Tech company CEO (PacketSled Harrigan) fired after threatening to kill Trump
WDBO ^ | 11-15-2016 | Joe Kelly

Posted on 11/15/2016 6:07:22 AM PST by tcrlaf

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."

Stupid reporter couldn’t tell the difference of being fired vs. self-”resigned”.

Drunken posting is never a good idea.

But if this maggot hadn't even that excuse, Leavenworth should be his new home, posthaste.

“Must have had some kind of govt contract set up with a Hillary administration.”

Interesting thought.

There is little difference between a forced resignation and a firing, other than the wording of the departure announcement.

He's a fool ... not a criminal.

US Code Title 18, Section 871

"(a)Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

(b)The terms “President-elect” and “Vice President-elect” as used in this section shall mean such persons as are the apparent successful candidates for the offices of President and Vice President, respectively, as ascertained from the results of the general elections held to determine the electors of President and Vice President in accordance with title 3, United States Code, sections 1 and 2. The phrase “other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President” as used in this section shall mean the person next in the order of succession to act as President in accordance with title 3, United States Code, sections 19 and 20."

CRIMNAL. Arrest, try, convict, Leavenworth.

G'bye jerk... I hope you enjoy your future prison husband.

Yes, I've seen his picture. I'm sure some 300-pound Bubba will find him attractive, should he go inside.

PING!

If I was a worker at PacketSled, I’d be looking for a new job if the board fired the founder and CEO of my company did this.

They’re going to have to rebrand the company after this, or more likely sell their technology stack for whatever they can get for it.

Does the board of PacketSled take ANY responsibility for allowing this fellow to get through their screening process and appointing him in the first place?? What is their screening process for a CEO candidate?!?!

How does such an unbalanced jerk ever get to be a CEO in the first place?

He founded the company.

I don’t think I ever would have used their product but I still won’t. The board feels the same way. They just got caught. I hope they go the way of a Christian bakery in Obamanation.

Okay...I am not one to get into a flame war. I haven’t participated in them in the past, and I really don’t want to start now. HOWEVER...

We have just come from 8 years of a traitorous, evil regime...one that has CONSTANTLY downtrodden our American way of life, disrespected it’s citizens, vilified the military, and promoted un-natural and evil lifestyles.

We have, after this dark and depressing period, finally elected as man who, if he follows through with what he has said, may indeed turn this country around and rouse it’s citizens to restore our nation to it’s place as the “shining beacon on a hill”.

Now, along comes some disgusting individual who has...not in PRIVATE, but on a PUBLIC social media conveyance, for EVERYONE to see...threatened to SHOOT DEAD the man we have DULY ELECTED as our President....and you want me to respect his rights of “free speech”????

NO.EFFING.WAY.

I don’t care if the guy was drunk, high, under the influence of ‘shrooms, or walking around with a purple diaper on his head.

HE THREATENED TO KILL MY PRESIDENT-ELECT. I want his nasty azz ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, and then I want him to serve the MAXIMUM amount of time allowed by LAW in a Federal PRISON. I want him to serve as an example to the next 10 generations that you DO NOT make public statements like that...EVER.

I appreciate what the case of ‘Watts v. US’ says. Maybe that kid was expressing frustration over having to go off and fight in a war. Perhaps what that particular young man said was off the cuff and not particularly well-thought out. But...did that young man just go through what WE’VE been through? Did he see his country on the verge of destruction and consignment to the ash-heap of history?

Because WE have. Now is our possibly last chance to turn it around, given to us as a merciful gift from Almighty God.

I will NOT listen to some no-account ex-CEO make a threat to destroy that chance without his answering for it.

Thanks for clarifying. Glad to hear they finally got his number. Should be a good lesson for their board and shareholders about the next choice.
