A San Diego-based cyber-security company CEO has been placed on administrative leave after social media posts threatening President-elect Donald Trump were reported to the U.S. Secret Service, the company statement confirmed Monday.

Twitter and Facebook accounts tied to Matthew Harrigan, the President & CEO of PacketSled, included comments threatening Trump Sunday afternoon, according to an NBC 7 source.

This jerkwad still committed a serious crime. Threatening the life of a president is against several laws. OH WAIT. He’s a liberal. Carry on.

This is an outward manifestation of absolutely terrible judgment.

What’s worse is that his profession is security. Another words, he’s supposed to know stuff like this is absolutely forbidden.

If he doesn’t, then his firm is not well grounded as it relates to security.

He needs to find employment elsewhere, and if the company is his, then he may just have put a number of people out of work.

I would cancel any contracts I had with the firm.

The company is located in Del Mar.

This A-Hole deluxe merits full prosecution. He’s now trying to pass off his serious death threats as a “joke.”

CEO of that company should be a grown up. This libtard jerk is anything but. I hope he gets fired.

Will he be forced out of his job?

Remember the Mozilla CEO was forced out of a job because it was discovered he didn’t support same sex marriage. I guess threatening a Republican President is small potatoes by comparison to those on the Left.

Guy needs intervention. Something is wrong when you spout off like that on social media and call it “private.”

Completely agree. I would have to consider the company to be as immature and dangerous as its CEO.

I could not continue to do business with them.

“I’m going to kill the president. Elect,” was one of the posts on Harrigan’s Twitter account. It was followed by the comment, “Bring it secret service.”

“…getting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts,” reads a post to Harrigan’s Facebook account. “Find a bedroom in the whitehouse [sic] that suits you motherf-—er. I’ll find you.

Nice.

Some poor kid who was jokingly called crazy by a friend online replied “yeah, i’m gonna blow up a school lol” or something to that effect was imprisoned and may still well be. His father basically stated that the kid was being raped many many times. He was reported by some nosy Canadian witch who is now horrified at what she’s done.

But what this guy said is ok.

The telling part about this story is that the mainstream media refuses to report it.

The board will examine the package they have to offer the guy, or options to just terminate for incompetence. It would surprise me if he’s still there in two weeks.

PacketSled’s blog: Harrigan has submitted his resignation to the BOD. CTO to take over in the interim. Company claims *they* reported him to the SS after he made his posts. Hmmm...CYA.

He was hypnotized by Hillary's Master Persuaders, like the people rioting in the streets [Trump is LITERALLY Hitler!!!].

Robert Cialdini and Hillary's other Persuaders need to take ownership of their Persuasion Malpractice.

Who’s Cialdini? How did I miss him :) thanks i advance.

This CEO was a grown man. How can you be so utterly stupid and reckless.

He won’t, but he could have faced 5 years in prison.

I am so glad it was reported to the feds.

I’m sure it’s all over msm /s
