A Beloit bar owner is apologizing after posting offensive memes on Facebook. 

Michael Fink says he thought his memes were sarcastic, satirical and humorous. "I realize now that it was in poor taste and wholeheartedly apologize for it," he continues in an apology on Facebook. 

Fink has been posting on the Mike's Roadhouse page for years but says it was only recently brought to his attention as an issue after some of his posts were shared in an international Facebook group. One of the posts said, "I like my beer like my violence: Domestic."

He says he sympathizes with victims of any type of violence and, "[N]ever meant to downplay their pain in any way."
