I don't particularly care for Larry Flynt mainly because of his line of work. I do think Flynt has an interesting side specifically when it comes to talking about rights, politics, and what have you. Most recently Flynt has made headlines by stating that the man who shot him in 1978 should not be executed. While the man that shot him is actually being put down for murdering someone in 1977, and not for the Flynt shooting, there are some interesting points Flynt is bringing up here.
Flynt feels that there should be greater scrutiny in so far as who is a part of the team that's responsible execution. There's also the name of the pharmacy and whether or not that compound pharmacy faces scrutiny from the state on other fronts. I don't think Flynt is trying to grab headlines so much as he is trying to hold systems accountable.
Should states where there is a death penalty for felons and lethal injection is the method of death be more open about the process? Flynt seems to feel this way about Missouri and chances are he feels this way about other states as well. The question is valid simply because Flynt is asking more for the reason of keeping other people and businesses in check.
I wonder how far Flynt will go here, considering how far he's gone in the past for other causes. Flynt did state that life in prison is a worst punishment than the quick release of death by lethal injection, I actually agree with that. I think Flynt has an uphill battle here only because he is Larry Flynt, the Hustler guy.
