And repeats it with the crowd joining her.

I note that one of my first thoughts about the shooting was hey, this is a white woman. I guess "all lives" don't matter after all. (in case it's not clear, I was never confused about the reality of that ... but we all know that the whiteness of the victim does matter to how this plays out in certain quarters.)

I found it poignant that Bilal began her statement that way.
