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.
I got a three day ban on Reddit after saying something about ‘human blenderizing’ the dude who did this.
It’s not even a real word, nor even an actual real object. I fucking hate Reddit. I wish Lemmy had more traffic.
RIP 🪦 We will miss you.
This post has ~800 upvotes and ~150 comments. Lemme is doing great. It would be nice if the smaller communities were bigger, but there was a point on Reddit probably around 2015ish where it became too many people. I am enjoying this way more. Making a comment doesn’t feel like shouting into a crowd of shouting people the way that Reddit does. There is actual conversation.
It’s doing “great” but there is a massive gap in diversity and breadth of topics/subs here unfortunately. Obviously it gets better over time in theory but right now the majority of content exists over there… sadly.
Whenever i see gun issues in the US i always like to post these videos. It’s easy to say muricans are retarded, everybody knows guns are the problem but it’s not that simple.

I won’t lose sleep over it.
FYI it’s neither mine nor a manifesto.
According to his husband’s posts on social media, these neighbors had subjected them to homophobic harassment and threats to burn down their home before now. And when they returned to find the skull of their dog out in plain view and started to cry, the neighbor came and killed Jonathan. His husband said he blocked the shot and saved his life.
What do you fucking do about a community like that? These people don’t exist in isolation. It’s scary as fuck and a heartbreaking way to start pride month.
and yet I have people telling me I’m overreacting when I say we’re sleepwalking into the next holocaust in this country, only instead of Jews it will be hispanics, trans people, gay people, and autistic people made out to be subhumans to be purged.
The Nazis didn’t start with gas chambers, first they had to rile the population up to hate Jews all on their own – or to regard the disabled as “parasites”. Meanwhile in the present, we have politicians calling gay and trans people “groomers” and brainworms jackass calling autistic people, essentially, hopeless.
get ready, this sort of thing is only going to get more common. And if it doesn’t happen quickly enough, it’s entirely likely the
brownshirtsMAGAts will “help it along”.Killing a guy because you don’t agree with who he loves is fucking disgusting.
Land of the free my ass.
Read the story and be pissed by how any news outlet phrases it in any way other than “this man was murdered in a pre-meditated manner after prolonged harassment from psychotic neighbors who previously murdered their dog”
Rorschach was right about one thing, people like this shouldn’t get to go to jail. Rabid Animals get put down.
Same. The headline is journalistic malpractice at best. Joss was murdered by a homophobic terrorist.
Like, I get you want to make sure information is true, but if a direct witness to the event said, “This was hate crime as fuck,” you’d at least throw in an “allegedly” statement in there…
Absolutely an injustice in framing. Despicable.
Lawless Texas gun nuts kill again.
Damn.
Dale, Luanne, Lucky and now John Redcorn.
