Summary

Today, we’re talking about a racist serial killer named Joseph Paul Franklin. Over the span of 4 years, he killed people that he considered ugly… and he thought black people were the ugliest of all. He even set his sights on Hustler publisher Larry Flynt in 1978. Flynt is white, but his magazine published an interracial photo shoot. Flynt survived, but was paralyzed and wheelchair bound for the rest of his life. He went on to murder more than 20 people before being put to death by lethal injection.
