Full Version: Atlanta Olympic bomber reportedly to plead guilty
Outsports Discussion Board > Outsports > Olympics
Joe in Philly
The husband of one of his victims (injured in a bombing at an Alabama abortion clinic) says he was told by the Justice Dept. that Eric Rudolph would enter a guilty plea in four bombing cases -- the Alabama case and three in Atlanta: at the 1996 Olympics, another building that housed an abortion clinic and a lesbian bar. Rudolph is supposed to receive four life sentences instead of the death penalty in exchange for his guilty pleas. I wouldn't be too unhappy if I heard that he got a homemade shank in his gut during his imprisonment.

JIP, this is correct. He'll be in court on the 13th. I hope he doesn't get a shank. I want him to live an miserable, lonely life for the havoc and destruction he has wrought.

"... miserable, lonely life ...."

Unllikely. He'll probably join a chapter of Aryan Brotherhood wherever he's imprisoned and become a celebrated member.

The thing that always bothered me about Rudolph was the sympathy he got from the Southern community; people were willing to look the other way or to help him hide out. And then there were the t-shirts that said "Run, Rudolph, Run." It made me ashamed to be from Georgia ... of course, a lot things make me ashamed to be from Georgia. wink

In any event, I'm glad they caught him and that the time has come for his fate to be decided. Life in prison/dealth penalty/ whatever ... I'm just glad he's going to pay for what he did.

He could hardly have escaped justice for so long without the active support of "right to life, as long as it's hetero, Christian and not yet born" groups.
Rudolph accepted a deal of life without parole rather than the death penalty. In exchange, he agreed to tell the Feds where a cache of dynamite and weapons are stashed. The survivors agree that preventing further murders is more important to them than frying this jerk. (I'm opposed to the death penalty. Sometimes it's hard.)
The woman who was most severely injured in the bombing of the club suffered a literal adding insult to injury. She worked in an insurance firm in Atlanta and was not "out" at work. When she was injured and had to be hospitalized for a long time, that was news and she was named. As soon as she was well enough to return to work she was fired for being a lesbian. The employer made it clear that was the sole reason. She filed a lawsuit. The judge reluctantly had to dismiss it. He agreed her treatment was outrageous, but Georgia is one of the 37 states where it is totally legal to fire a worker solely because of his/her sexual orientation so she had no case.
These are the "respectable" people who "inspire" killers like Rudolph.

Along with abortion, another assault upon the integrity of American society is the concerted effort to legitimize the practice of homosexuality. Homosexuality is an aberrant sexual behavior, and as such I have complete sympathy and understanding for those who are suffering from this condition. Practiced by consenting adults within the confines of their own private lives, homosexuality is not a threat to society. Those, consenting adults practicing this behavior in privacy should not be hassled by a society which respects the sanctity of private sexual life. But when the attempt is made to drag this practice out of the closet and into the public square in an \"in your face\" attempt to force society to accept and recognize this behavior as being just as legitimate and normal as the natural man/woman relationship, every effort should be made, including force if necessary, to halt this effort.

This effort is commonly known as the homosexual agenda. Whether it is gay marriage, homosexual adoption, hate crimes laws including gays, or the attempt to introduce a homosexual normalizing curriculum into our schools, all of these efforts should be ruthlessly opposed. The existence of our culture depends upon it. It is the duty of the state to promote the public welfare and this includes holding up values and model behaviors which tend to create a healthy society capable of reproducing itself by the natural means of the family unit. This model behavior which lies at the heart of a healthy society is the marriage between a man and a woman. To place the homosexual relationship along side of the model and pronounce it to be just as legitimate a lifestyle choice is a direct assault upon the long term health and integrity of civilization and a vital threat to the very foundation of society - and this foundation is the family hearth.

Any conscientious individual afflicted with homosexuality should acknowledge that a healthy society requires a model of sexual behavior to be held up and maintained without assault. Like other humans suffering from various disabilities homosexuals should not attempt to infect the rest of society with their particular illness.
....

Two attacks were carried out in the winter of 1997. The first in January was an abortion mill (Northside Family Planning). The second was a homosexual establishment (The Otherside Lounge). The abortion mill was closed that day but occasionally there was staff on hand to clean their blood-stained equipment, and these minions and the facility itself were the targets of the first device. The second device placed at the scene was designed to target agents of the Washington government.

The next attack in February was at The Otherside Lounge. Like the assault at the abortion mill, two devices used. The first device was designed not necessarily to target the patrons of this homosexual bar, but rather to set the stage for the next device, which was again targeted at Washington's agents. The attack itself was meant to send a powerful message in protest of Washington's continued tolerance and support for the homosexual political agenda.

Despite the inherent dangers involved in timed devices, all of these devices used in both of these assaults functioned within the parameters of the plan, and I make no apologies.

Why post the rantings of that piece of garbage? I wouldn't even click on the link. He's going to jail and should never be heard from again.

I actually believe this a strong arguement against the death penalty, albeit indirect. His views are political ones and therefore amenable to political dispute. His actions deserve life imprisonment if proven. His mind is already imprisoned by his poor logic.

Rudolph wassentenced to life in prison today.

QUOTE
Just before a judge sentenced him to life in prison, Rudolph apologized to the victims of the 1996 Olympics blast in Atlanta, saying \"I would do anything to take that night back.''

He said he had wanted to anger and embarrass the federal government because it does not prohibit abortions, and he wanted to harm only government workers.

\"I can't begin to truly understand the pain that I have inflicted on these innocent people,'' Rudolph said, reading a statement. \"To those victims, I apologize.''
Yeah real sincere:

QUOTE
Rudolph smirked and rolled his eyes during Monday's testimony by some of the victims, especially those refuting his anti-abortion, anti-homosexual beliefs. He laughed under his breath when one of the victims said it was appropriate that when authorities finally found Rudolph he was scavenging for food from a trash container.
And did he think there were only gay government workers at that nightclub he blew up in Atlanta? Douche bag. I hope he is raped every day of his miserable existence in prison until the day comes that he pisses off some prisoner who beats him mercilessly to death.

Good riddance scumbag!

I think he'd probably get off on sex with other prisoners. I'd rather they just cut his dick and balls off and let him bleed.

I may be the only one here who has read many books on pre-Columbian native societies, and the correlated experiences of the first Europeans. But the natives conducted their torture better than anyone.

They would tie him up, & then flay his flesh, slowly, off his limbs with an oyster or mussel shell.

While this was going on, it was common in some of these "primative" societies to rip the victim's fingernails out with one's teeth.

After a day (or even two) of this brand of torture, the victim would be placed in proximity of a fire and roasted alive.

If it was good enough for the genocide-facilitating Jesuits, then its good enough for our dear fundamentalist Christians.

Flay 'em and fry 'em. Ralph Reed should be added to the list, while we're at it.
