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.

Yep, but there's a difference in the level of violence between punch somebody and murdering somebody. You’re just being pedantic now.

Ahh, so you admit your statement was incorrect. Great.

So, now your claim is that violent murderers should be put in prison for long periods...... which is redundant.

I want people who are violent to not have the chance to hurt innocent people again.

By putting them in prison until you personally decide they aren't violent anymore?

can have it both way, by having different punishments for someone who punched somebody and for someone who stabbed somebody to death in cold blood. I see this is a difficult concept to you.

I fail to see how that's any different to what were currently doing?

Nope, it can be rape, violent rape, or violence.

Ahh, so we're walking back our claim now.....how many times have you had to do that now?

I'm talking about laws, not vibes.

Lol and your version of the law is?

Never said otherwise. Given how you're making up every argument instead of actually reading mine, you really don't need me here, you can just continue arguing with yourself. Have fun!

So, now your claim is that violent murderers should be put in prison for long periods… which is redundant.

This has always been my claim.

By putting them in prison until you personally decide they aren’t violent anymore?

Nope, until/if they're actually not violent anymore.

I fail to see how that’s any different to what were currently doing?

Well, we're letting them out way too early. Like this case proves.

Ahh, so we’re walking back our claim now…how many times have you had to do that now?

Exactly 0 times. It's just you can't read and understand simple arguments, so you think they're changing.

Lol and your version of the law is?

Lol, you have already admitted to writing knowingly false statements. You've changed your claim like 4-5 times by now.

has always been my claim.

Directly conflicts with "Never said otherwise.".

Nope, until/if they're actually not violent anymore.

So you have a violence predicting precognition? You do know having a clean record while serving is already part of the parole process, right?

Well, we're letting them out way too early. Like this case proves.

You're utilizing a logical fallacy so fucking old the Romans had a name for it "post hoc ergo propter hoc".

How do you determine when they get out, by how violent they are? How do you tell how violent they are?

Exactly 0 times. It's just you can't read and understand simple arguments, so you think they're changing.

You do know judge dredd was satirical right?
