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
He should have been sent to gitmo
“Bring it, secret service.”
you asked for it!
“CEO Who Threatened To Kill Trump With Sniper Rifle Says Life Has Been Turned Upside Down”
Dang, I wonder how that could have happened...
LOL. Are we supposed to feel sorry for him? What goes around comes around.
DUH!
The wages of stupid.
He prolly thought Hillary would have pardoned him if he took out Trump.
RE: They were words that he thought only his friends would see.
And he is in cybersecurity?
I’ve met some of his type in IT.
This is an outrage! You mean you can’t even threaten to assassinate a new president without everyone getting their knickers in a twist?! What’s this world coming to?
I’d wonder about false flags yet. I’d sure be incensed at his threat, but to send him a death threat too? Naw.
Maybe he can get a job in a comedy club.

If anybody on our side joked this way about The Won they would have locked them up and thrown away the key.
I have no sympathy for him.
Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut like we did in ‘08 and ‘12
He clearly threatened Trumps life and should be arrested. The laws are very clear about threats of this nature.
This is another democrat who believes they are above the law...
Friends in high places?
Prisons are full of people who wish they'd stayed sober that one fateful evening.
#### him.
You DO NOT threaten someone’s life!!
There is no “casual” sentence where the word “kill” should be used in reference to ANY person.
This guy is HIGH up on the darwin award list.
His life is set to be ruined like that drive thru idiot at Chick Fil A..and that dude didn’t even threaten to kill anyone
