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
One of the guys on Showtime’s Circus said that Comey’s giving her a pass again might work in Trump’s favor. I think it did.
I highly recommend at least watching the last episode. It will make you smile as you see Hillary’s people get their comeuppance.
thats for sure, the female CEO of the Pepsi corp. opened her big mouth also....I have been drinking pepsi for decades....Have one more 12 pack in my trunk then I am off Pepsi. Stupid is as stupid does...I remember when a basket ball player was the spokesman for I think Nike....He was intelligent when asked why he doesn;t talk politics....He said both democrats and republicans buy our shoes, I am not going to insult 1/2 of them
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
PING!
During War the enemy is attacked. He is experiencing war. Prison would at least protect his life.
However, it would never occur to me to threaten the POTUS.
What the hell kind of "joke" does this a-hole think that is?
About as funny as a gut-full of pinworms.
.
Strange kind of “Friends” this guy has.
.
Definitely will!
Do they show her crying and throwing a tantrum?
Hell, the ONE gun law you could pass, and eliminate ALL the others, and gun deaths would drop like a rock would be to forbid purchase of firearms by democrats.
If the comments were private, why did he address some of them directly to the secret service?
If someone else took them to twitter, why do they appear under his name?
Not even the “Major Appliances” branch of the geek squad will hire this doofus. Serves him right.
I have only watched two episodes so far but it is my understanding that Clinton didn’t cooperate. Trump did. So no wild Clinton crying.
It is really interesting to see what she had in place for her victory speech versus Trump. he just had a small ballroom/conference room type thing..and she had a gigantic room
If you didn’t know who won you would think Clinton did as you watch the beginning of the last episode..everything was in her favor.And they were all stunned.
It shows Trumps pace. The reporter with him was exhausted.
The first one I watched was the RNC convention...and yeah..they show Ted and the aftermath.
Yes, usually when a high-profile person pulls this crap, the next news release is that they are in rehab.
I’ve been drunk a few times since Obama was elected, but this is something I wouldn’t even say in private to my best friend.
Harrigan has shaved his beard since his “flawed joke” incident.
I’m sure. Probably be hard to photograph.
But I’m sure the Secret Service can still find him when they are ready.
This man should be “hiding ou” in a maximum security jail cell awaiting a grand jury indictment.
"Executive will not disparage the Company or any of its directors, officers, agents or Executives or otherwise take any action which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the personal or professional reputation of the Company or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees."
Harrigan stupidity exposes something much bigger. Look at the officers, board members and staff of PacketSled. Who they are and what PacketSled actually does.
Exactly. Harrigan is lucky he is not in jail.
