User blog:DragonDude83/PE Proposal: Thomas Richards

After having to write a removal proposal for The Governor, I feel like I should make a formality post to have a TWD PE approved. What do you think about Thomas Richards?

Who is Thomas Richards? What Has He Done?
Thomas Richards is a psychopathic convict who survived the zombie outbreak and was found in the prison cafeteria with Axel, Dexter, and Andrew. He is the arc villain of The Walking Dead Volume 3: Safety Behind Bars.

When Rick Grimes and Tyrese found Thomas and the group in the cafeteria barricaded by a police baton and several guards, each one introduced themselves; Dexter was charged with murder, Andrew with armed robbery, and Thomas with, get this, tax evasion.

Thomas helped Lori Grimes and the other women move into their cells, and he had a nerdy, polite charm to have the group trust him. This makes it even more shocking when it’s revealed that he is a murderer who was actually imprisoned for dismembering his wife. He’s fond for decapitating women, as he’s decapitated two little girls, Herschel Greene’s daughters, Susie and Rachel. Lori and the others accused Dexter due to his murderous past. Meanwhile, Thomas turned his attention to Andrea in the laundry room. Attempting to decapitate her, he only managed to scar her face and earlobe. When Rick discovers Thomas, he immediately disarms and beats him down brutally, only stopping when Tyreese intervened.

Imprisoned in a cell with Rick telling the group that Thomas should be hanged for his crimes, Patricia was convinced that Thomas was not evil, but insane. As she tried to free him, Thomas attempted to strangle her to death until Maggie Greene empties her gun into him. At the request of Herschel, Thomas’ body was thrown to be eaten by walkers.

Mitigating Factors
Please. Thomas Richards is as sick as they come, and was living proof that Humans Are the Real Monsters.

Final Verdict
Yes, and the writers should not pigeonhole any disqualifying factors on him. It’s not like some villains were made to be Pure Evil in the first place. After him, I believe Simon (The Walking Dead) is the only TWD PE left to be approved.
