A 71-year-old woman was arrested after she got into a physical argument with two black female military service members, including one who is pregnant, over a parking spot at a Georgia restaurant.
Judy Tucker was caught on video lunging at 34-year-old Stephanie Mitchell and 27-year-old Treasure Sharpe at Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen in Macon on Saturday.
“You were getting in our way while we tried to park,” Tucker can be heard telling the women.
She then tried to block Sharpe’s cell phone while she recorded the encounter.
“Don’t you take a picture of me!” Tucker shouted. “You don’t have the right to take a picture of me!”
Mitchell stood in front of Sharpe before Tucker struck Sharpe in the face, according to an incident report obtained by The Telegraph.
“I’m pregnant! Look at me, I’m pregnant!” Sharpe says on camera. “You’re pushing a pregnant lady!”
“Well, my husband is handicapped!” Tucker, who was with her son and daughter, replied.
If the husband wasn’t with them then the woman is a total loser. I don’t like people who abuse the handicap placard. But that’s a sidebar, and I don’t know the facts.
Why was this family giving such a hard time to people in the military? Yes, people in uniform can do stupid things, but going berserk on two captains over something this petty is not really too wise.
In the court of public opinion, not knowing all the facts, I side with our military members on this one.
Having said that, the left is making hay of this and regurgitating the usual “Trump’s America” tripe, as if this couldn’t have happened if Hillary was president.
It’s growing tiresome.
The SJWs going after Starbucks, now, a pregnant black woman !
I canna hold it together anymore Captain, it’s coming apart at the seams.
Never attribute to racism that which can adequately explained by stupidity.
Club that bitch like a baby seal, I fucking hate real racists, no matter what age.
The real crime is they were going to Cheddars in Macon………been there.
Hmmmm…. something doesn’t smell right here. The first report is always fake news. I’ll wait for the rest of the story.
“… the left is making hay of this and regurgitating the usual “Trump’s America” tripe …”
What are the odds this (ahem) lady was a Trump voter???
More likely one of the Liberal Bilge Rats now infesting the South.
Wait for the whole story.
I have a bitter taste in my mouth about commissioned officers after seeing them be such jerks when my son was in the Navy and after working under one who thought it was cool to talk to us grown adults who are older than he like raw recruits. Complete with swearing at us. (I just smirked at him and walked away)
After seeing the racism against both of sons by the military.
My husband’s new boss is a former military officer and talks to all the people like they are idiots. Even went so far as to give them all a 1% raise after no raises for 2 yrs.
If these women were nco’s I’d probably take their side quicker.
So, I’ll wait for the whole story.
First off, to my fellow military types… STOP. Just stop. Stop wearing your fucking uniforms around in town. You make yourselves targets… for everything. Get over yourselves, I understand you are proud to serve, I was and still am. Do it again in a heartbeat.
Next thing, pregnant and in the military don’t mix. I have seen far too many guys get their shore rotation cut short because some chick decided life on a boat was too hard.
As a soldier or sailor, your job is to defend this country and maintain mission readiness. You can’t do that if your laid up. If you want to have a family then get out of the damned military, go be a civilian. It’s not just a job, it’s a way of life and a state of mind.
Old people doing stuff……

Additional notes after a replay:
We have no idea what happened in the parking lot but, this most likely started out with the old lady asking “what’s your problem?!” To which “gantsa girl” replied in a manner unbecoming of a soldier.
The not pregnant one was attempting to calm the situation where as the prego couldn’t let it go… seen too many of the second type. Sadly.
While both parties are wrong, I hold the two ladies in uniform to higher standards, therefore, they were wrong.
And this is fucking news?
They’re both wrong. If pregnant lady is deemed capable of serving while pregnant, she does not need a handicap spot. If the old lady is up for a fight she’s got enough energy to drop her ‘handicapped’ hubby off at the front door, then find a regular parking space.
It’s almost, almost, like military are just like cops.
(I used to be able to say “like cops with better kit”. But the video looks like twenty-second century America. So, well, you know.)
Until the facts float out, who cares to play the “Do You Know Who I Am?” Game?
Right now it’s a coin toss. There’s douche on both sides.
I am from and live near a city in Southeast Texas that is now 60% black. For the most part, they have been radicalized by the progressive movement to hate lily-white crackers. I always have to be on guard for those who are looking for a reason to play the race card against whites. You have to walk on eggshells every moment when interaction is necessary. I never go into this city unarmed as crime is bad and the police aren’t allowed to be aggressively effective towards those who are the problem. It was a great place to grow up back in the day, but with todays racial situation that Obama made worse, things aren’t good. The school district has become so corrupt that the city is now smaller than it was forty years ago. It has become a great place to be “FROM”.
Funny how during Obama’s presidency, perceived incidents of racism were blamed on “whites who couldn’t accept a black man in the white house”. Now racism is blamed on “a white man in the white house”.
Questions:
1. What happened leading up to the video?
2. Who was the big fat white guy who got involved?
3. Towards the end, a black guy wearing a blue shirt with maybe a police shield on the front tried to calm things down; who was he?
Darden Restaurant, which owns Cheddars released a statement:
“Such behavior flies in the face of our values and those individuals are no longer welcome in our restaurant,”
So now biz PC policy includes not just their employees but customers as well. So sick of biz assuming their moral authority supersedes anyone who doesn’t tow their PC line.
@Engelburka: “Such behavior flies in the face of our values and those individuals are no longer welcome in our restaurant”
Which individuals? The white ones? The black ones? Military people? All the bystanders who joined in?
Just remodeled the kitchen. Enjoying great meals safely at home.
After each good meal “who gonna watch da dishes” is never heard.
Hm. I would have bet good money that active service members wearing fatigues off base and off duty was forbidden.
