Newlyweds Jonathan Joss and Tristan Kern de Gonzales held each other in their final moment together Sunday.
Joss, 59, the voice actor best known as John Redcorn on “King of the Hill,” had just been shot in the head in front of their San Antonio home.
“I didn’t want him to struggle and everything, so I decided to tell him I loved him. And despite the severity of everything, he was able to look up at me and acknowledge what I was saying, so I know he heard me,” said Kern de Gonzales, 32. “I just kept telling him: ‘It’s OK. You need to cross over. You don’t need to keep struggling. You need to go ahead and cross over easy.’”
Kern de Gonzales said Joss’ killer also had final words for the actor. He called him and his husband “jotos,” a Spanish slur for gay people.
“I’ve been called that word while I was sitting on a bench with Jonathan, eating lunch,” Kern de Gonzales said. “And I got called that holding Jonathan while he died.”
Shortly after, police arrested one of the pair’s neighbors, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, 56, in connection with Joss’ killing.
Shot him in the head and then called them a gay slur while he bled out in his husband’s arms, but its not a hate crime.
I hope america ends in ashes
American here. Me too. The whole system has been corrupt for decades
☝️A guy condemning prejudice and hate against a group of people then proceeds to make a prejudicial and hateful comment against a group of people.
E: I forget that this c/ is “fuck America and everyone in it”. If I point out hypocrisy or defend the idea that not everyone in the US is a shithead I get downvoted to hell.
“The only acceptable bigotry is my bigotry” is the theme of social media.
I saw a pretty highly upvoted thread where they were trying to brainstorm new slurs. But it’s okay since they were targeting people that use AI and since those people are unpopular then it’s okay to be bigoted assholes against them. /s
Yes, the “If you hate Nazis/Racists/Murderers/etc , you’re just as bad as them” card. Leave that one back in highschool bud ☝🏽🤓.
Lol. Doing it again. No, that’s not what I said at all. But I guess if you’re jumping on the all Americans must die bandwagon too, knock yourself out.
America isn’t a people. America is a system of brutality and violence built on racism, genocide, and exploitation. Ashes are better than it deserves.
You’re describing the entire world.
