Modern Events//Eric Rudolph

Born in 1966 in Florida, Eric lived in Florida until his father died in 1981 and his mom and siblings moved to North Carolina.  At grade nine he dropped out and worked as a carpenter with his brother, he did that until he started basic training to be in the airborne division but was kicked out for marijuana use. It was around this time he became very religious and took his Christianity seriously.  His first bombing was the Centennial park bombing in 1996, killing one person and wounded 111 others. He then proceeded to bomb two abortion clinics and a lesbian bar. After the FBI put it together he was responsible for the attacks they started one of the largest manhunts in history offering 1 million dollars for his arrest. For the next five years he successfully hide from the FBI and other amateurs team in the Appalachian mountains. In 2003 he was caught by a cop behind a grocery store searching the dumpster for food, he did not resist arrest. He stated later than all bombings were to try to stop abortions and go against gay views. He is currently serving life in prison at a federal maximum security prison.
