Aiding and abetting

Now that Eric Rudolph has been arrested what do you think should be done to those who helped him allude capture for all this time?

Rudolph quite obviously received a lot of help in avoiding capture over the span of five years. Why would anyone with a conscience help someone like this - and there was a million dollar reward involved on top of it! They say that the area where he was captured is among the most backswoodsy locations in the U.S. It is an area where he found support for his racist and white supremacist ideas. Rudolph is said to have been anti-gay and an extreme right to life supporter. What should happen to Rudolph? What should happen to those who aided and abetted him?

put 'em to trial, and if found guilty give appropriate punishment

as for rudolph, give him a trial by jury (if he wants) and then (conviction is a gimme) try death penalty

Liquor Dealer,

The answer is the same as for those who would murder innocents by flying a plane into a building. Rudolph and those that helped him believe that they answer to a higher power and that that power approves of what they are doing.

excellent comparison, a fine example of religious fanaticism.

It's amazing what people will support in the name of "morality" and God. Liquor Dealer, the word you wanted was elude. Allude means to make an indirect reference to. Homophone. Sounds the same, different spelling, different meaning. Just an FYI.

Locals: Sympathy for Rudolph Not Widespread

Sunday, June 01, 2003

ANDREWS, N.C. — Standing in the door of a trailer on the mountain compound where "patriot" militia once trained, Jeremy Blake Ford swears he would not have helped serial bombing suspect Eric Robert Rudolph.

But if the elusive survivalist had walked out of the nearby woods, Ford isn't sure he would have turned him in.

"I believe you've got to send a message," Ford said Sunday from the hillside home of the late right-wing firebrand Nord Davis Jr.

Never mind the $1 million bounty on Rudolph's head, set by investigators who accuse him of killing two people and injuring more than 100 with bombs at two abortion clinics, a gay nightclub and Atlanta's Olympic Centennial Park (search).

"One death to a thousand deaths and making money off of babies being aborted and gays thinking they have rights -- in the Bible, they don't have any rights," Ford said. "They're the wrongs, and we're trying to make it right. I believe Eric Rudolph makes a statement."......


And I thought I lived out in the sticks!

I hope that people that knowingly aided him get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
