00:00 - A simple trick to avoid execution in Florida is to not murder people.Ron DeSantis is under fire for turning against his fellow service members and letting executioners slaughter five veterans this year alone. trib.al/aJOChodReaders added contextThe @thedailybeast defends Bobby Joe Long, executed in 2019, but omits why: Long was a serial killer who raped and murdered at least 10 women in Tampa Bay in 1984.
