If that was the case, why not bomb police precincts?
At the time of the olympic park bombing, Rudolph's face had been plastered on tv all over the country. Would he be stupid enough to show his face in Atlanta during the olympics, when we had more cops per square mile than anywhere in the world?
Sorry, that dog don't hunt.
I think he did hoping he could attract a lot of cops to the vicinity so they would be hurt or killed.
Then, he did the abortion mill thing and lots of cops came to the site only to encounter a second bomb.
So, if it wasn't Rudolph it was somebody else who likes to kill cops.
He might even have an interest in the abortion debate. If what he did makes all cops much more leary of futzing around abortion mills, either as eveningtime "rent a cops" or as nun-busters, then he did good, right? (A tad messy, but the cops are, after all, the weak link in the chain of authority that keeps the abortionists in business).
Your time line is all off. The Olympic Park Bombing happened in 1996, BEFORE the other bombings in 1997 (clinic and night club) and 1998 (Birmingham).
In 1996, Rudolph was an unknown. That's why they went after Jewell.
