This story pisses me off on so many levels.
If you haven't seen it, the short story is that an 80+ year old man who is dying of cancer was selling his $200k Star Wars lego collection through a huge franchise called Bricks and Minifigs.
This corporation has stores all over the country, and there are several in Oregon. His son was selling the lego sets through the store in Keizer. They started the process in 2023 and I think around $100k of the collection had already been sold.
Recently the Bricks and Minifigs corporate stole back the franchise from the people in Keizer and then took possession of the legos. The family tried to get them back and they would not give them the collection back.
Family brings in a youtuber because they need help. Youtuber has been going on a long process of trying different things to leverage the company to either pay the family or give the legos back.
The Keizer PD did not help, which was frustrating, but the corporate offices are in Utah and the small town cops in Utah have actively been working protection for this company. They have been harrassing and arresting the youtuber. They now have him up on charges of stalking simply because he was trying to serve the men from BAM with papers for a lawsuit in Oregon. The company is owned by Mormons. The cops are all Mormons.
Oregon needs to get involved. The story originated here. We aren't run by the Mormon church. The State police need to get involved if Keizer won't do their jobs. There have been death threats. There clearly was theft involved.
The blatant corruption of the cops in Utah is shameful, frightening, and needs to be addressed.
