King of the Hill’ voice actor Jonathan Joss killed in Texas shooting after argument with neighbor​

Actor Jonathan Joss — best known for his voice work on the iconic animated TV comedy “King of Hill” was shot dead by a neighbor in Texas, according to a report.

Joss, who voiced “John Redcorn” on the long-running cartoon, got into a argument with the neighbor at his home in San Antonio Sunday night when the neighbor pulled out a gun and shot him several times, according to police.

The unnamed gunman then fled the scene in a vehicle but was arrested by police just a block from the residence.
 
I scrolled past this thread a few times over the last week or so not really caring that much because I always kind of hated John Redcorn in King of the Hill but I saw there was a shit ton of replies so I thought I'd check it out. I'm glad I did that was a wild ride. A pitchfork waving meth head, a psycho grifting pooner, in home redneck pyromancy. I hope the Mexican dude gets off easy. That guy seemed like he'd become nothing but a dangerous, psychotic, drugged out menace to the neighbourhood.

Hank doesn't look like he's aged at all.
Bobby looks like he's halfway to cosplaying the frontman from smash mouth, peggy looks like she got breast implants, aged a bit and has that wide eyed BPD stare and hank looks like he's trying to turn into that hal guy from the episode where they were doing bills septic tank

That said somehow the pooner manages to be even more batshit than I expected. No wonder the neighbor was supposedly trying to shoot her if thats really what happened. She's absolutely a psycho nightmare to live next door to and no doubt was making a point of causing even more problems than joss did. This woman screams BPD wackjob

Uh-oh, looks like "Tristan" was veering dangerously close to TERF talking points here.
Men don't know how to work vaginas cause they don't have one! says the idiot pooner who claims cocks are easy to work despite not having one. If anything at best this makes her sound like a whore who sucked more cocks than she can count and thinks that makes her an expert. The very thing shes accusing others of. She reeks of impotent marvin the martian you make me so very angry! pooner dood energy

Oof, that's rough. Seems like he only started spiraling in the past couple of years. I wonder if shacking up with the pooner actually precipitated his decline or was just a symptom of it.
Could be both, they're not necessarily mutually exclusive. When crazy gets involved with crazy they tend to make each other spiral into being more batshit and crazy tends to attract crazy like a magnet

I was hoping this was a troll, but it seems to be a real fb account with real family members who are mutual friends with Jonathan's account. Possibly the blood family?
Isn't this something law enforcement or the coroners office is supposed to notify you of in an actual official capacity, like literally by law to tell you this stuff? Shouldn't be hard for the coroners office to get ahold of her

I've seen claims Joss had 4 children, including a son named Joseph born in 1987 (older than Tristan), but I can't verify this.
a son named joseph born in the mid 80s? Damn, whatever else you can say about him he was really dedicated to the john redcorn role
 
The only interesting update in this case was Tristan's post, over a week ago, claiming that "Jonathan would want everyone, every community he touched, every soul he moved to have a chance to honor him, mourn him, and celebrate him in their own way, in their own time."

Which seems to be an excuse to use none of the over $22K USD GoFundMe money on a funeral, as there have been no further updates on her or Jonathan's accounts.

It's the narrow urethra. ;)

I think they want to keep some level of recognizability with such an iconic character. Bobby doesn't look much different either really. Just taller. He's still a round faced butterball. I think if they messed with the designs too much fans wouldn't like it.
Pooner has made an additional 10k off of the gofundme since the shooting.

That will buy a lot of meth. Meanwhile hubby gets tossed in the communal bone pit.
 
The systems that were supposed to protect him failed him
>muh racism
>muh homophobia

The only systems that should have been responsible for him were mental health and drug rehabilitation, but the decision to change always begins at home. The only one who failed him here was his wife.
 
Like I said.
If it had happened a week before…No one would’ve cared. Only because of the recent news of KOTH Season 14 and the fact it happened on the first day of “Pride Month” is the ONLY reason it blew up this bad.

It’s faded off now but you’ll have losers claiming it was a hate crime forever now.
No matter how many times it gets debunked.
If the Pooner got shot too, it would’ve been totally different.
 
It sucks, because I like KoTH and thought the John Redcorn joke was funny for the first couple of seasons, but I never realized just how fucking nutty Joss was. On the other hand, that's kind of what you get when you're ready to challenge anyone to fight for anything. Eventually someone who's willing to take you on and fuck you up is gonna come along.
 
The truth of his belligerent behavior and mental health deterioration is finally getting some headlines

Long before Jonathan Joss was killed, there was trouble on Dorsey Street​

Neighbors say the actor's death was no hate crime but the result of a long-simmering feud fueled by Joss' threats and erratic behavior.​

No updates on the fate of the shooter.

In a more civilized time, this would have had no witnesses like Ken McElroy.
The funny thing about Native American history is that half of it is about slaughtering and cannibalizing the other half lol.
If they hadn't been so belligerent towards each other, they might have even chased off YT, or at least been able to cut a better deal when they lost.
