Film producer Jack Morrissey apologized Monday for a tweet envisioning the Covington Catholic High School students who were involved in a media firestorm over the weekend going into a woodchipper.
“#MAGAkids go screaming, hats first, into the woodchipper,” Mr. Morrissey, whose credits include Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” and films in the “Twilight” franchise, tweeted Monday.
Mr. Morrissey, who has since set his Twitter account to private, told The Wrap that he now finds his comments “profoundly stupid.”
The tweet is, of course, long gone but Sarah Palin screencapped it. WARNING: the gutless son of a bitch posted one of the sickest images I've ever seen so click on that link at your own risk.
This is not an apology; this is nowhere near an apology. How do I know that? Because it has "I'm sorry I offended people" written all over it. And because it was directed to the entire country.
The bastard didn't wish for my gruesome death; he wished for the gruesome deaths of a bunch of high school kids. He didn't say something to the effect that he was horrified that he had ever entertained such evil thoughts and he was going to shut down his Twitter account and think about his life for a very long time.
I'll think Morrisey is sincerely sorry for what he wrote only when he travels to Covington and apologizes to some of these kids to their faces. And if they spit in his face and tell him to go to Hell, he does not reply but silently turns and walks away.
Not before.

So many people got on Twitter and said truly, truly disgusting things about these kids. How many of them will learn a lesson and refrain in the future? Very few, I'd guess.
"Fools names, like their faces, often appear in public places". was one of the aphorisms that I grew up with.
Time was when that applied only to the bench at the bus stop. But, now we have the Internet.
You don't suppose it's the Internet that Revelation is really going on about, do you?
It's as good a candidate as we have right now.
