owns Cheddar’s, has released a statement saying that the entire Tucker family is banned from its establishment.
“We were appalled by the behavior of the individuals who confronted the two female service members. Such behavior flies in the face of our values and those individuals are no longer welcome in our restaurant,” the statement read.
But it doesn’t stop there.
According to the Telegraph, Tucker is an artist who teaches occasional art classes at several Macon area colleges, including Mercer University. Until now, that is.
Mercer University has also released a statement saying that Tucker will no longer be invited into their classrooms.
“She has occasionally taught an art class in the past, but will not be teaching at Mercer in the future,” university spokesperson Kyle Sears says.
Tucker was arrested and released on $650 bond. She was charged with simple battery though police say more charges could be pending.

GOOD!!! She deserves what she got, AND she deserves jail time AND the fine. I”m glad Cheddar banned her and her family, and I”m glad the university will not allow her on the campus in the future. She is disgusting.
Billysees
The really ‘great’ thing to do would be to ‘forgive’ them in a public way so everyone can see. It appears they’ve been punished considerably for the bad mistake they made. You don’t want to get into any jail-time stuff if possible.

@billysees, if you think that ‘Donald Trumps homophobic religious radical public is going to give a damn about being nice you’re crazy’. These kinds of situations are happening more and more everyday, now that Trump is president. My husband and I were forced to sell our house and move to Chicago after I was kept from seeing him for three days during his open heart surgery. I didn’t know if he was alive or dead and the hospital just laughed at me. I’m distraught over our situation. I hope the law throws that radical woman in jail, naked, filled with sex hungry lesbians. I’ve had it with the hateful Christians in America. I’m a disabled veteran and I can’t believe the insane radical woman would go after two active duty female soldiers. She is crazy and has absolutely no respect for the military or human life. I wish her and her son the worst for the remainder of her life. Us gays need to stop talking about love and start fighting back. Love will do nothing but follow us all to the gallows.
flexdoc
Billysees you’re joking right? Do you really want to show everyone that they can get away with this kind of behavior? Hitting a pregnant woman? She is guilty a assault and battery. Clearly. She deserves whatever punishment is usual for that kind of thing. Hopefully its jail time. Or is it ok with you because they are black?
MickeyP.
eliasadc are you kidding? They’re service woman who are serving our country and
they did nothing to start this problem! They were attacked by the moron mother/son idiots
because they are lesbians! Where does anyone have the right to discriminate against them
for being black AND/OR lesbian? People,like you,need to wake up and realize that,black,white, gay or straight,etc. have just as many rights as anyone! Grow up!
fireman452
I think their response was deleted because it was vulgar and because it was totally idiotic, showed a total lack of ANY social graces and an IQ of Oklahoma or Nebraska. I had a 3rd grade teacher from Oklahoma refer to the town hall in Oklahoma City, she proudly pointed to it and said “We built it on an Indian Mound”. When I frowned at this she said “ Oh I’m sorry honey I mean “Native Americans” I guess we gotta call em that now”. And this individual the folks in Oklahoma are PROUD to call a 3rd grade TEACHER!! Unbelievable!!!
rockland2u
i am usually the first one to say the race card gets played too quickly sometimes, but that woman made it very clear, she expected those women to wait/or go AFTER her, and the black and lesbian comments pretty much cleared up any doubt. this was entitlement, if it wasn’t race or orientation it would have been something else, but that was a ME ME ME moment, and you never have the right to touch someone in an aggressive manner, even more disturbing was the video of her outside speaking with police claiming that her and her son were attacked by several black men, and were simply defending themselves, are you kidding me? they dont think there are camera’s and witnesses? i will give it to that racist, homophobic old lady, she charged those women with no fear, (serious anger management issue) she definetly needs a “time out”
Trekbike
You got it exactly right brother. Enough of the love in and a hell of a lot more fighting back. We can’t sit by and let discrimination against anyone go by with love in our hearts any longer. If we don’t start fighting back we’re destined to lose. We must think about those that will follow in our footsteps.

