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
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”.
… 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.
Luigi is allegedly a national hero
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.
If he’s one in a billion, well then we’re owed 7 more Luigis
Considering there are like 340 million people living in the US, it’s quite unlikely for another to emerge at those odds, especially since the insurance Execs went on higher alert after the first incident
If that’s all it takes he’s one in a hundred thousand
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.
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.
How else can you pay people who are working at a non profit? Thank you’s dont pay bills, but neither taking home half a million in the name of non-profit.
How much of that money goes to those executives and their “vacations” aka fundraising?
Oh, don’t worry. They don’t have to pay for those fund raising vacations out of pocket. It comes from the non-profit’s budget.

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.
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 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…
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.
Do i really need to edit and add the /s?
People should learn sarcasm just does not work on the internet.
I guess i still work on the assumption anything over 200k a year is hyperbolic…idk
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)
Left is best!
Wait, is that house on fire?
His camper was (which I guess may have spread to his house). It was insurance fraud.
