Don’t let mainstream news water down the real tragedy that happened here. This was a hate crime, not an argument. The local police didn’t respond to their distress about their home, and now it’s escalated to the murder of Joss and their pet dog

Fuck SAPD. I hope there’s riots in the streets
Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.

Words matter here.

He was MURDERED.

it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.

Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.
