Death Row Inmate Blinds Himself
January 10th, 2009
A death row inmate convicted of killing and pulling out the hearts of his ex-wife and small children in 2004 has pulled out and eaten his own eye. Authorities, who say Andre Thomas had already gouged out his other eye before his 2004 trial, was treated after the recent incident at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, Texas. The 25-year-old has been moved to a psych unit. “He will finally be able to receive the mental health care that we had wanted and begged for from day one,” his trial lawyer Bobbie Peterson-Cate tells the Sherman Herald Democrat. “He is insane and mentally ill. It is exactly the same reason he pulled out the last one.” Thomas had been convicted of stabbing his 13-month-old daughter to death in a triple murder that also left his wife and 4-year-old son slain. He later turned himself in, telling authorities he had stabbed himself, too, put the victims’ hearts in his pocket and later thrown them into the trash. Thomas was found bleeding from the face in his cell last month when prison staff discovered his second eye missing.

I HOPE I NEVA RUN INOT THIS CRAZY GUY..HE’S SICK FOR SURE.

Rel G, the headline says he is blind.
yall would wait til the last minute 2 put him in a mental hospital. if he’s literally pulling his own family’s hearts out, that says “YO, I”M HAZARDOUS 2 MYSELF!”
Should have taken the both out! Nasty!
He did take both eyes out. That is what the story is about. The photo shown is one taken prior to his taking out the second eye.
This guy had to be demon possessed to do the things he did. His wife must have been kind of “slow” too.
PEOPLE PLS PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AND REALIZE THAT THE PICTURE IS OBVIOUSLY AN OLD PICTURE *BEFORE* HE TOOK OUT HIS SECOND EYE. NOW BOTH EYES ARE MISSING. HE IS OBVIOUSLY INSANE AND WILL NEVER BE WALKING THE STREETS AGAIN. JUST A VERY SAD THING THAT HE WAS ABLE TO HURT OTHER PPL ALSO.
THE SAME DEMONS THAT ARE IN HIM ARE IN ALL THAT KILL AND HATE!! SOME PEOPLE HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH ..”GOD”.TO FIGHT THEM OFF. AND OTHERS INVITE THEM IN AND LIVE WITH THEM IN PEACE, IT IS A EVERYDAY BATTLE WITH DEMONS YOU LOSE SOME WARS AND YOU WIN SOME. BUT I THANK..” GOD”.. THAT I CAN CALL ON HIM TO SEND ME THE EXTRA HELP WHEN I NEED IT!!
This is a very sad story.
This is devastating..this is my first time hearing about what he did to his family. Its very upseting. He needs an exorcist cause obviously the devils got him. I pray for his soul.
gosh and yummy
I just threw up in my mouth. That is the nastiest story I have heard this year. Some people aren’t paying attention, if he is on death row that means he was already convicted of course he won’t get a bond, silly!
I feel sick!!!!
yuck! sick bastard.
wow i cant see why some people would do something that heartless
He should have been put in a psychiatric unit after the triple homicide. It shouldn’t take all this for the system to realize that someone is this crazy!!!
this goes 2 show u that the system in texas is all f**kd up. if u knew he did this 2 his wife and kids that should tell u that he’s mental.
Down right nasty!!!!!!!!I did need to hear this, yuck!
TREATED THE WRONG WAY!! HOW CAN YOU MISS THIS GUY NEEDED HELP THAN JUST A JAIL CELL. THE STATE GETS MONEY FOR EACH BODY THEY RECEIVE . JUST A MONEY BANK JUST HOW MANY OTHER NUTS ARE IN JAIL INSTEAD OF HOSPITALS.
This young man needed help a long time ago before he got married and had children.
I pray for him and may God Bless his soul.
Oh wow,
this fool is super sick….Rel G it’s clear that you didnt read what it said, it said that he pulled out his other eye, and it is clear that he will not be getting out he killed his wife and kids…this man should have been put to sleep he is a cold heart killer….Lord please help the sick and mental people in this world
omfg fck it man!!! that sick bastard needs to be fckin killed and to be burnt in hell for this sht!!

