Patton Oswalt: Twitter troll who attacked comedian overwhelmed when literally repaid with kindness

Discovering his assailant was battling grave health problems, he donated $2,000 towards his unpaid medical bills – then urged his 4.5 million followers to follow suit. The heartwarming exchange between Oswalt, an Emmy Award winner, and Michael Beatty - a 64-year-old Vietnam veteran from Huntsville, Alabama - was sparked on Thursday after the celebrity posted an unflattering poem about Donald Trump. “I expected a scathing retort or just to be ignored,” Mr Beatty told the Washington Post on Friday.
