General Field Marshal Cinque and The United Federated Forces of the Symbionese Liberation Army, we hardly knew ye.

:rant SIMBIOSIS never really caught on, even on Vine St.

Please, it's Tania to her friends

This makes me feel old. I remember that that story dominated the local news in a way that's almost unthinkable today. I was so sick of it by the end that I was ready to join the SLA myself.

I grew up two blocks from where they were caught in the Outer Mission in SF. Of course it dominated the news, and as we were watching one night they announced that the FBI had finished searching the house. My uncle was looking for a house to rent near us, so we knew that house would soon be available.

He walks down the street to talk to the owner, and rents it on the spot (in retrospect, who else would have wanted it?). They lived there for a few years, and all the kids in the family would go over and try to find the secret panels stashed with guns and ammo and bombs and whatever else our imagination could come up with. The FBI did a better job than 8 and 9 year olds though. Couldn't find a Patty Hearst bobby pin.

Greatest crime story of my youth in the Bay Area (edged out the Zodiac Killer) and probably one of the most compelling of the century. When the audio hit the news ("I've chosen to stay and fight", IIRC), you could almost hear jaws dropping everywhere.

And she's gone too far, but you know it doesn't matter anyway

remember the house burning in LA were they killed most of them, and Marcus Foster, the first Black superintendent in Oakland having his body riddled with bullets by Cinque and others because he wanted student ID cards...

XXXBEAR - Good reminder to all what a group of scumbags the revolutionaries of the 60s were. Huey Newton -thug, cop killer and drug dealer, Angela Davis - more than happy to have all of us ruled from Moscow, judge killer, the Weathermen bombing and thankfully blowing themselves up etc.
Patty Hearst lived right across the street from an apartment house I lived in during 1969-70 on Benvenue. When I lived there a cop and his wife were in the duplex. Not even close to as good a story as ursa Carolina's, but it is hard to top that one.

Daryl Hall has a pretty cool show:

Happy 60th birthday, Patty Hearst!

Stockholm Syndrome at its finest.

The calendar says that, but it's hard to believe. I was a first-year law student and had just rented a studio in a modern apartment on Regent, two blocks from Bevenue. Has all that time passed? I remember it as though it was yesterday.

A girlfriend at the time dumped me and wound up marrying one of Patty's lawyers-not Lee Bailey. Cuckolded by a mouthpiece for Tania.

Yeah choosing me showed a serious lack of judgment but picking him cinched the deal

Good line.

Anyone remember the exact address?
I know they switched cars on Tanglewood - near the Claremont - and then went up 13.

Steven weed is that you running away????
