Uhhhh NO.
The rules are the rules, mate.
All I did was turn on the flashlight.

When you decide to expand the argument to irrelevancies to the subject at hand, you are moving the goalposts just to make the driver look crooked. Its a crappy tactic.

Polls don't work, since the makers are outnumbered. Direct action or inaction, within the strictest and narrowest limits of the law least someone gets their panties in a bunch, is a good strategy with a long history in the US. Cathartic too.

And sure, she does have the same rights and priveleges, as does the tow truck driver. He exercised his. By your expletives, I assume you don't like him exercising his rights, and expect him to step and fetch contrary to his beliefs. Good luck with that. Perhaps a few more expletives will give catharsis, as is your right. Everyone wins, everyone is happy.

What a ****ing minute. You may want Bernie Sanders to die burning to death in a car crash because you disagree with his politics. BUT THIS IS ****ING AMERICA. I don't give a **** what you believe or who you vote for. That's your right, your privilege HERE IN AMERICA. If I don't like how you believe and I can counter it at the voting booth - then I will. So the lady who called a tow truck has the same rights and privileges to believe as she wants to in the UNITED ****ING STATES OF AMERICA. She wasn't asking for a hand-out. She had to pay the guy. So **** him for being a low-life asshole. He needs to be happy as **** that he can take his grievances to the polls just like everybody else.

Please forgive me, I guess I should have said voting polls or voting booths...or whatever you want to call a place where persons go to vote.

My very last sentence of my post works for me...as does it for you, the tow truck driver, and those who believe as you guys do.

The tow guy is a bona fide idiot with a dash of bigotry. Denying people services and products because of political affiliation or support for political candidates ISN'T what this country is about. And f this is what our country has now been reduced to over a political ideology - then we're in serious trouble. What you and those who support this two truck guy really believes is that ideological purity is the answer to all your prayers. And to achieve that by shutting off people from access of goods and services that the general public has always had - for who don't politically believe as you do - it's just not gonna happen.

My expletives weren't for cathartic effect. They were flags for those who can't seem to understand that in America people have the right to different political view without been publically or privately condemned in ways that they are totally beyond the principles upon which our REPUBLIC is mean to be. It just not ****ING acceptable.

I personally don't know what the legal options are for the lady, but if there are any, I'll be happy to contribute to her legal expenses.

Why do you want more people to be assholes? What is your reasoning behind encouraging people to be assholes? If everyone treated strangers ****ty based on personal prejudices and preconceived notions, what kind of society would we be? That's where you want to live?

No, we don't want all those people acting like liberals.

Why are people placing their own political beliefs above being a decent human being to other people?

Re: Why a Trump-backing tow truck driver says he refused service to a Sanders support

He stated that, yes.
He stated that to HER.
Her LAWYER, however, should she engage one, will bypass that entirely.
You DO realize that, right?
HIS LAWYER will also strongly recommend that HE skip that nonsense entirely as well.
I do not think I need to explain why.

Now, what evidence was that you were referring to?
Hearsay? All I see is a disabled placard, that is the only tangible evidence IN this case.
Something he mumbled, either to himself or to her, with no recording to prove in or against his favor, is irrelevant.

A lot of people are going to try to argue religious freedom and they will fall flat on their face.

Someone being disabled doesn't mean that is the reason for them being denied service.
Both parties have stated the reason was because she is a Sanders supporter.

I see nothing wrong with a capitalist being bigoted towards someone that wants to destroy their way of life. Also, the so called right you just went over doesn't exist and shouldn't exist as it would violate the right to association.

Do you not understand how putting your own personal political beliefs above being a decent human being, actually justifies the other side painting you with the generalization of being awful human beings?

Not saying that's a good thing; generalizations are not a good thing. But taking this position is only hurting your argument, not helping it.

Re: Why a Trump-backing tow truck driver says he refused service to a Sanders support

It will also be interesting to find out if Ken even meets the criteria described in Article 7, Section B, Paragraph 2.
The photos of his truck don't show any of that information.

That has nothing to do with the case. Are you just looking for a way to nail him with something? You know, the same ****ing thing liberals always do. You want to know one of the reasons people are pissed off at liberals? Well, it's because of stupid **** like this.

Oh so they get the courtesy of foresight to justify treating people like **** to begin with? Maybe not denigrate people who were leaving you alone before you started trashing them.

This is not a Civil War, Henrin. This is just being a decent person to others. Political opinions should not hinder or prevent one form being a decent person.

Not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that you are only helping their generalization. And I'm not saying they should be treating you like **** either; no one should be treating people like **** because they have differing political opinions.

And what are you talking about? Liberals and conservatives have been denigrating each other forever now. It's not a one-sided conflict in the slightest.

The point is, people's political opinions/beliefs should not prevent one from being a decent human being to other people.

Do you honestly think this guy gave a crap before this election and all the crap Sanders supporters have thrown at ANYONE supporting Trump in the slightest way? I bet he didn't. I bet he's sick of being called everything in the book for his political viewpoint of support for a candidate. Maybe he felt like giving karma a nudge and giving someone else the idea that actions have consequences like Bernie supporters keep saying.

Re: Why a Trump-backing tow truck driver says he refused service to a Sanders support

This is not a Civil War, Henrin. This is just being a decent person to others. I don't give two ****s what their beliefs are.

The majority of the country believes in socialist ideals and economic control by government. Anyone that desires economic freedom and is opposed to socialism is forced to see them as the enemy.

That's not Karma. That's just being a asshole. And since when have two wrongs made a right?

I'm sorry are you calling someone a bigot based on political support? Because that's the only characteristic you know about the driver. You make his point quite well.

According to the article linked in the OP, the tow truck driver was stiffed on bills for towing from people who displayed a similar political belief. It would appear then, his motivation was not political, but economic, since he towed others previously who he claims were Bernie supporters.
