Is mild profanity allowed on this board? I hope so cause there's no getting around use of the word 'chicken****' in a discussion about Rudolph. He was a dope grower/dealer and a bomber...both exceedlngly chicken**** endeavors IMO. And now it turns out (thank you again DWM), he didn't even have the guts or the style to tough it out and live off the land.
It's clear to me now that he lived in an utterly bankrupt moral vacuum and was chicken**** from end to end, not caring at all HOW he did things so long as he got what he wanted...be it food, money or attention for his so-called pro-life/family crusade. These are all the hallmarks of someone driven by an appalling lack of humanity and self respect, and not by some higher calling. His actions are best seen in terms of these deficiencies - his actions were pathetic cruel chicken**** efforts to acquire a set of set values where values were lacking.
I think the good folks of Murphy saw this, and was the big reason why he probably got very little help, if any at all. Sure they had fun with the bumpers stickers (maybe to help them counter-balance the presence of the FBI) but deep down they knew he wasn't one of theirs. Go to Hell Rudi.
