an evil man is sentenced

( John Hawthorne, widower of Centennial Park bombing victim Alice Hawthorne, and his daughter, Fallon Stubbs, who was injured during the bombing, left the federal courthouse in Atlanta after the sentencing of Eric Rudolph). it is BEYOND me how someone who professes to hold life so dear, can kill. i can understand and accept being against abortion (if you don't want one DON'T HAVE ONE) but to BOMB a clinic and kill people and to bomb a gay club (hey if you don't want to have a life partner of the same gender DON'T) is just NOT comprehensible to me. i just don't get it. the same people screaming to stop abortions are the same people who insist upon capital punishment (most of the time, granted NOT all of the time). your beliefs should be your beliefs for EVERYTHING. You shouldn't pick and choose who you think should live and who you think should die.
Olympics Bomber Apologizes and Is Sentenced to Life Terms
ATLANTA, Aug. 22 - Eric Robert Rudolph, the man responsible for the pipe bomb
explosion at the 1996 Summer Olympics here and three other bombings, offered his
first public apology on Monday at what could well be his last public appearance,
a sentencing hearing attended by about two dozen victims and family members. "I
cannot begin to truly understand the pain that I have inflicted upon these
innocent people," Mr. Rudolph said, reading a statement, adding, "I would do
anything to take back that night."
Still, Mr. Rudolph, who will be imprisoned
for life, spoke only of the bombing at Centennial Olympic Park, which marred one
of Atlanta's brightest moments, killing one person and injuring more than 100. He did not mention two bombings at women's health
clinics in Atlanta, where six people were injured; a bombing at a clinic in
Birmingham in which an off-duty police officer was killed and a nurse was
injured; or a bombing a gay club in Atlanta that left five people
injured.............
