I read every thread on Rudolph, I don't remember anyone attaching hero-status on him; many posters were impressed by his elusiveness and less impressive with the fed's investigative skills.

The last I heard, he hadn't yet been tried for a crime prior to becoming a fugitive.

And just so it's clear to everyone, I am not attaching hero status to him either. However I about fell out of my chair when the government man at the press conference said they knew how many calories he needed a day. We were always wondering what they were doing up there and now I know. Running calorie counter programs

I've always been impressed by his elusiveness more than anything else. Apparently he lived his entire life as if he knew he would someday become a fugitive -- no credit cards, no bank accounts, very few official records of any kind, very few photographs, always worked for cash, always lived alone, etc.

This combination of things makes it almost impossible for law enforcement agencies to develop a profile of a fugitive.

There have been a couple, the usual one-half of one-percent. Akin to the number of posters on D.U. who openly wish for someone to assassinate President Bush. It happens in every walk of life, people get over-zealous, they go nutty, they cross the line.

Of course the pro-aborts will zoom in on the small handful of Rudolph apologists, because they're trying to stigmatize FReepers in general (because they're overwhelmingly Pro Life). You had to know they were going to do this all along, the Rudolph story was bound to resurface sometime. And painting Pro-Lifers as whacked-out-Jesus-freak-terrorists has been their M.O. for as long as there's been a public debate on the issue.

I had quite a verbal donnybrook a couple of years back with one poster who suggested that Rudolph deserved support from other abortion opponents, and that if he came across Rudolph, he wouldn't turn him in. He took exception to my saying that despite my hatred for abortion, I wouldn't waste a second calling the FBI.