SICK IS NOT THE WORD HE NEEDS SERIOUS DANG HELP AND THATS VERY SAD WHAT HE DONE TO HIS OWN FAMILY AND THE CHLDREN VERY VERY SAD SAD HE IS A VER NASTAY NASTAY MAN THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN HIS LIFE INSTEAD OF LETTING HIM SIT ON DEATH ROW
Typical negro behavior , negro males need to change the way they live
Jakreeka,
This had nothing to do with being a negro or a male, this had to do with an extremely sick individual who obviously had mental problems. People in this country period need to learn to recognize some of the signs of mental ilness, then we might be able to prevent things like this from happening.
Hes not a bastard, nasty or stupid, he nedes help. Let him see Jesus only, only HE can satisfy. Lets all pray for him.
dang ! that guy is nuts…… crazy..
that is a sick dude what the hell is wrong with him he is crazii
The evil spirits have become strong again for they know that they dont have much time left before our Lord returns to do away with all sin. Truly friends we must blame Satan and his minions!!
Jakreeka is a white person pretending to be black. Notice how all her responses are RACIST?
THIS MAN IS SICK TO DEATH…HOW CAN YOU JUST TAKE SOMEBOBY LIFE LIKE DAT..ESPECIALLY A LIFE DAT BELONGS TO YOU…..SO HEART BROKEN…MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE WIFE AND KIDS FAMILY 8230;.OM G… …I ’M IN SHOCK NEVER DID I EVER HEARD SOMETHING DAT WAS SO HEART RACKING
he dont need help he to be dead or someone should kick his ass real bad were he feel like he is dead
i just think its sad for what he did to his wife and kids the pain his kids were going threw at the time what was his wife doing while he was killing the the baby there should havebeen some kind of warnig while she was dating him i dont care about him pulling out his eye he can die for all i care about the wife and kids and what her family has to go threw
Did that guy Houston do this to himself.?
Jesus .. why did you feel the need to post this sick stuff… shock value.?
poor guy,many people talked about this news on the forum on tall dating site http://Tallmingle.com ,seems it is a break news there.
They need to go ahead and put this guy out of his misery. He is on death row for a reason. Trying to prove whether he is crazy or not is just a waste to tax-payer’s money. He murdered his family, and he has even caused harm to himself, so go ahead and give him that lethal injection and be done with it.
WOAH i R3AllY r3ALLY sHOULdNt hAV3 r3AD dAt wHiL3 3AtiNg
Why is he still living? He should have put to death the day after the trial.
This man should have never been put on death row in the first place. He should have been in a psych ward in the first place. But soon as a black man commits a murder they want to put them to death instead of evaluating this man. It obvious he has a mental problems when he cut his wife & kids heart out & put it in his pocket! My God!
THIS MAN IS STUPID WHY WOULD HE EAT HIS OWN EAT AND THEN STAB HIS 13 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND THEM TAKE HIS WIFE HEART OUT..HE SHOULD NOT BE LIVING. HS SHOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW….
THIS MAN IS STUPID WHY WOULD HE EAT HIS OWN EYE AND THEN STAB HIS 13 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND HE TAKE HIS WIFE HEART OUT..HE SHOULD NOT BE LIVING. HS SHOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW….
And why is this news……… This dude should have went to the crazy house from the gate this just goes to show that the legal system is Texas aint ??%~…….. this whole story is stupid, not news but a sick situation you know.
Peace out…
Idont understand how you can do that to your kids and wife . That is something you just dont do . I think that they should have kill him that day . How can you cut their heart out then throw it in the garbage. Instead of him pulling out his eyes he should have just killed himselk. He is not going to be blessed he is going to hell for doin something like that . God is not please with him for taking someone life espically god;s little angels.

