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.

Because he was mostly Mexican, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs doesn't consider anybody with less than 1/4 Native ancestry to be Native. Also, the tribes themselves generally only admit people to tribal rolls who have provable 1/4 ancestry in that tribe—so if he's 1/8 Comanche and 1/8 White Mountain Apache, he wouldn't meet the required "blood quantum." There are countless people out there who have at least 1/4 Native ancestry, and "look Indian"; many even live on reservations where they have family and participate in Native culture, but they aren't enrolled in any tribe because their ancestry is spread across multiple tribes.

Blood quantum is a tricky subject—some tribes admit members with less than 1/4 tribal ancestry; others don't, but I'm not going down that rabbit hole today, no no no, LOL.

Thank you for this answer I had no idea! Makes sense it would be complicated.

Even if he was say 1/16th native or something I can see him claiming to be half and getting away with it. Most dark skinned Hispanic people look native to people unfamiliar with seeing indigenous Americans day to day. I'd imagine a lot of Hispanic people got hired to play Indians in tv and movies over the decades because of this (when they weren't hiring Italians that is.)

John Redcorn dying with everyone thinking he was secretly gay all along (because some crazy misunderstanding led them to believe a woman he was involved with when he died was another man) could actually work as a plotline tbh.

Dale: “Welp I always figured. That bag he wore around his neck?” puffs cigarette “Homo code. That’s how the Russians flipped Truman Capote and why we had to replace him with a robot in ‘55.”
Nancy: “Everyone knows gays give the best massages, sug.”
Bill: “Oh oh yeah I-I always knew too! The whole Injun thing he did? It was to look like one of them Village People”.
Peggy: “How did I not know, Hank? I’m always so perceptive about these things! I couldn’t be getting dementia, could I!?!?”

Uh-oh, looks like "Tristan" was veering dangerously close to TERF talking points here.

I thought that at first, but I do not think Silas is her account. She posted it to complain about Silas.

Dale already thought that John Redcorn was gay. The episode My Private Rodeo has Dale finding out his dad is gay. When Nancy is Dale if he's OK with it Dale says something like "Of course I'm OK with it! John Redcorn is gay and I've been friends with him for year!"

....That's super fucking autistic of me but I admittedly liked the show a lot. LOL.

Do you know why Jonathan Joss wasn't registered with any tribe?

A lot of the welfare Indians aren’t, at least here in the north east. Most of the Indians you hear about whining and bitching about white people “stealing land” are these welfare types who don’t/won’t work and are lushes/druggies. Like when you see the ones protesting at Mount Rushmore every once in a while. Look at them and see how trailery they look.
Or they’re privileged kids/grandkids of the casino owners. Hard working middle class Indians and upper middle class Indians voted for Trump overwhelmingly.

Are there advantages to that when you aren't living on a reservation?

Depends on the tribe, region/area, and the individual.

It typically means you aren't related too someone on the Dawes Rolls

Only applies to 5 tribes in the southeast.

Or you're more Spic than Injun.

Bingo.
Or should I say Wingo in this case?

Dawes roll doesn't apply to northeastern, midwestern, or western tribes.

Yep.

Is this how it felt like to be on the old western frontier in the 1800s?

The spirit of the wild west truly never died.

Unrelated, but don't forget Michael Ansara.
He played natives including Cochise, while being of Syrian descent.






I mainly remember him from Star Trek and I Dream of Jeannie (he was married to Barbara Eden at the time)

This is my gun Autism kicking in, but that's a Winchester 1892 he's holding in one photo. They were really popular in Hollywood for making "wild west" films because they remained in production well into the 20th century, but they were actually introduced a bit too late to really see action in the real Old West. John Wayne used them in a lot of his films, particularly with the large loop, and owned quite a few. They remained a popular rifle with law enforcement and prison guards well into the 1930s and 1940s.

What firearms were used in the real historic Wild West? Do we have a history forum?

I dunno queer studies taught me all the cowboys and bandits in the Wild West were actually gay poets ostracized from society though. That’s why they chose the plains as their home. For the orgies.

One’s made before, and during the real historic Wild West

But seriously, lever guns used during the WW were ones such as: the 1860 Henry, Winchester 1866/1873/1876/1885/etc, Marlin 1881/1889/1893/1894/1895/etc, among others.
The 1892 and especially 1894 Winchesters were indeed used during the “dying” west but the west didn’t “die” off as early as people thought.
Red Dead Redemption 1 being set in 1911 isn’t far off from reality.
Hell, Cowboy western type shit was happening up into the 1920’s and even 30’s.

Here’s an article talking about the legendary Colt 1911 pistol and it’s relation to the Wild West.

"Jonathan's life deserves more than just silence". It will soon be one month since the pooner said anything.

Surprised the media hasn't reported the real story

Surprised the media hasn't reported the real story

Why? The media is notorious for reporting an incomplete ‘breaking news story’ full of initial reports and then silently releasing an updated article issuing retractions or clarifications that tell the truth in page 10 after everyone moved on unless the public stays engaged over it. There was at least one publication I posted that did remark that the ‘hate crime’ looked like anything but at least, that will probably be the most we get unless any trial go viral.

A new trailer for the 'new season' came out, the animation is shit, the humor is reddit, Hank calls people 'nepobabies' now, and Toby Huss does a terrible Dale voice. They should have pulled the plug when Johnny died.

In honor of the awful new trailer they posted, I'd like to announce it has been one month of pooner silence and people have noticed.
