This guy is either certiably crazy, or simply a liar.

At best, he's nuts.
"Gawd told me to scram!"

At worst, he's a lying redneck.

Tow Truck Driver Says God Told Him To Leave a Disabled Woman Stranded Due to Her Bumper Sticker

by Terry Firma

When Ken Shupe of Shupee Max Towing in South Carolina came upon the customer who had arranged to have him tow her stranded car, he suddenly felt the presence of God. And lo, God told him to leave the scene without helping the woman, because, Shupe says, her car sported a Bernie Sanders sticker.

"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."

God is an asshole. There is a good argument to be made given how many people seem to be getting punked by the almighty these days. Being omniscient and omnipotent you run out of constructive things to do after a few millennia and you start fucking with tow truck drivers... and Glen Beck

His cousin Mary Lou needed purifying in the crucible of his loins "I felt like I'd taken what God wanted me to have". Ffs, assholes like this are why I cheer when I hear sone dumbshit knocked off his uncle daddy and aunt Grammy before sending himself to the lord.

it'll hurt him in the only conceivable place that would cause him to rethink his position -- his pocketbook.

I hope he loses a lot of business over this. I wouldn't bother calling someone like this if I knew my sticker was going to keep me from getting tow truck assistance, why bother calling?

I also find it hard to believe that was the first Bernie sticker he saw on a customers vehicle. So lying is almost a given.
