Larry Flynt: Don't Execute the Man Who Paralyzed Me

[eznutz]

Joseph Paul Franklin, who has confessed to shooting Flynt in 1978 and been convicted in a series of racially motivated murders, is set for execution in Missouri in November. Flynt writes for THR, "I have every reason to be overjoyed with that decision, but I am anything but."

"In all the years since the shooting, I have never come face-to-face with Franklin. I would love an hour in a room with him and a pair of wire-cutters and pliers, so I could inflict the same damage on him that he inflicted on me. But, I do not want to kill him, nor do I want to see him die."

A mature point of view.

Hopefully, but open to question, said sarcastically given Mr. Flynt's statement that he would like to torture , maim, and cause great pain, but just not kill.

Of course J.P. Franklin has been sentenced to death not for his attack on Larry Flynt, for which he has never been tried, but rather for the murders he committed and in a different state at that!
