1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:13,080
This programme contains some strong language.
2
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:41,000
'My name is Cinque and to my comrades I am known as Cin.'
3
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,680
'I am a black man and a representative of black people.
4
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,560
'I hold the rank of General Field Marshall
5
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,680
'in the United Federated Forces of the Symbionese Liberation Army...'
6
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,440
'My name is Fahizah and I am a freedom fighter
7
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,720
'in an information/intelligence unit of the United Federated Forces of the Symbionese Liberation Army.'
8
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,880
'Greetings to the people. This is Teko speaking.'
9
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,800
'This is Yolanda speaking. Greetings of profound love to all comrades
10
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,320
in the concentration camps of Fascist America, and to all the children.'
11
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,840
'This is information/intelligence unit four.'
12
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,280
'My name is Gelina and I am a General in the Symbionese Liberation Army.'
13
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,640
'We have declared revolutionary war upon you, the enemy of the people.'
14
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,040
'Death to the Fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people.'
15
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,360
Mom, Dad,
16
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,800
I'm with a...
17
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,920
combat unit that's armed with automatic weapons.
18
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,920
I grew up in Pensacola, Florida,
19
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,680
up on the Gulf of Mexico. It was a typical kids' life at that time.
20
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,080
I was born in 1949 so I was growing up in the '50's.
21
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,360
I grew up watching Zorro and the Swamp Fox, you know,
22
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,720
which was about the American Revolution.
23
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,640
Robin Hood, I mean all these tales of swashbucklers and people
24
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,800
who were fighting against the government.
25
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,480
I really thought that I would end up being an astronaut.
26
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,400
I went to the University of Florida for engineering. I thought that would be my way to be an astronaut.
27
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,400
When I got to college I ran into a whole new world.
28
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,800
The thing that you remembered growing up
29
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,240
was we saved the world from Hitler.
30
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600
And then you turn around and we're being Hitler.
31
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,720
You know, you see this every night and it's like, "Oh, my God!" It's like, "What's going on here?"
32
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:55,680
There has been and continues to be opposition to the war in Vietnam on the campuses and also in the nation.
33
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,440
As far as this kind of activity is concerned, we expect it.
34
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,400
However, under no circumstances will I be affected whatever by it.
35
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,640
I was pretty militant.
36
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:15,000
I help shut down the college because I was a student then at UC Berkeley.
37
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,080
It was almost like a kid that decided that their parents were just disgusting people.
38
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:28,480
That's...I know that's a weird way to sum it up, but we just felt like there was no future.
39
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,640
It was way too extreme...
40
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,680
The difference between what was really going on
41
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,880
and what was bandied about in school.
42
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,440
I mean, we were just running rampant throughout the world, and just lying like hell about it.
43
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,200
And then Kent State happened
44
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,560
and I was shocked just like everybody else,
45
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,960
especially everyone on all the campuses.
46
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,200
Why don't you fire on us, you fucking pigs? Open fire like you did in Kent!
47
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,760
Then I felt like in no uncertain terms, that people like me
48
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,720
were being declared the enemy by the government of the United States.
49
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,280
I don't think that most of the young people involved who considered themselves
50
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:28,320
part of the counter-culture
51
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,400
saw themselves so much as revolutionaries or renegades
52
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,480
as people think they did, or as the establishment accused them of being.
53
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,840
They actually saw themselves, if they did not admit as such, as patriots.
54
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,840
Most everybody that I ever knew that was a radical were go-getters in high school -
55
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:51,040
I was a national science finalist,
56
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,120
I had a gigantic IQ and all this.
57
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,880
Most everybody did, you know, it was all these high achievers. We were just shocked.
58
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,640
It just got to the point where I felt like this thing is just totally out of control,
59
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,200
the country is out of control. It's being run by criminals.
60
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,280
It's being run by just total right-wingers who have
61
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:25,320
no respect for the constitution or anything else.
62
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,640
That's the way I felt when I left and went to California.
