shot. larry flynt would be a killing trophy. you hunted him down? yeah. i was hunting him down. you remember the shots ringing out? yeah. sort of like a hot poker hitting me in my stomach. reporter: he ll never forget, march, 6th, 1978. the shots like most of franklin s targets, came from a distance. flint would barely survive the two bullets that struck him. he would never walk again. by the time they arrested franklin in september of 1980, at least 22 people were dead. days away from his constitution, franklin spoke to me from death row about his killing spree. three years. just the same length of time jesus was on his mission. and what was your mission? well, to try to get a race war started. franklin showed me a tattoo.
