Jonathan Joss death: Police backtrack on hate crime denial
The shooting of actor Jonathan Joss, best known as the voice of John Redcorn on \
Joss' murderer has a name and an address. He is currently under house arrest.
First I thought this was an accusation XD
But lets not make him "famous".
I've been watching King of the Hill at work (all shift sometimes) recently and it's gotten to be real difficult to see the antagonistic characters on the show in the same light. Cartoons are supposed to be an exaggeration of their real life counterparts. Knowing what texas is harboring in real life really washes out the humor these antagonists are supposed to bring.
In a press conference on June 5, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said that the department's earlier statement saying there was "no evidence" Joss' murder was "related to his sexual orientation" was "way premature" and "before we had any real information."
Still lying.
So according to the Chief, their detective did not interview the surviving victim of the crime before talking to the press. Snappy police work there. "We're not bigots who enabled this murder by ignoring the prior complaints of the victims, we're just really stupid. Golly!"
The fucking account from his husband is the most clear cut hate crime shit.
They came home to their dead dogs skull in their driveway before the assailant approached them, yelling homophobic slurs, and shot him. Also, someone in their neighborhood set their house in fire earlier this year.
Fuck that county. I hope that king of the hill money gets used to turn that fucking county admin inside out.
"someone"
I think we can make a good guess as to who that might have been
And they would have kept it as a “non hate crime” if the victim had not been a part of two popular TV shows…
They literally werent even gonna arrest the killers.
Christian places are not safe for us.
A christian church is a loud homophobic stayement, and shoukd be treated as such.
Which ones are you counting? KOTH and Parks and Rec? Looks like he was also in walker Texas ranger and a movie called the Abduction of the Fourth Kind that looks intriguing
Fourth Kind was gnarly.
As always, ACAB.

I will never go back to the U.S but especially Texas. Texas is a shit hole
I currently recommend staying out entirely because of the paranoid war against "immigration" that has made our borders openly hostile to everybody, but if that ever changes there's plenty of cities that are only as shitty as global average and if the national parks survive they are unmatched.
How was the husband’s testimony not suggestive of a hate crime? It’s like suggesting the guy who firebombed people in Boulder Colorado last week wasn’t committing a hate crime.
Afaik the Colorado thing wasn't a hate crime, it was an act of terrorism. It was motivated by political cause (antizionism), not identity (Jewishness).
They will call it both because it was both.
He was motivated by political cause but also he's prejudiced enough to be unable to distinguish genociders from a run club
Not to mention there are likely records of past incidents where they were threatened. Cops are now pretending like they weren’t aware of the hate crime issue before he was even dead.
