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 know there are other factors that influence the recidivism rate for both countries, but you’re ashamed to admit it because you know it detracts from your point.

    You are ascribing a position to me that I don’t have.

    1. Confounding factors exist in all studies. They don’t invalidate the results, but you have to control for them. All well designed studies do this. Why on earth would I think that they don’t exist?
    2. You just won’t clarify what factors you want to talk about. Be specific and let’s see what research there is on it. Pointing to undefined factors and saying ‘…but other stuff!’ isn’t an argument in favor of your point, which was that “The main goal of prisons is to protect society from criminals by removing them and deterring others from committing crimes through fear of punishment.”

    Nor have you provided any evidence for your point while I have provided links to several studies. Pony up some evidence for your argument or be prepared to learn and grow. Or remain stubbornly wedded to your incorrect opinion. Makes no difference to me.

      You are ascribing a position to me that I don’t have.

      Then admit it? It’s not that difficult.

      “Yes, there are other factors that influence each nation’s recidivism rate.” See how easy and unambiguous that was? But instead you tried to take the sly road of saying I “didn’t mention what those differences are.” I shouldn’t need to. That isn’t my point. Lol.

      Why on earth would I think that they don’t exist?

      Like I said, you know they exist but clearly want to avoid admitting it because it detracts from your point.

      You just won’t clarify what factors you want to talk about. Be specific and let’s see what research there is on it.

      I don’t need to. Once we establish that the are other factors (finally), then I can ask you why you believe Norway’s prison system significantly outweighs their impact on prisoner recidivism.

      See how simple and easy discussion can be when you’re not afraid to say what you mean?

        You’re funny. Clearly you aren’t interested in having a good faith debate about facts, but just to troll.

        I wonder who you work for? Russia maybe? Judging by your post history, you have some agenda here. Think I’ll watch and see.

          Lol, what?

          Sorry normal conversation is too much for you to handle. Maybe you should learn to interact with people who don’t always believe what you say without scrutiny.

          Clearly you aren’t interested in having a good faith debate

          Funny how you say that when you’re the one who’s afraid to answer basic questions because you know they hurt your argument.
