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.

You might add the part about drugs. A cue in the article is that he was waltzing around naked. This seems to be a pretty common side effect of PCP.

This is quite disturbing to the police, because PCP users are in their own world. They may be walking around, and suddenly come to a halt, and just stand there. Most people assume they do this because a cop is pointing his gun at them, but that is not the case.

Alternatively, he did use a gun in an orderly enough way to kill people, which goes against the theory. But I’m sure it will come out in the wash.

He was demon possessed. Not mentally ill. Those eyes show it.

You are so right! The problem between the Arabs and the Jews dates back to the time of Abraham when Sarah was not patient enough to wait for God's plan for her to have a child to come to fruition. She gave Hagar to Abraham, Ishmael was born, and the rest is history. Mohamed only played upon the distrust and hatred that was already there.

We’ll have to fight every damned one of these basturds before the gunsmoke clears...

You are absolutely right, and those ragheads have never REALLY played that all-American game called 'Cowboys & Muslims', ;)

"Anger" and "conversion to the Muslim religion" are inextricably linked...

[newfreep]

The Koran is truly the "Book of Satanic Verses".

Anyone remotely defending this cultish book, islam-for-mooslums or trying to give credibility to it as the moral equivalency to Christianity is pure evil and needs to be exported to their utopia of sand demons.

The question remains:

Is he crazy because he’s Muslim,

or is he Muslim because he’s crazy?

[Charles Martel]

Yes, especially if his conversion occurred while he was doing time for another crime.

Although Maron Thomas' surviving family members have not explicitly mentioned that, my money is on a "prison conversion", too.

[Gondring]

This I don’t pin on Islam. He could have converted to any faith. Being a mental case came first.

Come on...itsn't nekkid burglary commanded in the Koran? ;- )

I think he was upset that he didn't get an apostrophe in his name like his sister. Let me fix that...

You're going with the odds, not the longshot.

[RaceBannon]

Look folks, while most of the posts have strong points to consider, if this man had converted to being a Bible believing Baptist Fundamentalist and had a genuine conversion, beheading family members would be the last act of reaction to their rejection of his faith.

Same with Judaism, Mormonism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jainism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and even Wiccan.

The only religion that would promote this barbarism is Islam. Those who want to claim that he ws already nuts, well, what set him off then?

Peanut allergies?

[Mich Patriot]

Agreed. Kill the assh0le now.

"This I don’t pin on Islam. He could have converted to any faith. Being a mental case came first."

Islam recruits, radicalizes and enables the most violent and antisocial urges of this criminal and unstable type.

The news has been full of similar Muslim "conversion" violence.

When have you last heard of a convert to Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism or Hinduism moved by his new "religion" to mass slaugther?

apparently only 5 or 6 people like us on this thread are thinking today

“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,” Casey said.

[RoadTest]

Deport them all. Now.

[naturalized]

What better place for demons to find a home, especially an empty, well-swept one? Why do you think Jesus put an emphasis on visiting prisoners? Mental illness, prison violence, Islam - they are only symptoms of an underlying condition - the presence of evil.

[highlander_UW]

Agreed. Kill the assh0le now.

I can't agree with you. He's entitled to a fair trial. I'm just saying that while he's waiting for his trial he doesn't seem a good candidate to be released back into the general public.

[stevie_d_64]

We would be acting stupidly, if we jumped too quickly to any conclusions...

Oh, wait.../sarc

Whew, that was close...
