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."

This could be the single most stupid man on earth.
Either that or he has SEVERE mental problems and hid them all the up the ladder to CEO
LOL!
Amen, Amen, Amen! and Mrs. Jennings agrees!
Yes. I was hopeful that you'd support free speech. It saddens me that I'm mistaken.
'He who pays the piper, calls the tune.' The shareholders (angels) through the BoD, have called the tune and asked Dandy Don Meredith to sing it: "Turn out the lights, the party's over..." for the CEO, the would be 'sniper'.
Has the DNC offered Matt Harrigan a job yet?
He needs to be imprisoned.
There is a definitive difference between 'free speech' and what this guy said.
I recall that, after Obama was elected, many on our side were quoting a particular Scripture, Psalm 109:8, as a prayer for Obama..."May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership" (NIV).
Contrast that with (from Inquisitr.com)...
“‘I’m going to kill the president. Elect,’ Harrigan declared on Facebook. When someone cautioned him about making comments that could attract the attention of the FBI or Secret Service, Harrigan said, ‘Bring it secret service.’ When one of his buddies said ‘you just need to get high,’ he went into disturbing detail about his plans.” “‘Nope, getting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts. Find a bedroom in the White House that suits you, motherf***er. I’ll find you.’"
Quite the difference there. Free speech versus open threat.
I reckon his mother never taught him not to tweet and tweak at the same time ...

I think, having observed the charade for the last 55+ years, maybe Frank and Ike were on to something...
"Just relax, it won't be Trump"
"The two parties need each other to survive"
"Bush voting for Clinton"

Agreed, the Secret Service should have already led him away in handcuffs.
Apple fired Jobs and it was his company....
“He founded and OWNED the company, when he took the company public HE was no longer IN CONTROL!!! Just like Steve Jobs the BOD fired him!!! They did not pick him!!!’n”
The company never went public, it went through a seed and a Series A round.
He should be interrogated, arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to the full extent of the law for seditiously, personally threatening to KILL the President elect of the United States.
If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L. B. J.Compare that to this political hyperbole that you'd like to see no longer protected by the 1st Amendment:
I’m going to kill the president. Elect. Bring it secret service. Nope, getting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts.While Harrigan's statement is clearly provocative, it is very similar to Watts' provocative statement.
In the end, it doesn't matter. Prosecutors and the courts will never take this case. The 1st Amendment still matters to them to some degree.
“Apple fired Jobs and it was his company....”
The company was public when he was fired. Jobs had around a 10-11% equity stake at the time. It was not “his” company. John Sculley was the CEO and had the backing from the Board. Jobs was a VP or SVP at the time.
” He probably got a good golden parachute.”
Not necessarily. Investors usually have a morals/conduct clause in their agreements - and when you screw up, you don’t have a pot of gold when you exit. He does get severance and retain his equity stake.
I have one, and all my officers have such an agreement with our investors. But to be honest, I’ve never heard of their investors.
On another note, I had asked another FReeper about PacketSled’s governement contracts, but have not seen anything. Other than the City of San Diego’s contract.
My company’s contracts with the Feds has been publicized and we are a much newer entity than PacketSled, and in a different niche.
Now it’s time for the Secret Service to pay him a unannounced visit.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/schadenfreude
Etymology Borrowing from German Schadenfreude (“joy in the misfortune of others”), from Schaden (“damage, misfortune”) + Freude (“joy”). The word gained popularity in English in the late 20th c.[1] and likely entered mainstream usage through an episode of The Simpsons[2] (more in citations).
“A wise move and hopefully they are being honest in their posted statement.”
As FOUNDER (hardly ever reported), I bet he still owns 50+% of the stock.
Hussein/Clintonheads NEVER tell the truth.