63
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,880
# Hari Krishna Hari Krishna, Krishna Krishna
64
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,560
# Hari Hari. Hari Rama... #
65
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,360
I didn't necessarily think that I would ever live to see a revolution.
66
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,200
It seemed like it was more revolutionary,
67
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,440
you know, in the late '60s than it was by the time I got to Berkeley.
68
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,200
# I'm so glad Jesus set me free... #
69
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,880
We were pulling out of Vietnam.
70
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,080
A lot of people were going, you know, "Everything's over now, we'll go back to college",
71
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,040
and it wasn't over at all.
72
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,320
The same stuff was still going on.
73
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,120
The same criminals were still...murderers and stuff...were still running the Government.
74
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,160
THEY CHANT
75
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:28,920
'Preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States.'
76
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,120
Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
77
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,920
- So help me God.
- So help me God.
78
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000
I couldn't believe it.
79
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,640
That Nixon got re-elected in '72.
80
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,760
I couldn't believe that this guy got re-elected.
81
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,880
I just felt like we gotta keep something going.
82
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,120
One of the things I did that other people got involved in was show
83
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,160
these films, political films about what was going on in the world.
84
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,280
The events in this film actually took place in a South American country.
85
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:31,080
One of the groups that I really liked, and I guess it's back to the old Robin Hood and Zorro thing,
86
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,160
was the Tupamaros down in Uruguay.
87
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,880
State of Siege - I did see that.
88
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,520
If you consider yourself a revolutionary, if you want
89
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,880
to change things, then I thought these guys got it figured out.
90
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,280
And Che of course, I thought he was great. He was from Bolivia, he was down in Cuba helping the Cubans.
91
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,200
Che! Che! Superhero to some, villain to others!
92
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,040
His battle cry is heard around the world - Che Lives!
93
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,160
Only Sharif with his dramatic force and his amazing physical likeness
94
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,800
to Che could play the part.
95
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,680
It's funny how all these things happened but that's where Willie
96
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:11,200
and I met Bill and Emily and Joe,
97
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,520
is at one of these films.
98
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,000
Willie was kind of like the catalyst.
99
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Willie was the one that all these different people met.
100
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,840
Willie was like the common denominator.
101
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,040
Willie studied anthropology at Berkeley and it was actually through
102
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Berkeley that he got in to going to prisons, from some class,
103
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,400
some anthropology class.
104
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,880
I think that my, and people around me that I knew,
105
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,760
had such total distrust of this country at that point that San Quentin, Vietnam,
106
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,840
it was the same thing.
107
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,800
I was interested in the prisons, actually,
108
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,120
and when I found out Willie and them were going, then I went.
109
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,640
So Willie came - I think Willie's the one who started it,
110
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,640
there were discussions about, "Well, we know there are people in prison we don't think should be there.
111
00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,160
"What are we willing to do about that?
112
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,200
"Yeah, we can visit them, we can try to get people
113
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,480
"to donate money, we can try to find lawyers to help them and stuff.
114
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,880
"But what else are we willing to do?"
115
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,280
And there was talk about, what if somebody escaped?
116
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,440
What if we could help somebody escape?
117
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,080
So we started talking along those lines.
118
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,800
By then, every black prisoner in California prisons was regarded in one way or another
119
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:03,320
as a political prisoner, which had a bit of truth connected to it but a whole lot or romantic bullshit too.
120
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:14,360
The idea that made black prisoners so-called political prisoners was that they had been denied sufficient
121
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,520
opportunity in society and had reached out to take their share.
122
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,280
DeFreeze wasn't just some criminal.
123
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,680
I mean, he wasn't some guy who was some pimp or some dope dealer
124
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:35,720
from day one. DeFreeze had been married, he had kids, he'd worked full time.
125
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,800
It's just, I think he couldn't live the American Dream,
126
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,360
the thing you're seeing on TV, he couldn't do it just by working.
127
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,920
So he also became a thief.
