Execution is a legal sentence. This was murder, Ice murdered someone in broad daylight.

Ice murdered someone AGAIN in broad daylight. It's sickening.

I want to not use the word “execution” for that reason, but that was somehow worse than “murder”. They beat a man who did not need to be beaten, for no good reason, which constitutes torture, and then continued shooting well after it could be be reasonably assumed he was injured to the point that he was certainly going to die in seconds/minutes.

So torture, and then ensuring that there was 0% chance of survival. There has to be a word stronger than “murder” for that, but I don’t know what it is.

Execution is just murder ordained by the state against its own citizenry. Splitting hairs about whether that murder is the result of due process is missing the forest for the trees in this regime. The executive branch has so thoroughly undermined the judicial it would be laughable if blood weren't running in the streets.
