WAXAHACHIE, Texas (AP) — A Texas man being held in jail fatally assaulted a detention officer who was returning him to his cell following the one hour he was allowed out of his lockup each day, a sheriff said Tuesday.

Isaiah Patrick Bias, a 28-year-old who worked at the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office for over six years, was assaulted Monday afternoon at the county jail in Waxahachie, south of Dallas.

Sheriff Brad Norman said during a Tuesday news conference that Arron Semeion Thompson, 45, from nearby Ennis, has been charged with capital murder in Bias’ death.

Officials said Thompson has been in jail since last month on charges of assaulting a public servant, public intoxication and evading arrest.

Thompson’s bond in Bias’ death was set at $2 million. Jail records did not list an attorney for him.

Norman said the Texas Rangers will investigate.

As a little L libertarian, I don’t think we should ever permit the Gooferment from using the “death penalty”.  If we do, then political opponents are at risk from their adversaries.

The one exception that I make  —  every good rule has exceptions  —  is when the convict is too dangerous for the people we ask to guard them.  This appears to be such a case.

As a species, we need to have firm rules of acceptable behavior.  For our own survival, this should be one of them.  “Kill a correction officer and forfeit your ‘right to life’.”  Simple self-preservation.

HISTORICAL: Did we just find “first Christian north of the Alps”?

Ancient engraved amulet could ‘turn back history’ of Christianity, experts claim

Just ahead of the holidays, archeologists have “digitally unrolled” a 1,800-year-old silver amulet to decipher an inscription that’s being hailed as the oldest known evidence of Christianity in Europe. 

Authentic evidence of pure Christianity north of the Alps has never existed before now. And the findings have the potential to change holy history forever. 

*** and ***

Researchers consider him the “first Christian north of the Alps,” and speculate that there could be more historical, untapped Christian burial sites around Europe. 

“This extraordinary find affects many areas of research and will keep science busy for a long time to come,” said Ina Hartwig, Frankfurt’s head of culture and science. 

“This affects archaeology as well as religious studies, philology¹ and anthropology,” she continued. “Such a significant find here in Frankfurt is really something extraordinary.”

I was intrigued by the concept of “digitally unrolled”.  I can’t imagine how they did this.  With something like an x ray?  I would have enjoyed a follow up on this concept. 

It impressive when technology rolls out new dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) for us.

p.s., Had to look up that word  — philology!

# – # – # – # – #

philology¹ The study of language, especially in a philosophical manner and as a science; the investigation of the laws of human speech, the relation of different tongues to one another, and historical development of languages; linguistic science.

VETERANS: Need a better way to “find” dementia sufferers

Missing Korean War vet with dementia found more than 200 miles from home after wife spots 91-year-old on TV

A missing 91-year-old Korean War vet with dementia was found more than 200 miles away from his Wyoming home — when his worried wife spotted him on an evening newscast two days after he wandered off.

Avril Black’s concern was mounting after her spouse Michael Black vanished after he left their Afton home on Nov. 25, leading her to report him missing the next morning, according to a local report.

While authorities reportedly gathered he had hitchhiked his way to Ovid, Idaho, and then traveled down to Garden City, Utah, he was in the wind from there.

I’m glad this hero was not found dead somewhere.  As a society, we need better systems to find individuals who “wander away”.  

Air Tags?  Angel Sense devices?  Medical Alert bracelets? Even Tattoos?  

I would believe that local police should be the first point of contact.  Amber alerts for the local area could be issued.  Shelters, churches, and vet organizations could be involved.

(When I get a NIXIE alert, I pay attention to it.  Never “found” anyone, but I look when out and about.)

Hopefully, we’ll get better at caring for members of the human race, who through no fault of their own, need help.
