  Joss told KSAT he had issues with electricity after the home was vandalized.

  “Mistakes happen, man. And it’s my fault for, I guess, leaving something on,” Joss said. “Or if somebody came in and did something, who knows?”

  House vandalized, then burned down, then shot dead… feels like a pattern of someone was desperate to get him off the property. No way this is coincidence.

    Im not saying it’s not something more sinister, but this can 100% be a coincidence.

    Home is vandalized and copper is stolen, leading to electrical problems. He comes home, either leaves the propane stove on by accident, leaves the gas tank on by accident, leaves a bad circuit on by accident, someone comes in and does something, or just random coincidence that that’s when an electrical fire starts.

    Flash forward 6 months and he’s probably still crushingly low, gets into an argument with his neighbour that gets hotter than it would’ve if he was feeling better and he’s in dumb fuck America so everyone has a point and click murder tool in their waist band and gets killed.

    We don’t even know if they were the same houses.

      You’re right, incorrect of me to say it “can’t be”, but still quite an odd near direct escalating string of events imo. I had assumed it was the same property because both articles mention a “south side San Antonio home”

        I mean, if it was a sinister plot, the neighbour getting into an argument and shooting him on his front line in broad daylight would be a wildly inept conclusion.

      Holy fuck. I’m glad his husband was able to escape… You know, I’m staunchly anti-death penalty but I’m prepared to put my principles aside for this one. Hang this asshole at high noon.

    I read they had received arson threats. Their dog died in the fire. Then the dog’s skull and harness were displayed like a trophy in front of the house.

    It was premeditated, hate crime arson.

      (Followed by murder)

      Undoubtedly at this point. There’s been a lot of horrific details coming out since I posted my initial conjecture.

    It turns out that’s likely the case, at least going by the surviving husband’s public statement.
