We all make choices in life, some of them are dumber than others. This former CEO however, takes the cake. He is likely not going to get too much sympathy from anyone other than George Soros or the underbelly of the Democrat Party…
The former CEO of a local cybersecurity firm is talking first to 10News – about his threat to shoot President-elect Donald Trump.
Team 10 Investigator Allison Ash sat down with Matt Harrigan Tuesday afternoon. He tells Allison he’s been getting death threats since the posts went viral and he and his family have relocated until the storm settles.
Harrigan was the CEO of PacketSled until he resigned his position Tuesday morning. He said he’s sorry for his words, and he wants his side of the story told.
Harrigan wrote the series of Facebook posts on election night. They were words that he thought only his friends would see. He wrote, “I’m going to kill the president. elect” and “Bring it, secret service.” He even mentioned getting a sniper rifle and targeting the White House once Donald Trump was living there.
Harrigan said his Facebook friends shared the post on Twitter and that’s how it went viral. He says, he’s ashamed of what he wrote.
“I’m incredibly apologetic, for that. I don’t know,” Harrigan said. “It was [a] very, very dumb thing to do, and I regret it very much… and I would take it back if I could.”
Harrigan said he was drunk when he wrote the “absurd comments” on election night before Donald Trump won the election. He said most of his friends knew he was just being “over the top” with his “distasteful joke”.
At least one of those friends wasn’t amused, sharing the disturbing messages outside their circle of Facebook friends. “It started to trend very, very quickly and started spiraling and I was blown away,” Harrigan admitted
The Secret Service spent two hours interviewing Harrigan inside his Del Mar home. They did not say whether criminal charged would be filed against the married father of two.
Harrigan said his family has been forced out of their home by death threats from people unhappy with his remarks. Although he said the threats he made against Donald Trump were “a joke”, he is taking the threats against his family seriously. –ABC 10 News
I doubt if he got death threats. In the unlikely event he did, they were from his own side.
I said at the time that I figured he was just a blowhard blowing off steam to his friends. He probably had no intent. However, I don’t think the law requires intent. But then again...neither does the law Hillary broke and COmey let her skate.
I don’t think much happened to the guy with the “sniper wanted” chiron on TV.
You know, I guess I still don't have a grasp on liberal mentality.
I usually presume they are telling the truth.
I need to get into the mindset that probably a smidge less than 100% of this anti-Trump stuff is fake.
Most of it has proved to be so already, so why not the rest?
Still, if it really did happen, it'd be because people want him to know what it feels like.
And my sympathy meter is completely broken.
Why isn’t he in jail?
He probably thought he could inspire some other moron.
Regardless, he should be in jail. Now.
Make an example of him like that punk in Ohio.
The scary thing about the left is that those who are having the biggest meltdowns, rioting, threatening, etc, are the ones who want to be in control in this country and think they they and those like them should be.
God so spared us.
You mean after you initiated your own death threat that is, right?
Upside down or not, that kind of remark warrants arrest based on my limited knowledge of laws , is that not true ? Any lawyers here ?
Big joke, right. This guy belongs in prison.
I wonder what his tighty whities looked like after the SS left his home....for sure he is now on a watch closely site.Democrats are sure stupid...
That’s a GOOD payin’ job he’s got there too!
but because he’s most likely a libtarded demorat I’m sure he’ll get a pass on his ‘intoxicating’ gibberish... so, nothing to see here folks...move along.
You must be very stupid if you were surprised. I guess you are using the 'drunk' excuse. Sorry, no deal. Still guilty.
Don’t feel sorry for that prick. You can bet your bippy that when he resigned his CEO gig, he left with a multi-$Million$ golden parachute. No pity from THIS direction.
James Comey no doubt is already writing his “he didn’t mean it” summary of the case when he presents his findings of no charges.
Kissed a lot of butts on the way up, now thinks he can say anything he wants....out of a job, out of a salary, out of his new house, getting threats, I wonder if he learned kissing butts is not the end all and be all....you need smarts and he missed out on that...
He thought only his “friends” would see his threat to kill the president-elect?????
Hasn’t he heard of “See something, say something.”?
Why isn’t he in jail instead of just hiding?
It is the old cry of “not my fault, dindonuffin”.
