Police arrest repeat offender suspected in murder of Baltimore tech CEO - Lemmy.world

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.

We need to be far more harsh on crime. Most good natured people aren't accidentally finding themselves the subject of police intervention.
Unfortunately we have strong laws on this already, this is a root cause problem.
Letting people out/off early is a problem. From what I understand, Illinois has eliminated cash bail, which has made crime way worse.
Dumbest comment I’ve read today.
It doesn't follow your narrative, of course you're butthurt by it. Dunno why it's so popular to defend criminals nowadays but definitely shows the flawed mentality that's so pervasive

doesn’t follow your narrative, of course you’re butthurt by it.

What narrative? The entire idea of a rehabilitation based penal system has been native to the American justice system since we built our first prison.

Your narrative is a modern neocon revision of historical fact. It doesn’t follow a logic, it’s just an attempt to utilize the power of the state against anyone you hold prejudice against.

Dunno why it’s so popular to defend criminals nowadays

No one is defending individual criminals, were defending the American people. When you strip the rights away from fellow americans, you are stripping away your own rights.

Let’s say hypothetically you pass a bill that throws dangerous criminals away forever. What stops you from being labeled a dangerous criminal?

flawed mentality that’s so pervasive

Says the boy who thinks that keeping people in prison longer makes them less dangerous…

Bro, you're defending criminals. I'm not having a discussion with you because there's none to be had. Just by defending criminals you tell me all I need to know about your opinions.
Sorry man, defending the perpetrators of violent crimes is clearly more important the defending the victims. /s