dalmer was eating people left and right 230;jakr eekaR 30;.chec k your race to find out more shocking details…search under cannibals….you won’t see negro there…
This is a sick and terrible tragedy all around. This man is obviously insane and afflicted by the demons. There is no way a human in their right mind would do these atrocious acts. Only God can save his soul and we have no judgement in that. Let’s be grateful that he’s off the streets and cannot harm anyone else.
Now, this is one man that really needs to stay in jail forever and NEVER be able to walk the streets freely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T
That’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is as bad or WROSE as the BTK murders iin Kansas and the Hanniabl Lector movies combined together !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!
This is pure evil in its worst form. But information such as this wasn’t necessary in my opinion. It’s enough that this monster has gotten some attention self mutlating himself, disgusting! Evil is running rampant in this world. Jesus have mercy on us all. The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? When the wicked, even mine enemies, and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. This world needs prayer each and every day. I pray for the family of the victims.
If this animal could do this to people that he once loved, what could he do to the rest of society? He can not be rehabilitated so placement in a mental hospital will not suffice and would be a gross waste of taxpayer money. He needs to be euthanized just like all the other mad dogs!
this guy is really sick how can you do that to any body child or family member you deserve to die… they should of given him help along time ago.. and sorry to the family who had to go through this horrible feeling..and i hope he rest in piss thats how i feel about it..
NoW U JuSt rAn oUt wEn u aTe yOuR EyE BAlL U R VeRy vErY SiCk!!!!!!!!!!
this niccas insane, yea a str8 fool
I agree with some of the posts, but then some of them are just plain ignorant and degrading. The guy obviously has a serious mental disorder that progressed over the years. I’m sure he had “signs”, but people probably just brushed it off, until one day he just snapped which caused fatalities and him injuring himself. My heart goes out to him as well as his family. Before I started pursing my counseling degree I felt the same way as most of you– DEATH PENALTY…but then you also have to realize that he may have a disorder that is far beyond control, but it is sad that lives we lost in the process.
Brownsuger save all that compassion and counseling degree sympanthy for when he puts yo family members hearts in his pocket!
You know what this is purley sad…its just sad. The devil is working young people and we all need to pray because, its working in my family to , But if we cant learn to bind that enemy we wil become a victium of the same hance crime…Please take care of yourself’s…
that is gross who in there right mind will eat there own eye ball… like seriously dude that is sick he needs help
As I sit here and read this article I don’t feel as though I should judge or call this man names. As I read this article I knew instantly that this man needed help. If we as a society would stop being so judgmental and start praying and helping each other this world would be a better place. In the bible it says that no sin is greater than the other.Sin is sin. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. GOD MADE YOU SPECIAL AND HE LOVES YOU JUST FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only God’s Forgivness is important.
Y r we still paying ur tax dollarsfor this manaic…..sad and hes one of uz …..which makes it worst …..gone put that dude out of his misery…cutting out hearts…eating eyes…PUT HIM DOWN……
I think sometjing should be done about this and noyt only white people go crazy bu there are black people too
this shows some ppl have serious mental issues….
This is truly sad. The young man has obviously been severely mentally ILL for a very long time. It’s sad that he should be judged by those unfit to even make a comment other than one of pure shock! That he had to go to those EXTREMES to get someone’s attention about his severe mental imbalance, speaks volumes about what is really going on…. Then, instead of behind those dreadful bars, he should have been in a mental hospital for the criminally insane a long, long time ago!!!!!!!!!