128
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,760
You know, I liked the guy.
129
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,320
I liked him.
130
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:04,480
Willie took DeFreeze over to Mizmoon's house to hide him out.
131
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,200
He got transferred over to Nancy Perry's.
132
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,600
So DeFreeze and Nancy and Mizmoon, they were living out in Concord.
133
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,040
You got you're very own escaped convict?
134
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,760
I mean, come on, if there was status in knowing black political prisoners
135
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,160
there was one hell of a lot within the so-called "revolutionaries"
136
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,240
of actually being able to hide out an escapee,
137
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,240
who would then prove to be something more than just an escapee.
138
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,240
I think that was the beginning of it.
139
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,160
Probably him and Mizmoon were the two first members, I would think.
140
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,400
Then Russ Little, you know, knew him.
141
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,960
I know people want to make DeFreeze the leader
142
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,760
or some kind of Manson figure,
143
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,040
but that's just not my experience.
144
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,760
It became obvious to us that what we were really doing is that we were
145
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:11,080
forming our own little group, to be able to respond to things
146
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,240
and do things that were illegal.
147
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,600
This forest is wide. It can shelter and clothe and feed a band of good, determined men.
148
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,800
Good swordsmen, good archers, good fighters.
149
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,520
Are you with me? THEY CHEER
150
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,040
We familiarized ourselves with weapons.
151
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,160
We bought weapons.
152
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,400
They weren't militant in any way.
153
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:46,040
In fact, most of them had decent personalities, and nice people.
154
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,040
We didn't have some great plan.
155
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:54,200
We weren't like, "Now we'll take the South in '75 and then we'll move
156
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,400
"into the Midwest in '76."
157
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,720
We didn't think we were Mao out there with the Red Army.
158
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,880
We practised, sure.
159
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,280
We practiced at the gun ranges just like everybody else practised.
160
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Officers arrived immediately and both Mr Blackburn and Dr Foster
161
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,120
were transferred to Highland Hospital in Oakland
162
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,680
where Dr Foster was pronounced deceased.
163
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,000
The murder of Marcus Foster, who was the School Superintendent in Oakland,
164
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,560
was one of these appalling acts that made no sense whatsoever.
165
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,720
Here was the first black school superintendent in the history
166
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,960
of Oakland, a good man, suddenly gunned down.
167
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:04,360
Who actually pulled the trigger that killed Foster was Mizmoon.
168
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,320
GUNSHOT
169
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,000
Nancy was supposed to shoot Blackburn.
170
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,880
GUNSHOT
171
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,720
She kind of botched that and DeFreeze ended up shooting him with a shotgun.
172
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,400
If I recall correctly I was just about to leave the office one day when I stopped to check my mailbox.
173
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:33,000
And here was this communique sent from "The Symbionese Liberation Army",
174
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,760
saying that they had assassinated Foster.
175
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,720
I remember being struck by the fact they said they used cyanide-tipped bullets.
176
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:47,840
The whole thing sounded ridiculous, Symbionese Liberation Army, killing the black school superintendent.
177
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,720
Who were these people?
178
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:55,440
We thought for sure it was some lunatic right-wing fringe, and we just figured
179
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:01,120
Symbionese was like, you know, white farmers in Rhodesia or something.
180
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,320
'My name is Fahizah and I am a freedom fighter
181
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:11,120
'in an information/intelligence unit of the United Federated Forces of the Symbionese Liberation Army.
182
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,040
'I try to use my mind and my imagination to uncover
183
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,840
'facts so that when the SLA attacks, it will be in the right place.'
184
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,240
I remember saying to DeFreeze, "Why?
185
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,200
"Why would you kill a black guy?"
186
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,440
Jesus Christ. man, there's black people being killed all over the place, man.
187
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,680
You know if you're going to kill somebody, why in the world would it be him?
188
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,600
And as far as DeFreeze was concerned, Foster was the front man
189
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,920
for some horrendous police apparatus that was set up.
