Oh no! Anyway,
Yeah, kinda slow around here. Wishing for warmer weather, and Spring. I did plant some cilantro and broccoli in cold frames, just to keep myself amused. Anything fun up in your neighborhood?
Well, I’m in Oregon, so yes! See headline for details.
cmon you cant deny the schadenfreude value on some of these.
Yeah, I've got some tips..
One, don't be a moron and send threatening emails before the job is done, that just puts people on alert and makes it more likely you get caught, especially considering traceability of email.
Two, don't fire blindly into a house you colossal moron, you can probably find a hiding spot good enough to wait until your target comes outside so you can get a clear shot.
Three, don't pull out the gun until you've got a confirmed target, and don't pull the trigger unless you're goddamn sure you got a killing shot, on the right target. Remember one of the things everyone likes about Luigi is that he was successful, and the other thing everyone likes is he didn't hurt anyone.
And four, if successful, once you get out of the immediate area, make sure not to be carrying around any goddamn incriminating evidence.
furiously nodding and taking notes
Luigi went from epic mastermind assassin to getting busted in a shitty fast food place with tons of incriminating evidence on his person. This bullshit needs a "epstein didn't kill himself" level meme
I mean yeah, I’ve been saying he was a patsy since the day he was arrested. The dude manages to evade capture for an entire week, then gets caught with a written manifesto and the entire (easily disassembled and broken into pieces to be scattered where cops will never find the entire thing) ghost gun fully intact? The entire thing smells like “accidentally” disabled body cams and planted evidence.
He also sprinkled some crack on top of his own head, so if the other stuff didnt get him, that crack is pretty damning.
/s
Yeah, especially the ghost gun thing. The point of having that is to get rid of it when you're done and it can't be traced. Why go through the effort of getting a ghost gun if you're going to keep it? It doesn't make sense.
I've been thinking this too
It's possible but it just doesn't jive with everything else he did
If the end goal is to thin the herd, yeah, all those points matter.
If the goal is to terrify the CEOs into compliance or get them to take an early retirement package, threats and potshots will do fine.
Still should consider not using email, though.
he didn’t hurt anyone
... else?
Also, while the state and federal government claim otherwise, they carry the burden of proof and Luigi Mangione currently claims innocence. So, unless you are also accusing him, you should add some qualifier to "[Luigi] was successful".
Luigi is allegedly a national hero
… else?
This presumes I would consider the creature that was killed as 'someone'.
And sure, legally he has to claim that. But unless all the evidence they found on him was planted, which I think is a bit too much of a stretch (not because I don't think they would do it, but because I think it would be too likely to come out that it was planted), then in any situation where my comments do not cause legal jeopardy I don't have an issue talking about him doing it as though it were fact.
Funny how they stop being "stray" bullets when they enter the homes of the rich.
These were definitely stray bullets - they missed.

I saw the guy! He was tall, wearing all green, with a hat with an "L" on it.
Nothing about the photo in the article contradicts your description lol.
On an entirely unrelated note, check out this neat photo of some geodes:
Could just be an accident right? Theres so many guns in the US and also the cops shoot and miss all the time.
UK cautions its travelers to the US to avoid walking around alone at night, and almost every country warns travelers that the US is a more violence-prone place and full of firearms than they are used to.
You should read the article and maybe revise your comment.
I come to the comments section for someone to summarise the article for me
ChatGTFO
My thoughts and prayers are with the shooter in this difficult time
The article mentioned that SAIF is a non profit health insurance company where the executives are reasonably paid and don't have massive security teams
Receiving approximately a million dollars a year is not reasonable at a non-profit.
It’s a shame the CEO was okay.
Homies gotta put in more time at the range before attempting to file a claim directly with the CEO.
I mean, what was the CEO wearing? Maybe they should think more about their own safety... there's common sense precautions that can be taken, like not being the CEO of an American for-profit healthcare company.
Oh no, don't make the entire corrupt insurance industry fear for their lives... that would be horrible...
Well, the provided image of the suspect is going to be unhelpful to their investigation. I've seen less blurry shots of sasquatch. Why did they even bother releasing it?
Actually, now that I think on it maybe the shooter was some sort of cryptid...
I can't tell if they posted his income to say he is paid too much or too little... It's a weird thing to include, it didn't seem to fit the article at all.
Poor guy getting shot at and doesn't even make a million a year. Absolute tragedy.
They mention a yearly bonus of around $200k in addition to his $550k/yr salary, but he may very well receive additional bonuses for meeting sales quotas or god knows what else. Not to mention stock options, which are given to every executive as a kind of tax-free additional salary.
All that to say, I wouldn’t feel too bad for him.
I'll have you know, Bigfeet as they're called are quite prevalent in Oregon and Northern California. I think they'll have more luck checking the forests than to ask any one of us for help.
This reminds me of the time someone shot at their own home
Yep, these vibes:
(though in that case I could immediately tell you why I felt that way - in this case I'll admit I'm probably wrong, I can't justify the feeling)
SAIF is a state-chartered not-for-profit and the largest workers’ compensation agency in Oregon. Terhune has been CEO of SAIF since 2021, when his base salary was $500,000. While his exact salary is not reported, he has he regularly received raises and “incentive payments” of 35-40%, according to SAIF’s annual reports. In 2024, according to calculations from the 2021 base salary, Terhune’s salary was around $562,323 and his bonus amounted to something like $216,000.
Despite being a "not for profit," it sure seems like the CEO made a lot of profit for themself.
The median salary for full-time workers in Oregon is $61,671.
SAIF's nonprofit status has no bearing on how they pay out. They still move to close claims as quickly as possible, they still use shill doctors who aren't good enough to practice as "independent" medical examiners to deny claims and they still sell people's claims to managed care organizations that are for-profit and make more money by denying care. Getting injured on the job and needing care as a result in Oregon is a bad time.
SAIF exists because Oregon law says it exists, and like many entities that exist entirely because of legislation it does the bare minimum of what the law says it does.
Thoughts and prayers to the bullets that were wasted
Looks like bigfoot to me
Hold it, Bob, We can see your wrist watch.
Is it possible this was just a car back firing? We're all keyed up these days, too much stress. And those ICE cars are pretty jankety.
Hope his rates don't go up libing in such a poor community and all
Sounds like a pretty small insurance company, servicing only 1 state. Anybody know anything about them?
Workers comp insurance, not for profit.
They aren't the type to deny coverage of a patient, because if it's related to an accident or injury that happened on the job, they're the ones who are going to look into it. And probably increase the employers fees, and probably sue them for not providing adequate training or safety gear and signing a contract with them.
It's not the same as healthcare. It's more liability insurance. I'd bet this isn't over being denied coverage, but something else entirely.
Not sure how I feel about this. The CEO doesn't make the kind of compensation other CEOs of problem companies make. He does make a lot more than a lot of doctors that aren't top tier brain surgeons. So I'm sort of on the side of "well, maybe people who don't actually have a real job shouldn't get paid more than doctors."
It's Lake O. I can't say that it was targeted, but you can't throw a rock without hitting a rich asshole in that part of town.
