How to be a jackass

Tow truck driver refuses to tow motorist over Bernie bumper sticker

He feels proud to have finally drawn 'a line in the sand' by leaving a disabled woman alone on a busy Interstate after she was in an accident. Too bad he can't be proud of being a decent human being. And of course, he's a Trump supporter, no surprise there. Personally I think in this case it had less to do with politics than the fact the guy's just a royal jerk. He blames this woman, who had given no indication she wouldn't pay him, because (he says) two other Bernie Sanders supporters argued with him over their bill, and since all of them must be socialists and evil, so must she. Gee. What black and white thinking, so not grounded in logic. And why do people like this refuse to do their jobs by claiming God is on their side? I hope they spread this story far and wide, and people think twice about calling him for a tow. And no, I'm not upset just because I have a Sanders sticker on my car. I also have the marriage equality sticker from the Human Rights Campaign, a Read-Support Libraries licence plate, and a Doctor Who licence plate frame with a strange word, TARDIS. I wonder what he would have done to my car?
