This book covers the shooting of Larry Flynt, an American magazine publisher. He mostly published pornographic magazines, including Hustler. Flynt and his lawyer were ambushed on the street, with Flynt becoming paralyzed and his lawyer getting severely injured. The culprit was Joseph Paul Franklin, a neo-Nazi who was disgusted by an inter-racial photo shoot in Hustler magazine. Franklin had killed many other people, Black and Jewish, due to his disgusting racist beliefs. While this book does discuss this case, it also discusses life in areas where these hate groups flourish. There are a lot of common factors in how people find themselves indoctrinated into this gross mentality. Unfortunately for us living in the South, we know many people like this. A lot of them are leaders in our communities, which makes it even worse. I can understand more and more why there is such a negative impression of the Southern states and the United States in general, which is a huge digression from the nationalistic way that I was raised.

I learned that Larry Flint went around in a gold plated wheelchair, which I found to be extremely ridiculous. I guess if you have the money, you may as well spend it how you want. Neo-Nazism and other forms of White Supremacy are things that have been a constant in the United States for some time. Recently, these issues have really come back into the forefront of consciousness, especially since 2016. People are allowed to get away with hateful actions and ideologies with little to no consequences, and are applauded for it by a large group of people. This is a very scary time to be living in the United States, and this book from the past is just a look into what our present is like. If you are interested in White Supremacy, this might be a good book for you to read. It is currently available on Audible Plus if you have that.
