Eric Rudolph Captured

They are being subtle, though. He's being "framed" now. I'm guessing that the assumption is that abortionists blew up their own clinic.

And the focus seems to be solely on justifying the bombing of the abortion clinics, but his first bombing was at Olympic Park in 1996--because they glorify his actions against the abortion clinics, they say that he didn't do the Olympic Park bombing. See how neatly contrived that is? Of course, they don't address the bombing of the gay bar, either.

What have you done to stop it? Saying I condone terrorism is a popular thing to say these days. Would have you accused the founding fathers of the same thing when they went extreme, and radical against their government for much less than this?

[stands2reason]

And....more importantly, what exactly are your views on abortion?

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

[WarSlut]

I can't condemn this guy for having the courage the rest of us don't have.

Please consider what you're saying. This isn't the kind of courage that will save children.

And remember, Rudolph bombed a gay nightclub as well. No abortions were prevented, delayed or rescheduled as a result of that attack.

Rudolph's demons played upon his sense of righteousness and drove him mad. This is not an act of courage, but of weakness. He couldn't deal with the reality, and he couldn't effect it in any meaningful way. Now he won't have to do either. He's taken the easy way out. Instead of being of force for change, he'll be a prisoner until he's executed. I consider that playing right into the enemies' hands.

I followed the manhunt when it was happening and was amazed at the abuse that the FBI, BATF, etc., etc., heaped upon the residents of that area. Road blocks, verbal abuse, unwarrented searches, the whole nine yards.

Do you think now they will close there office and leave our little town now?

[Catspaw]

Why people resort to terrorism as a means to an end is beyond me. It achieves nothing and doesn't further any cause.

"You're posting on a public forum; we can all comment on anything you say."

Sounds good to me. I'll be back later with some direct quotes. You know my favorite one.

And if he is guilty of these things I agree he is guilty. I am not saying I am like him. If it is true that he is from a racist, or anti-semetic view point than I really do disagree with most of his views.I am very mainstream in my actions, but am very frustrated by abortion. It is not a nice thing, and I refuse to be nice about it.

Good reply Kay!

[Howlin]

I'll be glad for you to post it; it'll prove what a dishonest poster you are.

Rita Cosby on Fox News just reported that Rudolph is going into detail about how he lived (and probably where he lived) for the past five years. They're going to investigate that, so expect more LEOs in the area in the near future, not less.

Like I said, FR sure has changed!

Thank goodness! I wouldn't want to converse with terrorist supporters.

[Delphinium]

Was it terrorism when a few men up in Boston took other peoples property and threw it in the harbor?

[Catspaw]

Given your extreme views, I'm not going to respond to this post or to any other post from you.

[weegee]

So much for the rumor that a posse of good old boys tracked him down and killed him.

[Delphinium]

You can't answer that question can you?

An extreme view is thinking its okay for 4000 babies each day to be murdered. That is true terrorism.

You are the one with an extreme view, and it won't hurt my feelings if you ignore me.

[wardaddy]

Thank goodness! I wouldn't want to converse with terrorist supporters.

You're engaing in hyperbole a bit there.

Ambivalence does not infer "support of terrorism" by default anymore than your eschewing anti-abortion militancy infers that you are a baby killer.

[weegee]

He is a terrorist if he did the bombings.

Terrorist or lone nut? The media is wary of calling those who kill indescrimately terrorists. Even Ted Kazenski didn't get the moniker.
