I confess: the case of Eric Robert Rudolph had slipped entirely out of my mind since the late 90s, and his capture last weekend was startling; I mean the realization that he had apparently been surviving in the same pocket of these United States for so many years, while so many law-enforcement officials, local and Federal, had clearly *not* forgotten him, their vigilance having finally been rewarded. But as many have commented, Rudolph's long fugitive status in the same region, and his apparent good health when finally arrested, indicate a level of community support for him, even beyond the sympathetic remarks and signs openly and seemingly proudly displayed to the media by residents of western North Carolina. Sometimes the wallpaper of popular culture makes this country look like one friendly homogenized mass, and sometimes real people break through, to remind us what elements really make up part of "our national heritage." The War Between the States continues. |
