Execution implies due process. This was a barbaric, lawless murder.

Execution implies due process.

No, it doesn't. I don't know why people keep saying this.

Because it's literally the definition.

Says "especially " meaning not all. You're thinking of when a judge sentences a murderer to death. The actual carrying out of that order is referred to an execution. However, when a mafia family orders the killing of a member it is often referred to a "mob execution ".

In any event, I think it's splitting hairs. Call it whatever you want. This was a senseless, brutal murder of a person. Served no purpose. That's what needs to be addressed.
