A California-based network security company has accepted the resignation of their CEO of he threatened to kill President-elect Donald Trump. Matt Harrigan, the now FORMER CEO of PacketSled, went on a Facebook tirade on election night. The series of angry messages were part of a private thread that someone exposed through a series of screenshots. In those posts, Harrigan made quite clear the intent to kill Mr. Trump:
Im going to kill the president. Elect. Bring it secret service. Getting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts. Find a bedroom in the whitehouse that suits you motherf***er. Ill find you. In no uncertain terms, f*** you America. Seriously. F*** off.
And just in case Harrigan hoped to find peace in his community of San Diego, Harrigan stuck the last dagger in the heart of that community with his Ron Burgandy-like quip "Really San Deigo? Trump? Go F*** yourself San Diego."

There are consequences to broadcasting blatant stupidity on social media.
These liberals have bought into their own propaganda and believe that everyone believes just as they do. So they think they can say anything without repercussions.
I think he already checked off the second box - working for an extremely liberal tech company. Maybe Payless shoes is hiring...
Excellent! Brighten my day. Now if he sees jail time that would be icing on the cake

He is a TWIT. Tweeting While Intoxicated Totally.
(smile) that was funny
That depends on how the company was structured. Remember Apple fired Steve Jobs. There comes a point in a corporate life cycle that the person who started it also becomes expendable.
Grub Hub and Pepsi are next.
Need to boycott that Will amith movie as well.
The donald on Reddit is all over this.
This bro obviously needs some psychological evaluation. The dude is completely unhinged and his comments must be taken at face value.
Did he resign from this position yet?

Fred Wilmot, the company's Chief Technology Officer, will serve as interim CEO...
What are the chances that Fred Wilmot exposed the threat? Interesting...
Wooohooooo Jesters Dead! May he be the first of many.
Too late Suckahs!
No more federal contracts for you.
mat hereagain?
Doubt it, unless mat hereagain recovers and publishes Hitlerys 33,000 missing e-mails.
Yes, that’s sure how it reads. Wow.
I dont know the exact corporate structure but if it is a start up. Investors usually want a seat on the BoD and if their shares are larger than the founder’s they ultimately control the company so they can fire him. He probably got a good golden parachute.
Steve jobs was fired by his board of directors once you put your company public for funding it is NO LONGER YOUR company!!!
