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 Morrisseys since-deleted tweet, which draws on a scene from the 1996 film Fargo in which a characters 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.

“Ghoulish” is the perfect word. That image is too bloody and sick to be explained away as “satire”, especially since it was aimed at teenagers. He doesn’t get to hide his deranged tweet behind the fact that Fargo had some funny scenes.
I’d like to see Palin get on Twitter and put the pressure back on this guy. She should make it clear that his apology is a joke, and as an aside she should let Disney know that it would be unwise to associate itself with him on any further project, especially anything aimed at youthful audiences.
Those pictures were very popular on Ft. Sill during the Iran hostage situation; just about everybody there had them taped on the back windows of their cars or trucks.
This is not apology stuff, this is you-are-sick-get-thee-to-a-shrink stuff.
Someone should explain how it really appears, yes, but not Sarah Palin. She has suffered enough. I don’t like seeing the left attack her like the crazed, rabid hyenas we now know them to be.
The worst part of Sarah being attacked is that so few conservatives speak up to support her. Maybe now would be different than a few years ago, but not by much. Most GOP still are not used to confrontation and fighting back.
I still hope to see her as part of this Administration, but it should be something she can be appointed to, not sent for another gauntlet of dummies trying to slap her down.
Plaintiff#1, Jack ‘the chipper’ needs to be sued into oblivion. This garbage must end.
Does this jackass work with kids?
It should be whoever on our side was most prominent in criticizing this guy. Just need someone to get “apology not accepted” out there, plus label him as a child-attacking ghoulish weirdo. My impression is Palin sort of had the spotlight with her tweet but someone else would probably work too.
If ol’ Jack apologized, it’s because he has a better method to kill them by two’s and three’s. Ain’t buying his contrition.
typical Stalinist
It is shocking to me what dark things lurk in the minds of some of these elites...
Never in a 1,000 years would I or anyone I know have such a thought as Jack Morrissey in regards to children and woodchippers.
Hollywood protects its pedophiles then leaves it victims in it’s wake. (Like that poor Corey Haim.)
Why hasn’t this deranged Disney employee Jack Morrissey spoke out against that?!
Waiting for the Disney Corporation’s comments on this employee’s public threats to children.
These leftists are really sick people consumed with hate and tds.
He only apologized to keep his job with Disney.
The media & co have 36 hours left to apologize to avoid a lawsuit. Tick, tick, tick....
