A Bellville, Texas man went on a killing spree and murdered 5 family members this past weekend. His fury was so intense that he decapitated his 2-year-old niece with a machete.

A family member told police she believed that anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions. Chron.com reported:
A family dispute pushed Maron Thomas to go on a rampage marked by a fury so intense that he decapitated his 2-year-old niece with a machete after killing her and four other family members, Austin County investigators said Wednesday.
Thomas, 20, was charged Wednesday with capital murder in the shooting deaths of his mother, stepfather, sister, brother and his niece. He remains in the Austin County Jail with bail set at $1 million.
“This is one of the most horrific crimes we’ve had in Austin County,” District Attorney Travis Koehn said. “Austin County is a safe place to live, but unfortunately, we are not immune to the same kinds of crimes that occur in other locations.”
The massacre happened between midnight Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday at the family’s home 7 miles outside the Bellville city limits, on FM 1456 between Buckhorn and Cochran.
Thomas then allegedly burglarized a car and was arrested around 3 a.m. after being caught trying to break into a house a mile and a half away while he was naked, investigators said. A neighbor held him at gunpoint until deputies arrived and arrested him on burglary charges. When deputies arrived, he had put on a pair of exercise shorts…
Thomas’ sister, Ka’Tara Price, 24, of Houston, said she believes anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions. She said she is not aware of him suffering from any mental illness.
The next line of the sister’s remarks that were omitted from this article is as follows:
Thomas’ sister, Ka’Tara Price, 24, of Houston, said she believes anger and Thomas’ conversion to the Muslim religion influenced his actions. She said she is not aware of him suffering from any mental illness.
“It’s anger and pure evilness,” Price said Wednesday night. “He’s always been a very angry person. If he thinks he’s right, he’s right.”
.....
She doesn’t think it’s mental but she describes him as being a very angry person always, thus mental to some degree maybe a part of the problem
Of course this has nothing w/him converting to the murderous, sadistic cult of death. Nothing at all.
Pray for America’s Freedom
There is a special place in hell for this scumbag. The neighbor should have sent him there.
Bellville Multiple Murder Suspect Held on Burglary ChargesOut of Bellville, the scene of a grisly mass killing discovered Sunday at a rural home outside of Bellville, in Austin County, northeast of Houston: One suspect is under arrest on burglary charges, but authorities say they are looking at filing capital murder charges against him in the coming days.
The Houston Chronicle reports that investigators believe 20-year old Maron Thomas shot and killed 5 members of his family, including his biological mother and stepfather (who had been married for 16 years). Also killed were Thomas’ 25-year old sister (who was 6-months pregnant), his 19-year old brother, and his 3-year old niece. 4 of the 5 were found dead of gunshot wounds inside the home, while the body of his brother was found in a wooded area not far from the house, which makes investigators believe that he may have been able to briefly escape his attacker. (as usual the Commie-cal can't count, that is 6 victims)
For now though, Thomas is only being held on burglary charges, after he was found naked, and trying to break into a neighbor’s house. The neighbor held the man at gunpoint until police could arrive, and not once did he mention the deaths of his family while he was being evaluated at a local hospital.
It wasn’t until about 12 hours after his arrest that the murder scene was discovered by other family members. Again, authorities in Austin County say they are working on drawing up capital murder charges against Thomas, who remains in the county jail there.
“Islam has problems but I don’t believe someone converts and it causes them to run amok.”
The only beheadings I know are fisherman cutting heads off fish, shrimpers pulling shrimp heads and Muslims whacking off human heads.
Saying Islam did not influence these murders makes no sense to me. If he did not convert to Islam you can be sure those people would be alive today.
Monsterous.
“while he was “naked”, investigators said.”
There’s the most obvious fact, being naked, that is. muzzies like to bathe themselves prior to going jihad.
Good muzzie by the definition.
Yes, because we all know that Islam is a religion of peace. </disgusted sarcasm>
That, Brug, is a terrible thing to say. It’s the statement of an enabler. Islam attracts confused people like this, creates confused people like this, and by the very kind of tolerance you espouse enables fundamentalism teachings which turn that confusion into murder.
Why were you so quick to answer in that ‘enabling’ way?
As other Freepers and myself have pointed out — Islam attracts such confused people, Islam’s teachings CREATE such confused people.
And ‘tolerance’ and quick excuses such as you provide are the common coin and doctrine in Islam too, so that Islam comes to tolerate those who develop and indoctrinate in the teachings of murderous rage, envy and jealousy.
That this crazy and murdering man had converted to Islam, prior to his murderous rampage, is an inseparable element of the crime.
Dang! He must not have twitched after the neighbor had him covered. We may be looking at a new cure for insanity here.
A copycat beheading.
Islam IS a mental illness.
He invited the Demons of Islam to come in.
From the Houston Chronicle: “Investigator declined to elaborate on the nature of the household dispute, but said a family fight happened on the night of the killings.
“There was an ongoing internal situation within the dynamics of this family,” said Texas Ranger David Maxwell.”
Ya think!
We wrestle not against flesh and blood enemies, but against the powers of darkness. The "anger" and whatever leading up to this guy's "conversion" made him a ripe target for the cult of islam. What we call "Mental Illness" is more than just a misfiring of synapses or a chemical imbalance in the brain. This is a monumental struggle between GOOD and EVIL, folks.
As the writers of The Dead Sea Scrolls called it "The Epic Battle Between The Children of Light and The Children Of Darkness".
I don't make this stuff up.
It appears you are Hell bent to blame the religion of decapitation for this, and I must agree that I would rather take the easy way, and do the same as you are, but I don’t believe it’s the truth. The truth is what we seek.
The guy was nuts to convert to the religion of pieces, and he was nuts to murder, and he was nuts to decapitate his Niece. He was nuts to be running around naked, he was nuts to try robbing a home, but he hasn’t so far been reported as screaming “Allah Akhbar”, and he didn’t blow himself up.
The many stories over the years about the nut Christians murdering in the name of GOD, or the nut cultists in Africa, Haiti, South America, Chicago, and other areas of the World murdering in the name of their cult belief don’t mean they too were secretly harboring Islamic, Koranic prejudices, and wackoism’s.
More than likely his family past, and present deserve some of the credit for turning their backs on obvious signs of instability projected earlier in the course of this disturbed life form. It’s difficult to believe this guy could not have shown signs of irrationality above and beyond converting to Islam prior to this action.
Projection is a clue. I noticed in the article family members saying there weren’t any signs prior to this that he could have done such a thing, but such readily offered insights often mean they are projecting to cover their butts. They knew.
I just heard on the news this morning that Nancy Kerrigan’s brother, who was apparently living with his parents, murdered his father at home last night. Per the news reports, there were plenty of warning signs, and no way the parents should have let him live there.
Our society has been conditioned to be too accepting of mental instability. Even normal intelligent families often stick their heads in the sand, rather than state the obvious, that their relative is hopelessly defective and needs to be institutionalized. Of course, a big part of the conditioning process is the leftist control of government, which has resulted in the government policy of “mainstreaming” even the patently crazy and unstable members of our society. It has become nearly impossible from a legal standpoint to forcibly institutionalize someone *before* they kill or maim an innocent person, no matter how huge and numerous the warning signs.
It is that some still stand too ready to EXCUSE Islam of its murderous flaws.
Then you stand to blame and smear all for the fault of one man and the flaws of Islam. You are indeed confused.
