Shots Fired Into the Home of Oregon Insurance CEO
Shots Fired Into the Home of Oregon Insurance CEO
Lake Oswego police provided Drop Site News with an image of the suspect, who is still at large.
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
Are you taking notes on a goddamn criminal conspiracy!?
Also, if you seriously need notes like that, don't bother, you're gonna get caught anyway, might as well save some paper.
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.
The reality is that Lugi was one in a billion: smart enough to plan and execute something like this, but also had the motivation (due to health problems and personal reasons) to actually do it.
Most people who grab a gun to solve problems are unfortunately just lunatics, we just got lucky with Luigi.
This, especially the first point. When 9/11/2001 happened, the world had no clue it was coming. It was planned and then executed. There were no threats, no messages; bin-Laden didn't release a statement until after the attacks were carried out. They just did it, they didn't talk about doing it.
IIRC, the US knew it was coming but ignored the Intel.
Funny how they stop being "stray" bullets when they enter the homes of the rich.
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.
Nothing about the photo in the article contradicts your description lol.
On an entirely unrelated note, check out this neat photo of some geodes:
On another unrelated note, look at my cat!!
this morning I gave her food AND water. Usually those happen on sperate days
Neat
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.
My thoughts and prayers are with the shooter in this difficult time
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.
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...
Oh no, don't make the entire corrupt insurance industry fear for their lives... that would be horrible...
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.
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.
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.
I had a thought recently that could maybe make health insurance a little more fair here in the US. If we required the people who approve or deny claims at health insurance agencies to carry malpractice insurance and allowed them to be sued for medical malpractice when their claim denial led to adverse health outcomes, we could (maybe) make them think twice about denying claims.
Obviously trying to help people isn't a functional incentive for them, but maybe not getting sued would work.
it sure seems like the CEO made a lot of profit for themself.
My inner grammar nazi forces me to comment: It's himself, herself or themselves.
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.
It says it wasn't the sound that alerted them, and there was minor property damage. Guessing they only realised after they found bullets.
I was not being serious, in any sense of the term. Stay awesome!!
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."
Yeah, this doesn't seem as clean cut as the Mangione case... not sure what to think about it yet; I'd be curious to find out what the guys motives were.
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.
RUN BIGFOOT RUN!
POGCHAMP
OMEGALUL
Looks like he was defending himself from a ghost. Nothing to see here.
Reddit must Be censoring this was never on the front page and it should have been
Fingers crossed
Oh no. Anyway...
It's a workers comp non profit. Isn't that typically cookie cutter claims rubber stamped?
Only if the company doesn’t contest it. It’s possible someone was injured on the job but the company didn’t want their insurance rates to go up, so they argued against it.
TBTP Raised the stakes, charging Luigi with terrorism.. Don't think they won't charge this person if caught with the same thing.
Camera footage looks like Bigfoot.
