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."

The driver, Cassie McWade, 25, has psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and early-stage Crohns, which she said made sitting on the side of the road without a restroom nearby was "terrifying." She is legally disabled and says the handicapped placard was hanging on her mirror when Shupe arrived.

She also says the family mechanic informed Shupe that she was disabled.

After waiting more than an hour and a half, McWade was towed by another company.

How despicable!

1. See what happens when you give a tiny bit of inaccurate information to a moron?

2. Note to driver...

That wasn't God speaking to you....it was your own spiteful, despicable excuse for a soul.

7. People have been using God or gods to excuse their own bad behavior ever since gods were created.

3. What a complete jerk.

4. Here is the "hero" in question

Standing by his truck....

5. Prominent in the foreground, a shovel.

How appropriate.

6. Why does it always seem to be my home state of NC?

Making the news for all the wrong reasons, backwards reasons these days? Ugh.

The lord told him not to help a disabled woman broken down on the side of the interstate?

11. I'm just glad it wasn't Florida for once.

14. The accident was in NC; the tow truck driver is from Traveler's Rest, SC

I hope the son of a bitch gets a lot of crank calls dispatching him for tow jobs to locations where there is nobody to tow.

15. He read it in the Gospel according to Drumpf

Just a paragraph before "Two Corinthians..."

Or, more likely, someone had to read it to him.

[obamanut2012]

18. He is actually from SC

[TimPlo]

20. Yea one would think that SC would be more like this.

But as conservative as SC is they have not been near as bad as NC in the bullshit. It is just idiots in charge. Haley for a GOP seems a tiny bit sane.

Ha I re read the thing and it seems I was wrong. Bullshit was SC. My bad.

12. What a piece of work

9. Anyone know if this applies?

ARTICLE 7.
HIGHWAY PATROL
SUBARTICLE 1.

10. I think someone is gonna lose their license

Probably have to go on welfare in order to keep his shiny new truck.

[aidbo]

13. Think he'll try to use a religious liberty argument? Like some bakers do with gay couples?

I wouldn't put it past him.

[thesquanderer]

16. Someone should send him a "what would Jesus do" bumper sticker.

Hint, he didn't do it.

[aidbo]

22. He probably thinks the parable of the Good Samaratin is a warning against travelling alone.

[Amaril]

17. I doubt they'll lose their business license, but

it could -- unless the local PD is populated by like-minded individuals -- possibly cost them their spot on the call rotation list. Guys like that (he appears to be an owner / operator since the company bears his name) depend on rotation calls to survive.

Maybe God will intervene on his behalf with the PD.

19. I'm not advocating violence...

...but I can't say I'd be all that upset if that shitheel got his ass kicked up around his ears.

21. FFS!

That poor woman.
