Sister got me a Netflix subscription on my Roku (it came with like 5 accounts she could assign).... Most of it is crap as is most of tv/hollywood now day, but I got to watching a "true life" series on the Atlanta Bombing and Eric Rudolph bomber. At first it was pretty good, portraying the innocent man being framed for the Atlanta Olympics bombings. But as the series continued, it totally made up more and more crap to blame on Eric Rudolph.... like he killed two old men in the woods (made up)... then the series got all caught up in some militia junk that was never shown to be true in the least.... they then ginned up some section that he was about the bomb the FBI in the forest and had the means to do so. There was no proof he got help in the forest whatsoever from the town locals or militia. Heck the story is purely fictional with the whole friendly militia subplot that takes a huge chuck of time in the series.
Manhunt: Deadly Games is a fun series to watch, but there is an agenda to paint Erik as just a godless killer (and he may have been) with made up things presented as fact. Fact is, we don't know much about Rudolph's years in the forests other than he stole stuff (one report says he left money for stuff he stole) and that he was caught dumpster diving. The series even makes up a fake truck chase that never occurred.
Then there is the Christians portrayed as helping Erik and preaching about it in the pulpit (and posting it on church signs). Those dumb misled Christian hicks as the story goes.
I don't know that it was ever proven the Rudolph even bomb Atlanta with any certainty. He probable did, but who knows.
Anyhoo... Manhunt: Deadly Games is a fun series to watch, I have enjoyed it, but take it with a big grain of salt, because it goes the way of BS in it's fact reporting.
Fact: the one nurse Eric did kill lived a few miles from me. She never told locals she worked at an abortion clinic and drove there daily (pretty good commute). I remember being somewhat upset not because she died, but that she worked to kill babies everyday and it paid well enough that she did it in secrecy.
