Richard Jewell must be chortling with glee. Ain’t it funny how these bad dudes always have three names… uncanny. ---

They’ve been searching for this rat bastard for years. He’s become a local (regional) legend on the order of Jesse James. He is a skilled outdoorsman, and for several years, it was thought that he went to ground in the North Carolina mountains, living like Jeremiah Freaking Johnson. Bet he wishes he’d stayed there. Note to all idiot hero-worshippers: he’s a murdering low-life scumbag, and I hope he rots in jail, then serves duty scrubbing Satan’s bunghole for all eternity. ---

It’s the media that prints all three names. To distinguish him from all the other people named “Eric Rudolph.” When Elizabeth Smart’s kidnappers were arrested, I’m sure Broadway’s current “Man of La Macha” was glad the media called him “Brian David Mitchell” and that he (the actor) goes by “Brian Stokes Mitchell.” I agree with \*\* Ogre \*\*. A friend’s daughter was injured by the Olympic bomb. I hope this guy rots in jail and rots in hell. ---

I was being facetious. 🙂 My brother was there for the 1996 bombing. We’re all very fortunate more people weren’t injured or killed. Come to think of it, so is Rudolph, now that they’ve caught him. ---

Won’t matter how many were killed or maimed. He’s going down for the long count, few casualties or many. After the massive screw-up in which the FBI smeared R. Jewell fairly liberally, the Feds have got some major face-saving vengance to take. Which is fine by me. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by iampunha \* > \*\*An astute observation, **Unc leB ill** 🙂 \*\* You too, **i am pun ha** FOUR names. **Be a gle** :eek: Never mind. Oh, and don’t be a gle. I heard on TV news\* that many people in the area are suspected of helping the alleged bomber with food and other things. I say, throw the book at them. Ah, if any of that is true. They must have known he was a fugitive. I’d bet everone in the area was personally approached by law enforcement. The networks were calling him a “cult hero” to some of the locals. Yikes. \*Early reports. Meaning, could be complete BS. But, since this story doesn’t involve preliminary chemical testing, maybe it’s true. ---

Well, don’t forget, we’re supposed to be going after terrorists and those who harbor them. Isn’t this a domestic terrorist? ---

> [@](#): > > \*\*\*Originally posted by Beagle \* > The networks were calling him a “cult hero” to some of the locals. Yikes. \*\* Unfortunately, this part seems to be very true. I just saw a brief interview with some of the Murphy-area locals on [WRAL](http://www.wral.com). It was a group of older redneck types; one of them, a woman, commented quite loudly that Rudolph “did the right thing–we don’t need no abortion clinics.” :rolleyes: ---

Yikes. Check out his [mugshot](http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/05/31/rudolph.main/index.html)!! Is that Ben Stiller? Glad to see this P.O.S. caught. ---

Heh! He was busted by a raw rookie on a routine patrol, after evading all the ‘experts’ for years!
