There is something a little cock-eyed about that, isn't there?

It's the ABSOLUTE opposite.. we are becoming bigger pussies, not more violent. Back in the day, someone threatened to bust your stuff, you busted their mouth, no more threatening. They threatened your girl,sister, mother etc, you busted their mouth.
There was far less rhetoric because you got your mouth busted for it. People were more civil when there was the potential for calm violence.
Now it's all about getting a mob together, or gang bull#... no one on one, fist for fist... Now it's let's burn them down...

what the hell is psychichal action, is that like from the movie scanners? Is that making their heads explode with your mind?
Did you mean physical action??? and no that is not true, you can legally take physical action against someone who threatens you in certain circumstances.
Do those apply here? Not sure, depends on state law and the specific sequence of events, etc...

wow hold on... Do NOT compare someone who does not provide a SERVICE to someone that they disagree with, with someone who threatens to destroy someone else's personal property because they don't agree with them.
If the tow truck driver had hooked up a chain to the car and flipped it around destroying it because it had a bernie sticker on it, then you might have a valid point.

I disagree, she made the call, they agreed terms, he turned up and left her in the lurch.
If that had been my wife, I'd have been waiting at his depot.
If you take on a lucrative contract like that you have a duty to fulfil your contract. She can support who the hell she likes, so can he, but a tow truck driver tows broken down vehicles. If he fails in that he deserves to lose his licence. Allowing this hit and miss rubbish endangers the whole system. How can anyone have faith in the service when operators can arbitrarily withold service?
Over and above that, he left a vulnerable person alone on the side of the road.
He wasn't a christian, he was a rat.

Hold on, it depends on whether he is an independent owner operator or not. If he is, then you can't take his license for refusing service. Now if he represents AAA or something, then they can most certainly revoke his ability to get contracts from them. He also becomes liable for damages to their credibility because of the fiduciary role he played for them which makes them liable for his actions.
Still, can't take his license for it though...lol

Actually you can defend yourself IF you think a attack is incoming. its called a pre emptive strike,and its not just for armies. If you are in fear of your life and person its legal to do so.

You actually can respond to threats so you are wrong. If he was in a different location she couldnt drive over and do it, but they were in the same room. She is legally fine, he may not be.
If I were her, as a side note, I would complain to whatever company is housing the threat- twitter or instagram or both and have the original removed and to complain about his account actions.

From what I understand, that is exactly what happened: his Twitter account was suspended because of the threats.

He should have been sent to prison, yet all they do is suspend his twitter account?...

That statement alone speaks volumes. Just throw him in prison.
So much for due process, eh?
Figures.