Eliasadc where in the hell did you get they stole their parking place anywhere in the article??? I quote, “The attack happened on Saturday night at a Cheddars in Macon, Georgia. It all started when 72-year-old Judy Tucker and her homophobic son tried pulling into a handicapped spot in the parking lot, but soldiers Treasure Sharpe and Stephanie Mitchell got in their way.
Tucker (who, for the record, is not handicapped) parked elsewhere then went into the restaurant, where she became enraged with the two soldiers.”. It neve said they took their space, gig in their way….of taking an illegal handicapped parking place at that!!! They DID NOTHING to start the problem.
I am glad this woman got just what she deserved and did not get away with her hate!

Queerty’s highlighting because this racist homophobic white woman attacked two US soldiers who are serving this country and defending her right to be racist and homophobic. She is now suffering the consequences of her hateful behavior. It seems like an interesting enough story to me.
Jim33702
If you look at the pictures the daughter hits one of the military woman. She should of been arrested also, along with her brother. Great parenting mother.

Trump supporters emboldened these days to show their ignorance.

This ahole woman and her kids derserve every bad thing they get. There is no excuse for that behavior, only to prove they are racist homophobic assholes.
mc4bbs
During a Trump presidency, all resistance and victories are “breaking news” and are needed.
Many of my friends have given up and some are back in the closet for fear Trump and his people will try to come after us.
We need all the good news we can get these days…
baal61
As she should.
Dorset Lad
I don’t wish ill of anybody but I hope that she will take this as a learning point. It’s sad that the hate she carries in her heart she has passed to her son. Her opinions are from another age and the majority of society now view her, her son and the hate they carry as abhorrent. Maybe she and her son should think about having an open mind and just being a bit nicer in future
agora17
I wish you were correct; however, the very fact that Trump was elected by people like the Tuckers would indicate that something much more sinister is happening in this country. They are emboldened to believe that their behavior is acceptable because times are changing back to a more racist, homophobic and xenophobic U.S. All minorities are endangered and we must speak out whenever we see such vile behavior as exemplified by the Tuckers.

It’s good for the old bat, They need to press charges on the old racist bag of bones
CELKEE
She definitely deserved what she got.
Onecaddy13
I cannot believe the comments. Why is it everytime something happens like this, you are fast to blame President Trump. I am a palled at this woman’s behavior, she is much much too old to be acting in this manner. I think they should’ve put her son in jail also for touching the woman. No one should lay a hand on another person, let alone invade their private space. The comment by Trekbike was so idiotic, I had to respond. The world we live in and the actions of every individual you cannot blame on Trump. The president did not tell this woman, who I think would have a bit of sense, along with her son, I believe that they should’ve been put in jail for their physical abuse. Comments made by Trekbike and others tells you what kind of divisive world we live in… I’m ashamed of all involved.??
PinkoOfTheGange
So why is TrekBike wrong?
Doug
I disagree. This kind of behavior (not only homophobia, but hate crimes and racism) has increased since Trump took office, and that’s reported in the news almost every day. Conservatives seem to feel that now that the Republican Party is in power, they can freely act out their anger against any “liberal” causes they choose. Trump has done more than his share of fostering that. You can’t seriously think that a man who has made comment after comment belittling Hispanics, Puerto Rican’s, as well as showing a total insensitivity to African American (“The blacks love me!”) issues doesn’t have an influence on those people who support him.
batesmotel
It doesn’t have anything to do with Trump. Those that keep bringing him up tend to have obsessive compulsive thoughts about him every second of every day. You could be talking about the weather and they somehow make some bizarre off topic statement with the word Trump in it. They need medication. That’s not trying to be funny, they really do. They’re “off” and unbalanced and unhinged. Besides this woman is a registered Democrat strangely enough. She’s not a Trump supporter.
rappold93
@batesmotel how do you know that she’s a registered democrat?
greatdane813
When was it confirmed (not really needed, though) that the soldiers aren’t just friends or co-workers? They’re lesbians just because that toad called them that?
silveroracle

