I decided not to draw a cartoon about Jonathan Joss's murder this week — well, at least not just yet, anyway.
The accused murderer's friends are putting their version of events out now. Not surprisingly, when Joss and his husband discovered the skull and harness of their dog put on display at their burned-down home and "began yelling and crying in response to the pain" of it, whatever they were yelling was not likely to have been kindly to the people responsible for it.
It will be up to a jury to decide how credible — and relevant — the defendant's counterclaims are that Joss exhibited disruptive behavior prior to his home burning down.
If the neighbors had filed complaints against Mr. Joss with the San Antonio Police Department, it is incumbent upon the SAPD to bring them forward to explain why they don't believe Joss's murder was a hate crime.
