In Green Beret and current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) mixed martial arts fighter Tim Kennedy, ISIS and its lily-livered sympathizers chose the wrong American to bully.

If they really want some of this, they can — in the words of the incomparable Axl Rose — “get in the ring!”:

Incredibly enough, the militants and/or its trolls have been sending threats Kennedy’s way daily and for some time now and, apparently, some of them have become legit enough for federal authorities to take notice.

This from the Army Times:

“Just spoke to the FBI regarding some recent credible threats towards me by #ISIS,” Kennedy wrote Wednesday evening on his official Facebook page. “They were not overly thrilled with my response … ‘Let those cowards come.’”

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.

The FBI reached out to Kennedy Wednesday.

“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.’”

If you think this elite soldier and professional tough guy is scared even one iota, however, think again.

“These are just nasty, evil disgusting human beings who disrespect human life,” he said. “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?”