I think I understand what I’m seeing in the video clip inside the restaurant, but, for a complete understanding of what was going on, I would sure like to see the security video from the parking lot before they all came inside.
glennmcbride
Could you repeat that please? I didn’t get it the first three times you left the same reply.
Snicky
What an unbelievable mess! This is what it has come to AGAIN? As a society as a whole entirety too much ignorance, ill-manners, and just plain stupidity is tolerated and condoned. Sadly some times it is rewarded. We all need to care more and hate less. Smdh

I have relatives from Florida (the ‘south’ in general), and it wouldn’t hurt me if every one of them were banished to another planet. Uneducated trailer trash, every one of them! I hope the military ladies sue the genitals off these vermin, female and male both!

Wrong. I’m educated trailer trash.

My prediction is The Deplorables will soon classify her as the real victim here and she’ll run for public office.
mhoffman953
I keep seeing all of these comments claiming Judy Tucker is a “Trump supporter” and that this is “Trump’s America” and that we should “blame Trump voters”, yet I couldn’t find any proof that she is an actual Trump supporter – not that her political beliefs should be a reason to blame others for something she did. That’s on her and her alone.
It does seem odd that an art teacher at a liberal college would be a Trump voter. Thus, I began Googling and searching everywhere for proof of her political leanings. Apparently her Facebook was removed, so that was no help. I could’ve done a paid background check, but I’m not paying for that.
So, I looked further and further and found that she’s actually a registered Democrat https://web.archive.org/web/20180419072012/https://www.mylife.com/judy-tucker/e831773281818
Plus, Macon county, where Judy is from, overwhelmingly went to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
mhoffman953
I also found another source that verifies she’s a member of the Democratic party, but I won’t post it because it lists her home address for the voter registration records in Georgia. It is the same Judy Tucker and she registered as recently as 4-26-17
DCguy
Except Judy Tucker doesn’t show up on the Wayback machine search. So just a hint, if you’re going to doctor a fake webpage, you may want to not pick a site with such an easy search feature.
mhoffman953
@DCguy
“Except Judy Tucker doesn’t show up on the Wayback machine search. So just a hint, if you’re going to doctor a fake webpage, you may want to not pick a site with such an easy search feature.”
Doctor a fake webpage? You are aware that the Wayback machine is an archiving tool like Archive.is and not a search engine, right? It’s used to archive a website before it is removed. The full source website is in the link.
If you dispute what I have found, post your proof that she’s not a member of the Democratic party.
mhoffman953
Doctored how though? It’s data gathered from her MyLife profile. You seem to be afraid to accept facts
And don’t call me sweetie. I wouldn’t date you or hook up with you.
James
waste of time trying to defend trump. get lost.
RabidBadger
It’s clearly a faked page because it says her voter registration is “Democrat Party”. That’s not the name of a United States political party. Voter registration is a legal document and would use correct legal names for organizations and political parties. If a person were a registered Democrat they would be listed as belonging to the Democratic Party.
Next time, try harder.
Brawny71
Kim Davis was a Democrat also.
Endeavour
There are plenty of racists, homophobes, xenophobes, and assorted other creepy people in the Democrat Party. They too feel emboldened to speak out and act out just like Trump supporters. There is no denying that Trump and his campaign emboldened them all.
mhoffman953
@Endeavour
LOL, so even though she probably didn’t even vote for Trump being that as of 4-26-17, she’s still a registered Democrat, this is all still Trump’s fault?
You win a gold medal for mental gymnastics
DCguy
IT’s interesting how there are always new accounts that come on here to attack the very idea of exposing racism and anti-lgbt bigotry.
DCguy
She committed assault, she got arrested. Thank goodness for cell phone cameras because her family were ALREADY staring to try to set down the lie that the two soldiers had attacked THEM.
Billysees
