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 hes 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 hes 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, Im 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 thats how it went viral. He says, hes ashamed of what he wrote.
Im incredibly apologetic, for that. I dont 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 wasnt 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
Friends don’t let friends drink and tweet!
That’s about as smart as making a joke about hijacking the aircraft you just boarded.
Lynch will do nothing to him. Sessions will.
"I was just joking, you don't have to be mean about it"...
...What happens when snowflakes (sort of) grow up.
This is a man that doesn’t have the temperament to be a CEO.
The irony is delicious.
He says his threat to kill Trump was a joke, but now that he’s receiving death threats it’s no longer a joking matter.
Liberals! Men.
“CEO Who Threatened To Kill Trump With Sniper Rifle Says Life Has Been Turned Upside Down”
As well it should be! Asshole!
ah...no mention of the
“In no uncertain terms, f*** you America. Seriously. F*** off.
tweets.
So he meant them ?
Loretty the non lyncher and jimmy the weasel won’t do a thing about this public threat to the prez elect. Now if he was a right winger he would be in the electric chair already. Two worlds two laws.
They can dish it out, but they sure can’t take it.
Waterboard him.
I’m sure those people sending him death threats are “only joking” also. No reason to move and disrupt his family over a few jokes. After all, they were probably drunk when they wrote them.
On a serious note, whoever these people are who send death threats, STOP IT.
It is a start-up...he founded it.

Dude wrote 5 tweets about assassinating Trump. A bit more then a “joke”.
Agreed.
But in his mind he was probably making inroads with the Kool Kids.
Sad.
O.K. I hope you’re right. I don’t wish him any bad luck; but if he has some I wouldn’t mind hearing about it.
(Snicker-snort).
Guys twitter feed is a joke. I think it’s a small company with little oversight. Very unprofessional behavior by Harrigan - pushing politics, using curse words, etc.

He posted a pic of Trump’s mom in MAY!
>> hes been getting death threats since the posts went viral and he and his family have relocated until the storm settles.
Imagine that... But an unfortunate response to the vacuum of law. Why wasn’t this idiot arrested?
It’s one thing to criticize, but threats are unacceptable.
