Green Beret Sniper/UFC Fighter Reacts To Islamic State’s ‘Credible Threat’

Tim Kennedy is a former Green Beret sniper and currently fights in the UFC. Sure, he spends most of his days being a professional bada**, but lately, he’s been working closely with the FBI. Why? Apparently, a bunch of Islamic State militants issued “credible threats” toward him.

From the Army Times:

Kennedy, who served in 7th Special Forces Group and is now a sergeant first class with the Texas National Guard, said he typically gets five to 10 threats a day via his social media accounts.

 

Most of those threats are from what he calls “military trolls” who target high-profile military figures.

 

“Apparently a couple of them were legitimate in trying to, from what the FBI said, plan stuff,” Kennedy told Army Times.

Let’s just say, Kennedy isn’t interested in talking about their feeeeeeelings or trying to understaaaaaand their culture.

“They said, ‘Are you aware of this stuff?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ They said, ‘We think this is somewhat credible,’” Kennedy said. “Then I said, ‘I’m kind of desensitized to this stuff, so maybe you should tell me what my level of alarm should be.’”

“What’s the definition of terrorism?” Kennedy continued. “It’s to achieve an objective through the use of force and fear. These are just nasty, evil, disgusting human beings who disrespect human life. I teach people how to live with threats like this. Who would I be to be cowering to a bunch of gutless cowards acting like a bunch of tough guys online?”

We could use more guys like Kennedy.
