This just may be the most gruesome thing I’ve read in awhile.
A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems pulled out his only good eye and told authorities he ate it. Andre Thomas, 25, was arrested for the fatal stabbings of his estranged wife, their young son and her 13-month-old daughter in March 2004. Their hearts also had been ripped out. He was convicted and condemned for the infant’s death.
While in the Grayson County Jail in Sherman, Thomas plucked out his right eye before his trial later in 2004. A judge subsequently ruled he was competent to stand trial.
A death-row officer at the Polunsky Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice found Thomas in his cell with blood on his face and took him to the infirmary.
“”Thomas said he pulled out his eye and subsequently ingested it,” agency spokesman Jason Clark said Friday.
He ate his GOOD eye.
I really need to get new hobbies.
N.A.S.T.Y.
I thought so too.
The judge was wrong. The dude’s crazy.
As a betsybug on crack. Dude is nuts.
Eye think he was just hungry.
You win the bad, yet hysterical, pun of the day.
Ya know, after prison food, it might have been a drastic improvement.
I thought watching Bear Grylls eat that yaks eye was bad… yeah, this guy in the story is a batsh*t crazy dude
& a Texan – go figure…
um, EEWWW!
Nom, Nom and then you’re out of eyes.
heh, and then you miss out on the required third “NOM”
Ate his own eye!? I see.
Next he’ll audition for the prison production of Macbeth.
Well I hope you didn’t expect him to eat the bad eye, did you?
Auto, good point.
He suddenly ran out of eye-petizers.
