On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, the 19-year-old daughter of newspaper publisher Randolph Hearst, is kidnapped from her apartment in Berkeley, California, by two black men and a white woman, all three of whom are armed. Her fiance, Stephen Weed, was beaten and tied up along with a neighbor who tried to help. Witnesses reported seeing a struggling Hearst being carried away blindfolded, and she was put in the trunk of a car. Neighbors who came out into the street were forced to take cover after the kidnappers fired their guns to cover their escape.
Three days later, the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), a small U.S. leftist group, announced in a letter to a Berkeley radio station that it was holding Hearst as a prisoner of war.

Guess not?
I remember it all. Patty Hearst got captured in San Francisco about a mile from my house, on a street I walked on all the time. It was big news in the neighborhood.
Most people dont realize how evil the left is. Do you remember the SLA murdered Marcus Foster?
you’re kidding right?
and Kathleen Soliah is a rich drs wife, even having been WITH the group that killed a pastors wife at a bank...

Reading about the SLA it says one of their ideologies was “anti-racism” and they go ahead and kill a black man. Their other ideologies were communism and feminism yet they kidnap a woman. So in other words they are like the left of today: Total hypocritical commies.

You’d like to think that more of that would stop all the leftists insanity as of late, but it just gets people all riled up when Justice is even the least little bit served. ;)
Carter commuted her Federal sentence, and Clinton a full pardon on his last day in office.
Wow, do not remember that at all. Thank you for that info.
Their original target was Robert McNamara. Somehow, I doubt anyone would have been too interested in finding that scumbo; although it would have been funny to see him wearing a beret and calling himself Tanya.
I bet she enjoyed every minute of it knowing she could go back to her former life once it was over.
Get real.
“Every day in the news Patty Hearst Patty Hearst Patty Hearst”
Of Hearst Media fame. That was when I began to realize a story gained ten times the importance, when it involved one of their own. Drive by shootings happen in LA all the time, but when news anchor Jerry Dunphy was injured in one (later determined to be a robbery attempt), it was the headline story, for three days . . .
Yes, can’t forget her either. She was caught years later....
