By now you must have heard about the deplorable assault on two female soldiers in one of whom was pregnant. The incident took place at a Cheddars restaurant in Macon Georgia. The soldiers were abused, assaulted and pushed around by a woman Judy Tucker who surprisingly is 72 years old. Even as the incident is still fresh in the minds of social media channels, it seems Tuckers actions are now inviting a backlash against her.
In the video you can see how Judy Tucker and her Homophobic son verbally assaulted and attacked the two female soldiers Treasure Sharpe and Stephanie Mitchell in the Cheddar restaurant and for the flimsiest reasons. The women was promptly arrested and taken to jail after the incident but one week since the incident and she is finally facing a backlash for her actions both from authorities, society and her job.

The mother son duo can be heard calling one of the soldiers a gay B****h. What’s weird is that the attack was absolutely unprovoked just because the soldiers were in their way and the old woman was getting impatient.

The attack didn’t just end in the restaurant queue, Tucker made sure she followed them out into the parking lot as well. Tucker seems to be provo9king herself into getting angrier by the minute where at one point she even strikes Sharpe in the face. He was heard by bystanders shouting, “Does the military allow lesbians to serve?”

By the video it clearly showed that tucker was intent on creating trouble and expressed a clearly racist and bigoted attitude towards the female soldiers. Even her son joined in the assault verbally abusing the women. The soldiers practiced as much restraint as possible which was filmed by LaKeycia Ward who caught the entire incident on video. After sharing it on social media, it went viral. But that was not the end of the episode.

Tucker screamed at Sharpe and kept on chasing and screaming at her out in the parking lot. You can even hear Sharpe shouting “I’m pregnant! Look at me, I’m pregnant!” Sharpe replies after being struck. “You’re pushing a pregnant lady!” to which the old woman’s son points to sharpes friend and say “By who?? By her? That in itself sums up the nature and social opinions of the mother son duo.

After being kicked out of the restaurant, Tucker was apprehended by police officers in the parking lot and arrested to which point she started crying. Daughter Angie lied saying that ten back men attacked them to which one of the officers said “we saw the whole thing” thankfully the incident was videotaped and served as evidence of the horrible and disgusting actions of the woman and her son. Tucker was booked into Bibbs county jail and let out on bail but her troubles did not end there.

Another comment read 'Thank you for showing your hate. I'm sure you will lose customers for this and your business will soon close ..... I'm glad you we're arrested for being disrespectful and also being a racist to the people who serve and provide protection for this country.'

Facebook user Sharon Zanders wrote: You restore art? Well, you're a piece of work and it seems your heart needs to be restored. You're too old to display such disgraceful behavior. I always thought with aging, comes wisdom. You blew that myth out the window. Have you been tested for maybe some type of mental disorder? It might be worth checking into. As for your son and daughter? If you don't have something that's mentally and medically going awry, I guess the apples don't fall far from the tree.”
