Never underestimate the power of Twitter to serve justice to those who troll greatness. Piers Morgan may have learned a lesson (or perhaps not) after he decided to stomp all over the mourning process after Muhammad Ali\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Morgan is a bit of an addict when it comes to Twitter, and he\u2019s even more adept at trolling the masses. Some may even call him a professional troll. Here\u2019s how he played this game on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Morgan can usually be counted upon to stir the pot on matters of race, as he recently did with Nicki Minaj and Beyonce. He seems to crave this attention, which is bizarre for a man who\u2019s already been handsomely rewarded with his own enduring media career. And yet he continues to draw attention to himself while putting other people\u2019s legacies down. As was to be expected, Twitter responded sharply to Morgan\u2019s trolling.<\/p>\n

It’s almost amazing that he’s figured out how to flawlessly make a jackass of himself in 140 characters or less.<\/p>\n

Being of such mediocre talent and intellect, he is demonstrable proof of the privilege he denies.<\/p>\n

Piers was not deterred. He called out his detractors while refusing to accept that they may be correct.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Oh, and this happened too, after Morgan expressed a desire to not be remembered sweetly after his own death.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Well, Morgan has once again succeeded, and he\u2019s probably already forgotten and moved on to his next target. Actually, some babies on a plane have heard the public\u2019s pleas and served up some instant justice themselves.<\/div>\n