Another reason that strong family units are very important. Someone in his family should have seen that he was mentally incapable and JUST MAYBE he would have gotten the help he so desperately needed; before it even came to his murdering his family and now this HORRIBLE SITUATION! He needs HELP Y’ALL. Pray for them all, because there go you and I but for the grace of THE ALMIGHTY!!!! Oh, what a difference a day makes… Peace
This is not an issue of black or white,but about someone really needing something. If this was someone in your family how would you feel? Although what he did was wrong in so many differnt ways. You never know the mindset of some people. I think we all need to have a little compassion. We don’t know this man, all we know is what we have read in this article. We don’t know what drove him to do this. Come on people let’s think before we speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRAZY SICK
Crazy guy
MAN THAT DUDE NEEDED HELP WHEN HE DID WHAT HE DID TO HIS WIFE AND KIDS WELL TO ME HE SHOULD OF KILLED HISSELF B4 HE THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING THEM HE MIGHT NOT BE RIGHT BE HE GOT A DEATH WISH THATS ALL I CAN SAY HE INSANE

Tashmirah_Davis16@yahoo.com
Yea this dude needs prayer. Thats sad that he felt the need to do that not only to himself but his family wow!
everyone has problems and need sometype of help at sometime or the other if they would have given him the help he needed when he ask for it in the first place he would not have done the things that he did and would not be in the shape he is now and by the way ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE SO UNTIL YOU PEOPLE GET THE TITLE OF JESUS THEN SHUT UP AND PRAY FOR THE POOR GUY
I do believe in the death penlty, What I do not understand is why there is a waiting list to put a person to death? I think it is too much money being waste on the people that have been found guilty and they are living off the tax payers money for free. He is screaming for death!! Why are we letting him suffer? He is clearly stating he wants to die, If he was in Singapore he would have been dead the following Friday. Why are we playing with murders? Because they know they can killed people and get a slap on the wrist. The only people that truly suffer are the victims and their families.
My Mama always said my eyes were bigger than my stomach, but never IN my stomach. Interesting LOL.
Those of you that believe in prayer, Please pray for him.
Man this guy gives the saying “an eye for an eye” a whole new meaning!
I don’t believe in prayer, I don’t believe this man was possessed by a demon. This guy should’ve been put in a mental clinic a long time ago.
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW WUT A SHAME
Please people lets just pray for this guy…
now thats just nasty and who would want to do thatto sumone mental or not they just need to put his ass to sleep for that cuz he’s suffering!!!
aww man thats all bad for that guy i feel sorry for him
aww man thats all bad for that guy i feel sorry for him thats s*%t is sooo Crazy!
I JUST GOT ONE QUESTION..WHY ARE THE PEOPLE THATS KILLING PEOPLE STILL LIVING? THAT CAT DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE AFTER WHAT HE DID…SICK OR NOT HE DESERVES TO DIE MAN…WHAT KIND OF GOVERNMENT WE SERVING ANYWAYS?
A how tha fu(k cuz jus sit there and pull his fu(k!n eyes out. Dat $h!t had 2 be painful. Den dis ni99a sat there and ate da $h!t like it was a full course meal and said to hisself dis a good a$$ eyeball I aint had a human body part in awhile got d@mn dat thang was tasty.
Now he really left his children and family heartless how could he be so heartless
Yo! This is mad crazy! Im in shock right now. How can someone actually pull out their OWN eye and EAT it! That’s some insane s#*t. That’s seems impossible to me! He needs help and never need to leave prison or get bail. He doesn’t deserve it. For killing his family and puttin harm to himself, he needs to be put in the electric chair 230;R 30;̷ 0;… ;… .I can’t believe what i just read. That’s crazy. I have sympathy for the wife and the two children, and may God bless them dearly.
this man is truly lost and needs help more than we can imagine….killing him will not bring his family back…and he has probably been reaching out for help long before he thought to kill them….mental illness is no joke…believe that!
THIS MAN IS A STRAIGHT UP FUCCKIN’ PSYCHO!! LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!
OMGGGGGGG WHAT THE HELL I JUST READ THAT ~#*%~@ OF THE F**KING WIRES THEY NEED TO KILL HIM DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT GIVING HIM NO TYPE OF TREATMENT ITS NOT GOING TO WORK HE IS A ANIMAL. MAY GOD BLESS HIS WIFE AND KIDS.
