Did you meanHe is obviously insane
How the hell do you know that? Because it couldn't possibly be becasue he's MUSLIM?
He was naked because he didn't want to be caught in bloody clothes. Sounds like a rational act to me. And the fact that the family had ongoing fights doesn't sound like mental illness to me. You don't have big family fights with crazy members of the family.
Mental issues are often heriditary in origon.
Much of the entire family may well be nutz.
I wonder if god told him to do it? Like the mother killing her children in TX.
It is Texas folks.
This is normal behavior in Texas?
No.
BELLVILLE 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.
Koehn said he has not decided whether to seek the death penalty.
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.
Investigators 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.
Killed were Thomas' biological mother, Debra Phea
rse Washington, 54; stepfather, George T. Washington, 69; sister, Kiana Shree Phearse, 25; brother, Cedric Thomas, 19; and niece, Khalilah Chambers-Massey, who was Kiana Phearse's daughter. Contrary to prior reports, Kiana Phearse was not pregnant, Austin County Sheriff's Sgt. Paul Faircloth said.
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.

At the risk of putting myself in the same catagory with some other posters here....what religion was this sick creep?
Koehn said he has not decided whether to seek the death penalty.
Seriously?
Dude needs a new job if he's "not sure".
This is normal behavior in Texas?
No.
A Texan is more likely to tie you to a pick-up truck and drag you to death, or start a fake war so he can blow you up with really supper-sized bombs.....

I thought that the death penalty was used for jaywalking in Texas.
Decapitation of a 2 year old wouldn't qualify?

Those things DID happen....no one said "routinely"....not even you when asking for proof.
But feel free to try to move those goalposts.

As one can see from your first post in response you DID in fact quote the original statement where in DUMB ASS 1 posted that it was a regular thing in Texas. You being DUMB ASS 2. And as anyone can see by reading my ENTIRE response and not the highlighted part you tried to use, I am pointing out it is not a routine event or occurrence in Texas.
