Film producer Jack Morrissey apologized on Monday for a social media post envisioning the bloody outcome of Covington Catholic High School students being put into a woodchipper.
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin captured and shared Morrissey’s since-deleted tweet, which draws on a scene from the 1996 film Fargo in which a character’s corpse is fed through a woodchipper:
....
Morrissey told the Wrap via statement:
It was something that I did not give any thought to. It was just a fast, profoundly stupid tweet. … I would throw my phone into the ocean before doing that again.
Yesterday I tweeted an image based on FARGO that was meant to be satirical — as always — but I see now that it was in bad taste I offended many people — My sincerest apologies. I would never sincerely suggest violence against others, especially kids. Lesson learned.
I have no issue whatsoever with taking responsibility, but also completely apologizing that I clearly intended it to be seen as satire. That was clearly not recorded that way by many who saw it.

Living well will be the best revenge. :)
If you're truly sorry, next time something like this happens, staple your lips together.
“ I would never sincerely suggest violence against others, especially kids.”
But you did exactly that. Get ready to blow the dust off your checkbook, ***hole.

Amazing this guy still has a job....well, not really...
Apology should not be accepted. He should be ruined. He won’t suffer any consequences.
Is this a new feature at The Wilderness Lodge?
Grinding up children?
It’s The Happiest Place On Earth if chopping up children makes you happy.
How very 2019 that this jackass thinks throwing his beloved phone in the ocean would be some sort of dire atonement.
Smartphones have created a country of incredibly stupid people.
I’ve got news for everyone: You don’t need Disney and neither do your kids! To hell with them. You and your children deserve better. You can start with the Peace of the Sabbath, sit together over a holy meal and teach the Love of G-d to your Children. Let the reprobates at Disney go their way; the End of their journey will not be a good one.
I don't even get the bad ruling elite satire. I do not believe that it is satire unless it doesn't get thr reaction they wanted. Or they get caught.
I agree.
“Daddy, why does Disney want to butcher me?”
“Because of our hats.”
He can apologize in the Japanese fashion.
Anything else is unacceptable.
Wow, this guy is literally soiling his pants. This isn’t an apology....he heard that some of the boys’ parents have sought attorneys and he can’t back peddle fast enough!!!
He thinks we're stupid.
The idiot congressman Yarmuth called for a “total and complete shutdown of teenagers wearing MAGA hats until we can figure out what is going on. They seem to be poisoning young minds.”, then said he was only joking when evidence that the kids were innocent became available.
The “I was only joking” defense didn’t work for Roseanne, and she lost her show over it. Wonder if anything will happen to the Disney producer or this congressman? /s
> It was something that I did not give any thought to.
Lefties feel all Trump supporters should be fed into a woodchipper. He saw a chance to publicly express his feelings about a small group of us and he did it. No thought needed.
Just like next time he feels it’s safe to express his feelings about another group of us. Apologies are meaningless - take the time to learn what we base our ideas on and if he still disagrees then accept that different ideas (and speech) are allowed. But that’s the real problem - he doesn’t think different ideas should be allowed and they certainly should not be allowed to decide elections.
Sue his ass into oblivion.
He has a sick idea of satire. Is this the clown that pick some ugly actress to be Beauty in Beauty and the Beast?
