"On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, the 19-year-old daughter of newspaper publisher Randolph Hearst, is kidnapped from her apartment in Berkeley, California.
In April the situation changed dramatically when a surveillance camera took a photo of Hearst participating in an armed robbery of a San Francisco bank, and she was also spotted during a robbery of a Los Angeles store. She later declared, in a tape sent to the authorities, that she had joined the SLA of her own free will."
Was this another stockholm syndrome case?
@Rickoshay75,
Is that when someone is forced to listen to Abba until their will breaks?
@Lordyaswas,
Would that be when she met her
Waterloo?
@bobsal u1553115,
"Waterloo? Mama Mia!" said Fernando.
@InfraBlue,
Part of the Stockholm Syndrome seems to be
Knowing Me, Knowing You
@InfraBlue,
"Waterloo? Mama Mia!" said Fernando to the Dancing Queen.
I remember doubting her myself (I'm from LA), and I think that is how I ended up.. not believing the story. I'll have to remember to ask my ex, an observer/writer - he was from sort of near to the SLA neighborhood and interested. He named one of the cats, mother and son, that he brought with him to our lives, Cinque. I still miss her, the cat I mean. Her photo has been on a2k before. She was my first cat, my mother hating them, me not exposed.. There is more to the story somewhere here, as she had an admirer and disappeared.
@ossobuco,
As a pause - here is her son, Spackle, resting on mom, Cinque, who has some layer of patience (there is a dip in the straw seat of the stool.) She was no wallflower cat.
@ossobuco,
That is a GREAT pic, osso.
@Lustig Andrei,
Thanks, Andy. Dear to me, you know.
I don't get most of the early references.
Would you mods translate this to me?
"Waterloo? Mama Mia!" said Fernando to the Dancing Queen.
@ossobuco,
Those are all hit songs by the Swedish pop group ABBA as referenced by lordy in an early posy.
@Lustig Andrei,
Ahhh. I guessed that on the last bit.
I was around for the first dismissals of ABBA, and have sailed off since. Not that they are not good at it.
I wonder if Patty ever tried to send out an SOS?
I believe she was kidnapped and brainwashed. And since cell phones didn't exist, and I never carried a crystal radio around, I don't think she could have handed out an SOS note to one of her captors. Well at least not expecting a great result.
@glitterbag,
Um, I was referring to the ABBA song.
@chai2,
She wouldn't have been able to Ring Ring anyone.
@cherrie,
She couldn't ask anyone to "take a chance on me"?
