Magnanimity can be a cover for being really, really self centered

Larry Flint rather selflessly would prefer that the state of Missouri not execute the man who shot and paralyzed himExcept that while he's A victim of the man set to die. He isn't one of the two victims who this man was sentenced to die for killing. Nor is he one of the 23 other people this man killed

My husband and I both look at the death penalty like this: It's not so much a punishment as you are such a danger to society that you cannot be in it, period. Stepping away from the huge debate about how the death penalty is used for politics, racism, etc., individuals like this that have OVERWHELMING evidence against them, especially that they murdered more than just a few people, I think are a superb candidate for this.

Flynt is allowed to his opinion, of course, but considering the situation, it's pretty much a shitty and insensitive comment to make.
