I was in college and working in '74 when that started. That was about ALL that was on TV or in the papers.
I was a freshman in HS. Remember it well.
"Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..." Sam Houston Texans, "We say Grace, We Say Mam, If You Don't Like it, We Don't Give a Damn!"
I was cleaning a co-worker's Uzi when my 9 year old Cambodian niece walked through the garage wearing my Army black beret. One sheet hung from the garage door and a can of spray-paint later, we recreated that photo.

Timeless image to say the least.
"Maybe we're all happy."
"Go to the sporting goods store. From the files, obtain form 4473. These will contain descriptions of weapons and lists of private ownership."
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland’s Thompson Gun and bought it.
One of my favorite Warren Zevon songs if not my favorite. Least we not forget Roland was headless.
My former grandfather-in-law actually designed (engineered) the Thompson for the Colonel. I got to fire #3 one time.
Yeah, I was a junior in HS when the whole Patty Hearst thing went down and we had a few big discussions about it in my Civics class. She was not well thought-of in the Deep South.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.
"At her trial, the prosecution suggested that Hearst had joined the Symbionese Liberation Army of her own volition. However, she testified that she had been raped and threatened with death while held captive. In 1976, she was convicted for the crime of bank robbery and sentenced to 35 years in prison, later reduced to 7 years. Her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter, and she was later pardoned by President Bill Clinton." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_Hearst

Our family was on a 2 week vacation in Cali during the hunt of PH. We visited The Hurst Castle and did a couple of their tours. The next day the entrance of Hearst Castle was bombed by the PLO.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...
Didn’t the defense use the Helsinki Syndrome as a key reason to find Hearst not guilty?

I believe it was the Stockholm syndrome.
But I wouldn’t discount Oslo either.
Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester
"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
She was kidnapped and raped. Carter pardoned her. She married a prison guard. She had been through enough.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
First time the lawyers and psychs tried to apply the Stockholm Syndrome to cover why she was robbing banks and shooting up people. Don't think the jury bought a lot of it.
Fresh out of the Regular Army, married, wife preggers, 21 yrs old! I remember the Two or One Million? dollars worth of free food for the homeless as "ransom" for her, and hardly anyone came and got it! Big goat diddling.
