LOL, how do you connect Christ to a tow truck driver lulz?
You people want big government, get them to tow you, feed you, and house you. Those that don’t believe in that crap aren’t beholden to do anything just because you spoiled brats assume they are. And leave the shaming out or better yet, shame those that you prop up first. Those that do more damage and cost more money and have zilch ethics and responsibility. Like way back when those on the dole were ashamed of it and did everything they could to get off of it.
You should be grateful that he works to pay taxes so you blowhards can have a job. You know, the old parable of the fish which he feeds himself and many of you don’t. Those that work and pay don’t have to follow your rules as it should be. Those that live off of others or want to support it shouldn’t complain. Bernie loons especially who are so ignorant to think 30 trillion in debt is nothing at all and expect the tow truck driver to fork over even more money while they themselves do nothing but take.
The towing company that refused to tow was privately owned, not part of the big igub’ment, FYI.
Gee!!? Duh?? I wonder??
WLOS — GREENVILLE, S.C. — A tow truck driver refused to a help a customer stranded on Interstate 26 in Asheville on Monday.
“Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said get in the truck and leave,” said Ken Shupe of Shupee Max Towing in Traveler’s Rest, S.C.. “And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed.”

U now stand corrected! “Understanding” allows people like me to tolerate people like you
We clearly don’t believe in or understand the same LORD! The Lord I know wouldn’t condone leaving anyone stranded; especially if it’s their FN’ JOB!

We’re not. This bigot did it himself:

Leaving a woman stranded by the side of the interstate because you don’t like her bumper sticker? You better hope the afterlife ain’t what you believe it is Mr. Shupe, because if it is, I suspect your Lord will use his Birkenstocks to kick you straight to the hot place.
You can’t pin the whole rap on the Lamb. The tow-truck man, who is a Trump backer, said in the news story that he was also afraid that a Bernie supporter might stiff him on the towing fees. Which raises another question. Isn’t weaseling out on debts more of a Trump thing?
To generalize and stigmatize BERNIE supportors as people who don’t pay their debts is INCREDIBLY IGNORANT

Yes, it is perfectly legal to deny someone service in NC for political beliefs it turns out.
Nothing bad could ever come of that.
