Damn I’m getting old. I remember it well.

[Snickering Hound]

When daddy can buy you the best lawyers available, you become a kidnap victim instead of an armed perp.

It was said that Hearst succumbed to “Stockholm Syndrome.”

[ColdOne]

I remember that. She was lucky to have a rich father. She would have gone to prison if not.

Patty Hearst's kidnapping led directly to her brainwashing. Her participation in the subsequent bank robbery was due only to the sequence of events that began with her kidnapping.

Patty Hearst was clearly put under incredible mental duress during her false imprisonment. I've always been willing to give her the benefit of the doubt regarding this incident. Anything else was a miscarriage of justice, IMHO...

What a shame, because, as History has taught us, so much GOOD comes out of Berkley, CA.

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.

Funny song about Patty Hearst from a young Danny Elfman:

You Got Your Baby Back - The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo

[Ransomed]

The eternal Thompson gunner
still wandering through the night
Now it’s ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland’s Thompson gun and bought it
