This story is about a lot of things, but it is most definitely not about using a firearm to commit a felony.
The SLA is still around. Now they’re called ANSWER, ACORN, Black Lives Matter, Occupy and the DNC.
I remember it well - including the audio tape manifesto Patty made calling her family the “Pig Hearsts”, plus demanding free groceries for the ghetto folks.
I've seen her on a talk show or two, not to mention some John Waters stuff. I don't think she's change much since then. At least not up to her earliest acting and novel writing attempts, personality-wise that is. There is some humor in her.
Haven't paid all that much attention since last seeing her in "Pecker".
Thankfully, she's not gone back to robbing banks, that I know of, anyway.
According to patty in her autobiography, she believes the firearm she was carrying in the robbery was rendered inoperative before her confederates gave it to her. Probably because they didnt as of yet trust her with a working firearm.
I’m quite certain that she was in on her own “kidnapping”. In Italy this practice was quite common at the time; rich kids would join the Red Brigades and have themselves kidnapped as a way to raise money for them.
My friends father was not happy about that. In response to those demands, they threw some semi-rotting food out of a truck. And it was right near his store. One of the workers had to brandish a gun to avoid looters.
“The SLA is still around. Now theyre called ANSWER, ACORN, Black Lives Matter, Occupy and the DNC.”
Yes! And unfortunately, regarding the pro-amnesty crowd, one could make a decent case to add the Chamber of Commerce and many members of the GOPe to that list.
“Hearst was eventually sentenced to seven years in prison, but then-President Jimmy Carter commuted that to time served in February 1979. All in all, she served twenty-two months. Years later, on his last day in office, Bill Clinton granted her a full pardon.”
And because she is a super-rich elite, the regular laws imposed on we peasants don’t apply to her.
That was an interesting story back then!
Patty Hearst’s mother was a friend of Ronald Reagan. They certainly made a serious mistake in picking Flea Bailey as her attorney. I believe that she was a classic Stockholm Syndrome brainwashing victim.
I was thinking of PCH’s co-authoring of “Murder at San Simeon: A Novel of Suspense”.
I saw at the Westminster Dog Show last month that she was part owner of one of the breed champions...
and 0pansy.
I would like to know what happened to her boy friend (and teacher) Steve Weed. He was injured trying to protect her.
