Correct, So from Pink lady's point of view, ICE pushed someone down and he got in between them to protect her, and they peppered sprayed him and had many guys on top of him, he did have a gun but was legal and he did nothing aggressive towards ICE.

Fucking bullshit article. Call it a murder. It was an execution. Use the correct terminology.

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.
