King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss has died aged 59 after a shooting in Texas, police have confirmed.
Joss was the voice of John Redcorn for seasons two through 13 of the popular animated series. He had reportedly recorded bits for the show’s reboot, which recently began production for Hulu and is slated to premiere in August.
The actor was reportedly shot multiple times over the weekend after a disagreement with a neighbor, according to TMZ. San Antonio police responded to a home after reports of shots fired and found Joss near the road with gunshot wounds, according to Variety.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The article title is really fucked up for making it seem like it was both sides arguing and it boiling over.
That’s what they do. Our media absolutely covers for hate crimes right now.
I sent an email to their complaint department about the headline. Not likely to do anything, but I’ll still be annoying.
Posted this. Thanks for the idea!
Shame on your organization.
You ran an article titled “King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss fatally shot in Texas after argument with neighbor” and just conveniently left out the fact that there was no argument, just an active hate crime. You failed to mention the years of police reports, the context of the situation, or the open letter penned by his husband who was there, witnessed the murder, and heard the man yelling homophobic slurs as he shot at two completely unarmed non threatening men on their own property.
Organizations like yours protect the shit police forces, the bigots, the lowlives of our society. Decisions like this show where you stand. You’re cowards; cowards protect other cowards.
Disgusting.
Pathetic.
Shameful.
I hope you actually ponder this one for a second. I know you won’t, but got dang, find a moral or two. Y’all suck. This man deserved better; we deserve better. Even you deserve better.
Link to the complaint line?
I’ll be sending this same message to them
I wish I had thought of doing that, thanks! I will join you.
Lemmy is “our” media. Mainstream media is owned by the 1%. It is heavily censored.
Corporate media is just misinformation and propaganda.
