Missouri executes serial killer Franklin
IMO, too easy.
Interestingly, Larry Flynt was against the execution.
Earlier, I saw a news segment in which Franklin stated his goal was to start a civil war.
Useless scum.
he angry life of serial killer and white supremacist Joseph Paul Franklin ended quietly with his execution Wednesday morning in Missouri.
Franklin, 63, targeted blacks and Jews in a cross-country killing spree from 1977 to 1980. He was executed at the state prison in Bonne Terre for killing Gerald Gordon in a sniper shooting outside a suburban St. Louis synagogue in 1977.
Franklin was convicted of seven other murders and claimed responsibility for about a dozen more. His fate was sealed early Wednesday when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal appeals court decision overturning stays granted Tuesday.
Franklin also has admitted to shooting and wounding civil rights leader Vernon Jordan and Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, who has been paralyzed from the waist down since the attack in 1978.

The execution was the first in Missouri using a single drug, pentobarbital.

The execution began more than six hours later than intended, and it took just 10 minutes.
Franklin declined to make a final statement. Wearing black rimmed glasses with long hair tucked behind his ears, he swallowed hard as five grams of pentobarbital were administered. He breathed heavily a couple of times then simply stopped breathing.
IMO, too easy.
