Baltimore police are scrambling to find an “extremely dangerous” man suspected of murdering 26-year-old tech CEO Pava LaPere, who was found dead in an apartment building on Monday.

The suspect, 32-year-old Jason Dean Billingsley, should be considered armed and dangerous as he is wanted on charges of first-degree murder, assault and other offenses, acting Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Tuesday.

LaPere, co-founder of the small startup EcoMap Technologies, was reported missing Monday morning, police said. Hours later, police were called to a downtown apartment building, where LaPere was discovered with signs of blunt-force trauma to her head, Worley said.

        Everything about this is ignorant.


        1. Billingsley hasn’t even been arrested. He is a suspect. I guess because he has a criminal past, he’s no longer deserving of a fair trial, according to this guy.

        2. US isn’t interested in rehabilitating people and having them become productive members of society when they leave. Why? Because we never abolished slavery, just required that someone had to be jailed first to be able to be used as slave labor. This is why you have private prisons, etc. It’s profitable to have prisoners. This means you have a lot of people coming out of the system continuing to commit criminal acts, they learned more about crime while inside, not less.

        3. I guess all Public Defenders and Defense Attorneys in general are the “lowest of the low” and “pathetic.” Because apparently no one in the history of the US has ever had the law turned against them unfairly. Cops definitely don’t do things like arresting people for “resisting arrest” with no other charges.


        This guy is just some angry asshole who can’t be fucked to understand how you actually rehabilitate people. He’s only interested in punishment. Which… last I checked, doesn’t work very well on it’s own in changing/rehabilitating people.

        As much as it is cathartic to punch idiots in the face (Nazis for example), it does very little to change the mind of the individual punched, and is more likely to make themselves convinced they’re a victim. Violence/Punishment doesn’t teach people shit, it just makes them more sure they’re right. This is how our jails and prisons work.

      It’s funny you say that because it’s his constitutional right to be defended and if he isn’t he’ll walk free.
