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.

You dumb Hillbillies in Kentucky or Idaho (wherever the hell you are from) just don't get good ruling elite satire.
Apology not accepted. Go die in a fire, Jack.
No liberals were fired or even penalized, for the creation of this offense.
Disgusting bully.
I can’t wait to crap all over your next movie Jack.
Give him the Roseanne treatment.
“I would throw my phone into the ocean”
And you with it, jackie.
Then again we do shoot real straight.
Tell it to the prosecutor Jack(ass). http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3722082/posts
Well... oddly enough, Disney theme parks are notorious for firing people who fail to SMIRK.
“I have no issue whatsoever with taking responsibility,”
Good. Prepare. Call your attorney.
Hollywood stereotype.
That was a dreadfully sick and ghoulish thing to post.
Maybe someone at Disney had a tiny spark of conscience and realized how any normal person would see this post.
Maybe he apologized to keep the movie producer jobs coming his way. I don’t believe he is apologizing to anyone conservative, and I don’t really care. We already know who and what he is.
He’s sorry he got caught.
Fargo was a good flick.
So Moana voted for Hillary?
Elsa and Anna were waiting for the EU?
Minnie is speaking out on #metoo?
And Mickey is all about “BlackMiceMatter?
Good to know.
Liberals pound folks into oblivion ( ie Roseanne) even when they say they’re sorry.
Why should this guy get a break?
His tweet was a thousand times worse than hers.
How is this not worse than anything Alex Jones ever did, and he was deplatformed by the media?
Yes to all of the above Yaelle my dear.
Lovely person. Typical liberal.
We don’t accept your apology, Saddam.
