Isn't "ridiculous" though. This guy blew people up.
>> On May 5, 1998, he became the 454th fugitive listed by the FBI on the
Ten Most Wanted list. The FBI considered him to be armed and extremely dangerous, and offered a $1 million reward for information leading directly to his arrest. He spent more than five years in the
Appalachian wilderness as a fugitive, during which federal and amateur search teams scoured the area without success.
The
Anti-Defamation League noted that "extremist chatter on the Internet has praised Rudolph as 'a hero' and some followers of
hate groups are calling for further acts of violence to be modeled after the bombings he is accused of committing."

Rudolph's family supported him and believed he was innocent of all charges,
[10] but found themselves under intense questioning and
surveillance.
[11] On March 7, 1998, Rudolph's older brother, Daniel, videotaped himself cutting off his left hand with a
radial arm saw in order to, in his words, "send a message to the FBI and the media."
[12] The hand was successfully reattached.
[13] According to Rudolph's own writings, he survived during his years as a fugitive by camping in the woods, gathering
acorns and
salamanders, pilfering vegetables from gardens, stealing grain from a grain silo, and raiding dumpsters in a nearby town.

... Rudolph was arrested in
Murphy, North Carolina, on May 31, 2003, by
rookie police officer Jeffrey Scott Postell of the Murphy Police Department behind a
Save-A-Lot store at about 4 a.m.; Postell, on routine patrol, had originally suspected a burglary in progress.
