That's sad.

I guess the last time I heard from her was on Alan Alda's podcast during the pandemic, where she said that whenever she goes out and sees someone without the mask, she tells them to wear a mask.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Jonathan Ross, 59 (actor known for voice work on King of the Hill).

Murdered by his neighbor in what appears to be the culmination of a homophobic harassment campaign.

Knowing Texas, the investigation will be slow-rolled and while we have a hate-crimes law on the books, it won't be pursued.

Sympathies to his husband and family.

You appear to have nailed it.

Quote:The San Antonio Police Department released a statement saying, "Our investigation has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that the Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation."

Years of harassment and an eyewitness account that the shooter was yelling homophobic slurs just before killing Ross don't count as 'evidence', I suppose.
