Did y'all hear?

Another Insurance CEO was almost killed at his home.

Is it a policy to not post news about copycats? (Which is a common policy) Or is it that they don't want overwhelming public support for it again?

"The home of State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation (SAIF) CEO Chip Terhune in Lake Oswego, near Portland, was shot up in the early hours of Feb. 21, the Lake Oswego Police Department said Wednesday."

In my opinion, it's not that they fear another CEO's death. CEOs are replaceable. It's that they don't want another anti-hero in the news.

EDIT: Replies are arguing based on the term "anti-hero" without acknowledging the definition of the word, confusing it with the term hero.
Here's the definition of anti-hero: An "antihero" is a main character in a story who lacks the typical heroic qualities like strong morals, selflessness, and idealism, often making questionable decisions while still being the protagonist.

Would the news sharing this information make the suspect in the story a main character? Yes.
Would this person possibly be applauded because it mirrors other recent events? Yes.
Does that term mean we think the person is a hero? No. That's literally not the definition.

Before telling someone to "do their research" or the like, try Googling (or using your preferred search engine) first.

Shooting at a house is for cowards and scumbags

@Sable_Shade Addressed in a different comment, but while there's nothing heroic about it, and I don't condone it either, the definition of an anti-hero is loosely someone with main character energy with a bad moral code.

This person views themselves, likely, as a main character trying to accomplish something.

I think we need to detach from the idea that we have to approve of such a label. You can find the definition I'm using with Google. Maybe your definition is different

gurple?
Never touch the stuff
Smells of scummery and dupes
No, when I want to know what someone is, I look at their actcions
Hoodie man, who knows who he really is, his face is never seen in the footage, had a problem with someone, some sphere of someones. And hoodie woman(? who really knows) took steps to make remedy and statement.
Housey bang bang wank, shot at a house. Unseen, the innards, and ran
No care for target
No care for peripheral consequence
Coward
Scumbag

@Sable_Shade So your reply sounds like a critique of the actions of the person in the article.

The post is a commentary on how the news isn't covering it. Why didn't they? Would the story if told sound like something the general public may laud, due to other past events? Yes.

I think you should revisit the original post and re-read it.

If you wanna change topics, that's fine, but don't expect your last response to be taken as context to the original post.

No
No critique of the person
Statement of what the person did
And therefore is!
No change of topic
My critique is of your original toot and the words you used
You, named him/they "anti-hero"
A coward is coward
A scumbag a scumbag
Calling someone that shoots in a general direction of some thing, is of no use to anyone or anything and needs to be labelled so
Just as a stiff arm gesture is as bullshit as all great america-ing that's going on right now

@Sable_Shade I don't think we're going to see eye to eye on this. I'll stick with the definition, you can argue into the void.

Unlike you, it seems
I am able talk without thinking it's an argument
I did not see it as eye level, either
You chose to use the anti-hero lable, in your opinion
K, bye
