(GROAN) Frank Stallone picks on a kid nearly killed in the Florida shooting

Not kidding. When I saw "Frank Stallone" trending on Twitter, I thought, "what, he died?"

Just his reputation among people who don't use words like "Libtard" and "Snowflake" while debating.

It turns out Frank Stallone, in the tradition of other Republican nitwit has-beens (Scott Baio....) decided to make points and get some attention by appealing to the Trump Bunch. Like so:

The only thing amusing about this, was the number of Tweets that asked, "WHO IS FRANK STALLONE?"

Yeah, the last name is familiar, but what, if anything, did FRANK STALLONE ever do, that would make him a celebrity to follow and care anything about?

And then I remembered...when I was editing the international (we were big in Australia!) rock magazine ROCKET, Frank was fresh off a cameo part in "Rocky" and was fronting a group called VALENTINE.

For some reason, I interviewed him. I was not impressed. The album wasn't good at all. I liked the t-shirt better. At least you could wear it on February 14th. It was simply a black cotton shirt with VALENTINE across the chest.

One of the pix I took of Frank was quite unflattering so...I used it. Let's remember that rock mags were supposed to be snotty. If not snarky. Gabba gabba HEY. One of the rival magazines, CIRCUS, divided their rock record reviews. GOOD reviews had a HEART symbol next to them. Bad ones had a BOOT. While ROCKET didn't have a lot of smartass attitude, SOME was required in order to present that "hipster" know-it-all image.

As it turns out, considering Frank's comment on a kid still in shock over nearly being killed by a classmate, what I wrote on HIM is NOTHING compared to the ignorant and unfeeling Tweet on the kid. Some Tweeters were quick to point out how "cowardly" Frank was for suddenly shutting off his social media account and going into hiding. Others thought it was rather peculiar that Frank once sued a gun store because he injured his finger while a gun was being tested. Hey, GUN SAFETY is for WIMPS.

Here's my photo and caption way back when. NO REGRETS:

Update: April Fool's Day indeed.

Since Twitter lit up with people raging about Rocky's brother, and the (you know, Libtard "fake news") media getting behind it, Frank apologized.

Funny, not, that people who intentionally right the most obnoxious, baiting, deliberately mean TWEETS, suddenly have a pang of conscience when they get a kick in the nuts instead of a slap in the back.

You can bet if Stallone got called a "patriot" by Trump, he would've Tweeted an assured, "Yes, and I meant every word."

PS, "want" doesn't belong in the sentence. What do you mean, you "want to" apologize? Just say "I APOLOGIZE." Unless you're really saying, "I'm forced to." That's what "I want to" really is.

Frank was so sure of himself, that when he shielded his Twitter account, he admitted he did it because he was NOT sorry for what he wrote, but that he just didn't want to read a lot of guff:
