If one is going to be a racist fuck stick in public better be ready to deal with the consequences. This guy found that out the hard way.

It appears his name is actually Ronnie. But she called him Rodney several times.

Moments later, Rummels Facebook commenters clarified the mans full name is Ronnie Horner Jr.
According to a Redditor who claimed to know Rummel personally, Horner was fired from his job the following day.
Rodney has since lost his job as a bartender at a casino, btw

The largest casino in the area is WinStar World Casino and Resort, which is, ironically, owned by the Chickasaw Nation. No wonder he lost his job.
