"The husband of Jonathan Joss, the slain King Of The Hill voice actor who was shot dead by his neighbor Sunday, posted a statement about the murder on Facebook, attributing the killing to homophobia. Joss’ widower, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, says that he and his late husband were repeatedly harassed by neighbors, who allegedly burned down their San Antonio home, killing one of their dogs. The attack followed years of 'threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire.' Though these threats were reported to law enforcement, 'nothing was done.'

" 'My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home,' the statement reads. 'That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.' "

#StandingRock -- #Police gang broke hip of Comanche water protector, now Bismarck officer facing justice

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, September 28, 2024

BISMARCK, #NorthDakota -- "When a gang of thirty law enforcement chased and pounced on Comanche water protector #EricPoemoceah -- Eric cried out in pain and told them they had broken his hip, but they laughed at him, and made him walk to an ambulance.

"Now, an appeals court has returned the case to the district court, as Eric seeks justice. It has been more than seven years after the Standing Rock camps were brutally cleared by law enforcement on Feb. 22, 2017."

#Commanche #WaterProtector #Poemoceah to police: "I know you have a job to do and a family to provide for, but why do it with protecting oil? That’s all we’re trying to do sir, is protect—protect the water. I know—I know you’re looking at me and I know you just shook your head yes because you have a heart. You have a soul and so do we know—you look like a very prayerful man. Why don’t—why don’t you be honorable and set down your badge in front of 6,100 people."