Perhaps I got a bit carried away with that ‘forgiveness stuff’ considering what happened and what was described in the article. Forgiveness does have a meaningful place in the world.
Trekbike,
I read your comment (@billysees) and will agree with you on the following —
I hope the law throws that radical woman in jail, naked, filled with sex hungry lesbians.
flexdoc makes a good point worthy to be repeated again here —
flexdoc
Billysees you’re joking right? Do you really want to show everyone that they can get away with this kind of behavior? Hitting a pregnant woman? She is guilty a assault and battery. Clearly. She deserves whatever punishment is usual for that kind of thing. Hopefully its jail time. Or is it ok with you because they are black?
James
bcbreeze, your homophobia is not welcome here.
Mpo2411
Sooooo. Ok. This will probably get me blasted by some people, but read it thru before you judge.
**Disclaimer** I do believe this woman was in the wrong and deserves to be held accountable for her actions. I also hold the same belief in regards to her son(?). I reserve judgement on the reported events and am relying on the video footage provided as I write this comment.
Watching I have to be honest, I don’t see ” woman-launched-homophobic-attack-two-soldiers”. What I see is a snapshot of the state of decay of society: an argument over a parking space, which then escalated into a physical attack because the old woman saw she was being filmed. Who hasn’t gotten mad when a parking space gets snatched. You bitch, you park somewhere else. You go about the rest of your day, probably in a bad mood. While her anger could be understood (assuming her husband is indeed really handicap and was even with her at the time) it was overboard and there was no excuse for her actions.
Now let’s look at her actions. She followed them in and confronted them in an overly aggressive manner, then, when she saw she was being recorded, she flipped out and it looks less like a slap and more like she tried to grab the phone, not that either scenario is acceptable.
I wasn’t there, and don’t know what came before or after, but I didn’t hear and racial or homophobic statements from her, only that they got in her way parking and she’s camera shy. Again, I can only go by the video clip. I also didn’t hear her mention her political or religious affiliations. She was not crying out “Heil Trump” or “Burn in Hell” as she attacked… that I know of.
Her biggest crime was spawning that disgusting lump of moronic pig feces she apparently calls her son. He did make at least one homophobic slur recorded on video, and he also physically went after the pregnant woman.
The scary parts here:
-the rage the woman felt over a parking spot and how her anger flowed thru and invited her children.
-the fact that she and her family had no regard for the military standing of the two women or the pregnancy of the one displaying almost predatory pack behavior
-the speed in which the altercation nearly became a mob riot
-And the scariest part… While she and her daughter were acting with unwarranted anger, her son was Having Fun. There was a happy tone in his voice, a hint of glee in his eye, like a cruel child with a pet he was planning to torture.
Again, I didn’t see the homophobic or racist aspects, but I wasn’t there and didn’t see everything.
I didn’t see politics or religious beliefs.
I saw humanity unhinged, so quick to rage over something stupid.
I see media and people skewing facts to fit agendas.
And I saw a future sex-crime offender/serial killer.

Edit note.
Third paragraph of previous statement should read “bad mood” not “bad moid”
My bad.

Minyassa
This is as close to heartwarming news as I see these days, someone actually suffering the consequences of her bad behavior. I have not one shred of sympathy for her, she chose this. I hope she gets jail time. We need examples.
KorexEileithyia
Why wasn’t the son arrested and charged? Why was she let out?? How fast can the other charges be brought against her and how serious can they be made?!!
I don’t care if those girls were purple with green stripes! They are BOTH military and one is pregnant!! To sit there and treat someone that defends their right to be complete shitholes doesn’t mean that they get to be like that and put people in danger!! It doesn’t give anyone the right to be like that. 72 is a great age to go to jail and learn first hand what happens when you endanger an innocent life!!! Hope your son gets jail time too and you both learn the joys of incarceration!!!

Didn’t this happen o a year or more ago? Pretty sure this is a repost.
