A woman was charged with a felony after yelling racial slurs and throwing a Whopper at a Burger King employee because her tomato was 'too thick'

A resident of a Florida retirement community angry over the thickness of a tomato was charged with a felony after she hurled racial slurs and a sandwich at a Black fast food-chain employee.

According to records from the Wildwood Florida Police Department seen by the Villages News, Judith Ann Black, 77, was dining at a Burger King in the nearby Trailwinds Village last Friday when she confronted an employee about her unsatisfactory sandwich.

According to the News, Black was angry over the thickness of the tomato slice on her Whopper, and the Burger King employee who was unnamed in the report, tried to calm Black down - but Black threw the Whopper at the employee's back.

Black then stormed out, but not before spouting several expletives including the N-word, calling the employee a "stupid Black b----," according to the police report seen by Villages News. The outlet verified this with the manager and another worker at the Trailwinds Burger King, as well as a customer who witnessed the exchange.

Wildwood police tracked Black down and booked her at the Sumter County Detention Center, but released her later on a $2,500 bond.

According to police records seen by the News, Black admitted to being "angry" that the employee was not "fixing the issue," and confirmed that she had thrown the Whopper at the Burger King worker.

The police record referenced by the Villages News also indicated that Black's use of racial slurs altered "the charge of battery from a misdemeanor of the first degree to a felony of the third degree under Florida State Statute 775.085." This statute is known as the "hate crime statute," which increases the minimum and maximum penalties that a judge could impose.

The reason it is such a big issue (its not) is The Villages is a big GOP and Ron DeSantis strong hold. He did a few speeches from there during the CCP Virus plans for Florida.
The Dems even complained he was vaccinating those over 65 specifically because large retirement communities like The Villages donate money to his campaign.

The dems are going all in to get him out. Yesterday that sleeze Crist the waffler said he is running for governor again.

Agreed this 77 year old woman has zero power over the employee.. or anyone for that matter. But “news” is about narrative so since she said a certain word it fits the media narrative that the nation and all whites are racist...
Not the reality that this is a crazy old angry hag

“Stories about employees spitting in burgers and putting other things in there don’t make national news so much.”

I’d rather eat a grocery store sandwich or go hungry than buy anything from a fast food joint. They all gross me out, even the FRevered Chick-Fil-A. But when I drive past any of them, there are always a lot of cars waiting to pay the most money for the worst food. I don’t get it.

“here are always a lot of cars waiting”

I meant, people in cars in the drive through.

Business Insider is the bluest of blue propaganda rags. Please don’t give it any consideration, or if you do, consider it with Politico, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, Washington Post, etc. NOT NEWS!

No mention of the race of the idiot fool. This is very unusual. If a White is accused, the media never fail to mention it.

Tomato Slice Thickness Matters.

Actually, the slices are much thinner than I remember from years ago...she should have thanked them (and the rest of the customers should have thrown their whoppers instead).

I don’t applaud the woman’s actions in the least, but I likely would have agreed with her sentiment. I often find the tomato slices on fast food burgers to be too think, sometimes way too thick. At home, when we have gatherings where we will make hamburgers, we always slice the tomatoes thin - someone can add as much as they like to their burger.

She should be thankful she got a tomato at all.

Make burgers at home and get the exact slice you want.

I get it, I really do.

But the “hate crime” felony is over the top.

Me, too, but not the objects fast food places call “tomatoes”.

Green, rock-hard blobs with a bit of pink and no runny juice and seeds are not tomatoes, no matter how thick you slice them.

Apologies, my attempt at humor failed.
