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.

You: "The system is broken, so we shouldn't let anyone out."

Man, I hope you never get busted for a crime you did or did not commit, seeing as you believe we should throw away the key like that. Would be a shame if the reason you weren't able to get out was because of people like you saying that BS.

    If you put bad people in and do nothing to fix them you get bad people out. That's what this post is about. Wrongful convictions are also unfortunate but that's a separate issue. This guy was convicted and had a 30 year sentence not rehabilitated and released after 7. Now another woman is dead.

    It may be a separate issue for you, but if you're advocating for throwing away the key like you are, you are advocating for people that were wrongfully convicted to continue be locked up. That's the whole point, and it went right over your head.

    Are more people wrongfully convicted than shitty ones? If not unfortunately blindly releasing people from prison will do more harm then good. I'm all for reforming the system but just letting convicted rapists/murderers go free with no rehabilitation isn't the way to go.

    Where did I say that I wanted to blindly release people from prison? You just outed how black and white you see the world. You only see these options: throw away the key, or let everyone out.

    You clearly don't actually care about rehabilitation. It seems that you also just want to keep the 'right' people locked up. Hopefully this line of thinking stays in the minority where it belongs.

    Currently there is no rehabilitation going on. Therefore, people going into prison are just as rehabilitated as when they come out, so yes, unless something changes they need to stay in there.

    So you're suggesting that anyone convicted of a crime should be indefinitely imprisoned until everyone else gets their shit together and revamps the system at which point they can be rehabilitated and then reintroduced to society?

    Are you fr bro? 😂
