She makes some powerful points.

Nice speech, I hope she really takes that attitude to work with her.
Interesting that she seemed to forget how many children she has.

"Execution"?

Nope, regardless of how you feel about it, an execution is the lawful killing of a convicted criminal by the state, after due process has been followed.

This wasn't a execution, this was murder.

That is kind of my point. It was an execution WITHOUT due process. By definition.

(I'm trying to reach people who roll their eyes at the word "murder." I want them to watch this. Although execution might turn them off also.)

To be pedantic, yeah, typically a lawfully ordered killing, but execution typically means that you kill someone where they don't really have an ability to fight back.

eg. killed "execution style" usually means bullet to the back of the head or temple, gut doesn't require legal endorsement.

In the case of being pinned down and then shot, yeah, it's pretty much an execution.

I think it is a result of how upset she is which readily apparent but yes a very impassioned speech.
