From what I can tell, this region is notorious for gangstalking, especially against gay men. Many of these reports could likely be falsified to justify the idea of killing him.
I don't see any inconsistency about the fire if the article itself says that the cause is under investigation. Joss believed it's possible he made a mistake, but it seems more likely to be caused by the same people that threatened arson, and possibly the same people that murdered him.
Thank you for this write up. I had been trying to put this into words for the past couple of days myself.
Additionally, Jonathan had shown up at a king of the hill panel he wasn’t part of and tried to speak, then was setting up a shoe shine booth outside of the venue? While in Austin he also did a podcast in which he was clearly inebriated and then was asking for rides home on Facebook.
While none of this excuses someone murdering him in any way, all of these things together definitely give me pause and lead me to not necessarily taking the husbands post at face value. I have addicts in my family and it just seems too familiar.
No thanks.
So why mention smollett, then?
Oh damn, im so owned. You owned me so bad.
