The Florida retiree who hurled a Whopper and racial slurs at a Burger King employee in a rage over the thickness of a tomato on her sandwich has been sentenced to probation following a plea to battery, court records show.
Judith Black, 78, entered a no contest plea to the misdemeanor charge during an appearance Tuesday in a county courthouse near her home in The Villages, the vast Florida retirement community. Black was sentenced to 12 months probation, fined $785, and ordered to attend anger management classes. Judge Paul Militello also barred Black from returning to the Burger King where the battery occurred, and ordered her to have no contact with the worker she attacked.
As recounted in an arrest affidavit, Blacks 6 PM outburst stemmed from her dismay about the thickness of the tomato on her sandwich. Black, investigators reported, brought her complaint to the restaurants front counter, where she began yelling at Tapraisha Brown, a 23-year-old Burger King employee. Brown told cops that she advised Black that unless she calmed down her tomato issue would not be addressed.
When Brown turned her back, Black threw her Whopper, striking the worker below the neck. Black then told the worker, Shut up you black bitch and spewed a series of racial slurs. When police later questioned Black at her residence, she confessed to the ballistic behavior, saying that she was angry that the victim was not fixing the issue, according to the affidavit. Cops reported that Black also admitted to calling the worker a stupid black bitch and a "black ni**er," and declaring, "fuck you black ni**ers."

(21,573 posts)My ex's sister-in-law retired there. She is from an all white small town in central PA and has been a racist all her life. During the civil rights movement of the 1960s she researched emigrating to Australia because she heard that they did not accept immigrants of African descent. Changed her mind when she learned about Australia's aboriginal population.
She was a first grade teacher and did not like having Black kids in her classroom. Said she never encountered a Black person until she accepted a teaching job in the city. She was looking into a new profession where she thought she would be happier. I told her she should do it because her students would be happier, too.

You know this was not the first time she has treated people who handle her food that way.

(42,372 posts)stores, restaurants and fast-food places are Black students and adults from nearby Wildwood and other poor communities around the place - and there are loads of commercial establishments there.
Anytime I'm over there (I live about 30 miles SW), I wonder how these Black workers are being treated by these RWNJs.
Kudos to Ms. Brown for standing up for herself. That lunatic should be in a psych ward somewhere.
