I've been watching King of the Hill at work (all shift sometimes) recently and it's gotten to be real difficult to see the antagonistic characters on the show in the same light. Cartoons are supposed to be an exaggeration of their real life counterparts. Knowing what texas is harboring in real life really washes out the humor these antagonists are supposed to bring.

Same with Parks and Rec. For example, the episode making fun of people who think fluoride in water is a conspiracy
Every day I become a little more like Ron Swanson.
Is that really a good thing
Similarly, Dr. Strangelove hits different now.
Joss' murderer has a name and an address. He is currently under house arrest.
Wait house fucking arrest!!! Are you fucking kidding me? He murdered someone and it definitely was fucking hate crime and he isn't sitting in a fucking jail cell. Fuck Texas and fuck the police.
He's out on a $200k bond. More than twice his home's value.
You murder someone you shouldn't get a bond, especially in this case.
I hate to be that guy in this case but he has not been convicted, and so he is an alleged murderer. He deserves the pre-trial treatment we would like to be given to someone who has been wrongly accused.
I wish him a speedy trial and a very fucking long execution.
He deserves the pre-trial treatment we would like to be given to someone who has been wrongly accused.
Compare his treatment to Luigi's.
Part of this, even if Luigi did nothing and shouldn’t be in jail in the first place for something someone else did, is the culprit in that murder was caught on camera acting with intent and there is no hearsay about what happened.
Murder charges frequently do not allow for bail.
The state will not punish a christian for killing a brown indigenous man.
Alleged. Evidence and things still need to come together. Innocent until proven guilty, or a flight risk.
Still get due process. I'm not defending his actions, but it still needs to be proven in court.

The fucking account from his husband is the most clear cut hate crime shit.
They came home to their dead dogs skull in their driveway before the assailant approached them, yelling homophobic slurs, and shot him. Also, someone in their neighborhood set their house in fire earlier this year.
Fuck that county. I hope that king of the hill money gets used to turn that fucking county admin inside out.
"someone"
I think we can make a good guess as to who that might have been

And they would have kept it as a “non hate crime” if the victim had not been a part of two popular TV shows…
They literally werent even gonna arrest the killers.
Christian places are not safe for us.
A christian church is a loud homophobic stayement, and shoukd be treated as such.

In a press conference on June 5, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said that the department's earlier statement saying there was "no evidence" Joss' murder was "related to his sexual orientation" was "way premature" and "before we had any real information."
Still lying.
"While it may be true that we told a lie before we had evidence, we really wanted that first lie to be true, so it's cool, right?

So according to the Chief, their detective did not interview the surviving victim of the crime before talking to the press. Snappy police work there. "We're not bigots who enabled this murder by ignoring the prior complaints of the victims, we're just really stupid. Golly!"
I will never go back to the U.S but especially Texas. Texas is a shit hole
I currently recommend staying out entirely because of the paranoid war against "immigration" that has made our borders openly hostile to everybody, but if that ever changes there's plenty of cities that are only as shitty as global average and if the national parks survive they are unmatched.
