This headline is misleading and only promotes Larry Flynt as some sort of civil rights crusader. The man "who paralyzed" him is a serial killer and white supremicist convicted of multiple murders. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Paul_Franklin" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Paul_Franklin</a><p>If we want to promote the people who have shown grace and forgiveness for horrible crimes committed against them, there are many people to celebrate over Larry Flynt. Likewise, the number of anti death-sentence crusaders are plentiful and far more admirable than Larry Flynt.
Wait, what?<p>"[...] 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."<p>He is basically saying that death is the easy way out and that torturing is a better punishment. This is why victims don't get to pick the punishments. They are way too emotionally impaired.
