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?

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago

Well, I’m in Oregon, so yes! See headline for details.

Police just released more footage of the alleged perpetrator.

So like a human-sized, human-shaped Bigfoot

I can't believe that in 2025 people still believe in Bigfoot. That is so obviously just a Yeti in a gorilla suit.

I like to think that some version of this conversation took place:

"Chief, should we release this security footage to the press?"

"Why wouldn't we?"

"Well, it looks like bigfoot. Like a bigfoot scam video."

"It sure does. But if we don't release it, they'll say we're suppressing it."

"As long as you are prepared for the jokes and memes, Sir."

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.

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

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

Funny how they stop being "stray" bullets when they enter the homes of the rich.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

These were definitely stray bullets - they missed.

Got tips? Reach Jessica Burbank on Signal at Kaburbank.77

I saw the guy! He was tall, wearing all green, with a hat with an "L" on it.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago

Nothing about the photo in the article contradicts your description lol.

On an entirely unrelated note, check out this neat photo of some geodes:

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

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 19 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Receiving approximately a million dollars a year is not reasonable at a non-profit.

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.

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.

SAIF is a state run public corporation directed by a board appointed by the governor to operate a needed service for the benefit of the public. Its structure is similar to Amtrak. This is not a good target at all for anti for profit healthcare protest. (Even if the CEO is still paid too much)

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.

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 28 points 1 month ago

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...

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh no, don't make the entire corrupt insurance industry fear for their lives... that would be horrible...

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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.

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.

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.

Sounds like a pretty small insurance company, servicing only 1 state. Anybody know anything about them?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.
