Wondering why people have sympathy for Eric Rudolph. I think this comes pretty close:

"Is it the "Robin Hood" factor; the notion that Rudolph's ability to evade the feds all these years has rocketed him to a sort of legendary status among a group of people who have never been particularly impressed with centralized government?"
I think the reason is that these people see the fegov and big media as untrustable and probably in cahoots. Rudolph, on the other hand, is seen as one of them. It's the same choice that's been made over and over agian: choosing between your own or a theoretical "greater good." We all know how those of us in the South have traditionally answered that question.
