Woman, 77, Hurled Whopper, Racial Slurs

Woman lobbed a hamburger at a cashier and went on racial tirade because she was dissatisfied with the thickness of a tomato slice.

Quote:

When police later questioned Black about the Burger King incident, she reportedly admitted striking the worker with the Whopper, explaining that she was "upset about the thickness of the tomato on her sandwich and confronted the victim at the counter." Cops say Black also admitted that she called the employee a “stupid black bitch” and a "black ******," and declared, "**** you black *******." Witness interviews and store surveillance footage corroborated the employee’s account of her interaction with Black, as well as the customer's use of racial slurs, according to a Wildwood Police Department report. Normally, a hamburger attack would result in the alleged assailant being charged with misdemeanor battery. But since Black allegedly used racial slurs, the battery count was reclassified as a felony. Florida statutes allow for such an enhancement if the defendant evidences prejudice while committing an offense.
