Patty Hearst was naive and scared to death when kidnapped. Think Stockholm Syndrome. The public wanted her to pay for all the things her father represented when the country was in the turmoil of the 60’s. The SLA were MS-13-types. Victim, plain and simple.

I have read a moderate amount about the subject and have found nothing definitive to make me believe otherwise.
