Today is Rick Scott's First Killing!
Technically, it’s Florida’s monstrous, terrible governor Rick Scott’s second killing, if you count all the money he made when he was forced out of his own company, as it made the “largest fraud settlement in U.S. history,” as it had systematically defrauded the government of millions of dollars. But it’s his first killing of a human being! Is everyone terribly upset about the death, six hours from now, of Manuel Valle? Actually, probably yes: even the makers of pentobarbital have written to Rick Scott to ask him not to kill Manuel Valle with their drug. But the victim’s family is really very eager for someone to die so that they can feel better.
