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:

“I’m 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. I’ll 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."

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.

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.

This bro obviously needs some psychological evaluation. The dude is completely unhinged and his comments must be taken at face value.

Harrigan will join representatives from Bank of America, ViaSat, Qualcomm, FICO, ESET, Ernst & Young, US Navy SPAWAR, and others in helping to attract and nurture cybersecurity and IT talent, create new opportunities for businesses, and foster cooperation through the local economy.

One of the principal goals of the CCOE is to foster cooperation throughout the established cyber community, enabling large organizations and startups alike to focus on bringing additional innovation to the region. These efforts will increase the talent pool available to local companies, establish relationships between providers and buyers, and deliver core research that not only helps San Diego companies, but also keeps the citizens of San Diego safe from cyber security threats.

...

Fred Wilmot, the company's Chief Technology Officer, will serve as interim CEO...

What are the chances that Fred Wilmot exposed the threat? Interesting...

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.
