Any time I see someone wearing VOL gear in a news story I just cringe, given the "passionate" nature of our fan base some folks just get up to stupid while also repping my Alma Mater and its embarrassing. In this case, though, things turned out alright in a way that is hard to believe in todays "triggered" environment. Take a read, maybe help this guy out:
Patton Oswalt Gets Into Twitter Spat With Trump Supporter – Then Helps Pay His Medical Bills
TL/DR, Twitter troll (wearing a UT hat) bad mouths an actor because actor took a shot at Trump, instead of engaging in stupid twitter feud actor does some homework, turns out the troll has a pile of medical issues. Actor takes the high road, donates large $'s to trolls go-fund-me to help cover medical expenses and encourages others to do the same. Folks pile on, $30K gets raised, troll becomes human again, mans up and owns his actions.
Todays lessons: Being a troll is stupid. Being generous inspires others. The best way to face down the ugly side of humanity is to show the beautiful side.
Edit 1/25 3:26 PM EST - his Go fund me is up to $35K.
Edit 1/26 8:38 AM EST - Gofundme is up to $42K