Let’s all pray for this one; he is a real live one……
yo why dint he get help in tha first place dude is jest sick heat in his pocket/ ate his own eyeball? r u serious!!!!!
HE IS AN PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE DEVILS WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hE BELONG RIGHT THERE ……WHERE THE KILLERS #@$#~@ AND ALL THE SICKOS ARE
This is really nasty, why was he not put in some type of home in the first place he already ate his wife heart and some of his kids. Whats wrong with the system?
This is a really great guy! He asked for help and no one was there for him…I grew up with this guy; where we are from he couldn’t get the help he wanted because of the color of his skin….He doesn’t need the electric chair he need for everyone to pray for him.
i think dat was so disgusted…i mean why would u even do something so stupid…i can understand dat he is PSYHCO but dang!!! but…u have to look past people like him even though i don’t know him…
IM NOT SURPRIZED AT ALL THATS THE KIND OF THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN THE DEVIL FINDS A WILLING MIND AND A WEEK SPIRIT THATS WHY U SHOULD PRAY AND KEEP GOD IN YOUR LIFE BECOUSE THE DEVIL IS DEFFINITLY WAITING FOR HIS NEXT SOUL
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL…. IM THANKING GOD FOR BEING CLOSED N MY RIGHT MIND N HAVING THE ACTIVITIES OF MY LIMBS N BEING A HEALTHY INDIVIDUAL, JUST KEEP HIM N MY FAMILY LIFTED N PRAYER! GOD BLESS

YES!
i said it
I agree with the person on here talking about demons. Demons are real. I believe that there is no such thing as “crazy” or “insane”. It’s a matter of being possessed or not. The bible speaks of the man who lived near the grave yards. It says he was possessed, not crazy or insane. “Crazy” and “insane” are just another attempt by Western man to explain everything scientificically. I thank God for the HOPE he has sent to me/us, lest we would all be like this guy; possessed by the ONE GOING BACK AND FORTH THROUGHOUT THE EARTH SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR; ( DESTROY). AMEN.
he wowlin
this is soo nasty i cnt believe ppl really do this! i cnt amagine doin this to the ppl i love the most. somethang is really wrng with this man, and i hope he never see’s outside again!! i send ma love out to those who lost their life.
I think he is a crazy and sick person. I think he dosen’t need need no help. I think he should be send to the electric chair. I think god should take him and let him burn in HELL! He is one sick and deranged $%?$*%$#*$@~.
“wow i cant see why some people would do something that heartless”
-stevie wonder
lol, i get the pun.
nice work bastard, you made people sad.
x]
There is no help for this Guy why is this guy still living? We are wasting money on keeping him breathing our air. Since he still has 1 eye left hold that M F open pour some salt in that B*tch and call it a day.
I admit, I read the headline and was intrigued. After pulling up this article, reading it, reading the blog comments, I felt just as sick. There are no words to cover this. But I tell you bloggers, God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly and above all that we and our finite minds can think of or ask. Even in this state, God is able to save this young man and change his life. I believe God and ask for mercy on his soul. He will pay for his crimes, crazy or not, but there is mercy available…to him…to us! For any all that we do or have done …from exceeding the speed limit to taking a life and beyond.
instead hrowing stones at him… think about the people who he told he needed help and they didnt do antthing until this happened it is so sad but we need topray for him and hope he gets the help he needs for his sake and may god have mercy on his soul…..for he did not know of his doings
man that dude is really sick,he need prayer. he has a demon
This sad excuse for a man is not insane, he’s just evil and should be accorded the same fate as his victims, a horrible and brutal death.
No matter what he does to himself it will never be enough punishment for him taking the lives of his babies I say let the SOB suffer with living let him awake to the sounds of his children screaming every night at the feeing of having their lives stolen by their own father!!!
All in favor of the death penalty say “E YE” ;… at least when he gets ass raped it will be a total suprise…and who says justice isnt blind?
i’m afraid of him very ok
Sick people they should of left him there to just let the blood run out of his body. He will go to hell for what he did.
