Authorities have arrested the man suspected of killing of Baltimore tech entrepreneur Pava LaPere, a U.S. Marshal confirmed, as police announced plans to reveal details of the capture following a major manhunt.
Baltimore police said they planned to announce the “arrest of murder suspect Jason Billingsley” in a news conference at 11 a.m. ET Thursday. No further details were released and police did not immediately respond to requests for comment from NBC News early Thursday.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Albert Maresca Jr. confirmed Billingsley’s arrest to Baltimore-based NBC affiliate WBAL-TV. He said the suspect, who is 32, was apprehended at a train station in Bowie, Maryland.
So you’d rather lock someone up for a few years, make it near impossible for them to get employment upon release and just hope for the best? Or do we bear the expense of tossing away the key or killing them instead?
As for funding - a cop with a gun is clearly the best option dealing with situations like someone having a mental heath crisis - much safer, cheaper, and freer to shoot them or toss them in prison too! We can’t rest on our laurels with the highest incarceration rate in the world. Reallocating portions of those police resources to people like counsellors hasn’t had dramatically better outcomes wherever it’s been tried (unlike throwing more money at the police, of course), but I’m clearly preaching to the choir on this one.
I’d suggest you ease off the boot-licking a little - I think the boot polish might have gotten to your brain.
Nice hyperbole. Sorry man, I’m not going to argue with you because you’re not going to argue in good faith.
Come back when you can use logic and reason instead of emotion.
Yeah. The first number you call when there’s danger is 911. You’re not fooling anyone.
Goodbye. Gonna block you now.
Shame you can’t call the cops on anyone on the internet that calls you on your bullshit, eh?
Background checks, and recidivism rates speak for themselves.
What a fragile simpering dipshit you are.
