Patton Oswalt exercised some admirable self-awareness and restraint in the face of a heated Twitter debate with a testy Trump supporter. In this case, he took a timeout on his verbal assault, to steer his focus toward helping the man who was dealt a tough hand. In a matter of 24 minutes, Oswalt's gesture resulted in surpassing the man's GoFundMe goal. Apparently, up until that point, the man had received only $350 from donors. Patton Oswalt is GOOD PEOPLE.