190
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,880
The issue was ID for high-school students.
191
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:58,520
And the funny thing is everyone today that's even mildly been associated with the SLA,
192
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,960
just about everyone has kids and
193
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,440
all of us want those IDs, that's the funny thing.
194
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,480
Stay away from the defendant.
195
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,440
Stay away from the deputies.
196
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,760
Thank you.
197
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,560
'Remiro and Russell Little were taken into custody two nights ago
198
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,600
'when they exchanged shots with a Concord policeman.
199
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,920
'Before the day was over Joseph Remiro had been accused of the murder of Oakland schools chief
200
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,200
'Dr Marcus Foster.'
201
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,400
They found us in the van. Joe was in a shootout with the cop and everything.
202
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,640
As far as they're concerned, man, we're armed and dangerous revolutionaries.
203
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,800
Within less than 48 hours, we were in San Quentin Prison.
204
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,520
I mean, I'd never even been arrested before.
205
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,920
Remiro, at the time we were investigating it, we regarded
206
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,360
him as their armourer, that is someone who took care of the weapons.
207
00:17:54,360 --> 00:17:57,840
And Little was more of a logistical support person.
208
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,680
He was close to DeFreeze and would have been,
209
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:07,080
I think, aware of whatever decision was made to kill Foster.
210
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:26,000
We found Mr Little's identification at the Southerland address in Concord that we were working on.
211
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,520
We've identified him by witnesses at that location.
212
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:35,080
We also found a map of the scene of the murder at the Oakland Public Schools
213
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,520
showing the location where Dr Foster had been killed, and the map was identified by the word "ambush"
214
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:45,960
- across the top.
- Has your investigation uncovered evidence as to the size of this liberation army?
215
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,400
No. The only thing I can say is that it has grown day by day.
216
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,000
Everybody saw us together all the time.
217
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,760
After we got arrested, they were totally tied to us.
218
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,200
You know...
219
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,400
At that point you only have two choices.
220
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,680
You could just drop out of everything and disappear
221
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,720
or go into hiding and try to figure out what to do next.
222
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,400
And that's what they did.
223
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,760
They had massive files on all the heads of all
224
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,040
the big international corporations who involved in overthrowing Chile
225
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:31,560
and everything else that was going on. They were gathering information on all of that.
226
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,320
They just had some massive investigative research thing going on.
227
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,800
The SLA in its formative time at that point was looking for targets.
228
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:51,760
Emily Harris worked in the registrars office at UC Berkeley, so they had a pretty fair
229
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,080
knowledge of who was at Berkeley.
230
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,680
And they were looking for the right one.
231
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,240
There's been a big kidnapping on the west coast.
232
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,560
The victim is Patricia Hearst, the daughter of newspaper executive Randolph Hearst
233
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,480
and a grand-daughter of the legendary William Randolph Hearst.
234
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,200
'Miss Hearst, newspaper heiress and daughter of Randolph Hearst,
235
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,680
managing editor of the San Francisco Examiner, is a University of California sophomore.
236
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:40,120
She screamed when the men burst in and started beating her fiance, 26-year-old Steven Weed.
237
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:43,440
The young heiress was forced into the trunk of a white car.
238
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,680
Her abductors, armed with pistols and a rifle,
239
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,280
fired a hail of bullets as they sped away followed by a second vehicle.
240
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,520
Police say the whole thing was carried out with commando-like precision.
241
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,560
They said absolutely nothing. They were very militaristic.
242
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,760
They had it so well planned that they needed to say nothing to each other.
243
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:16,680
The national media immediately focused on it as a kidnapping case and understood
244
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,840
the revolutionary aspects of it.
245
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:26,240
But in effect what they did was park outside Randolph Hearst's mansion.
246
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,400
It was the only place to go and so they made a story of it to a degree.
247
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,040
'A live report from the Hearst home in Hillsborough. John?'
248
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,600
So I'd get calls in the morning saying, "Who's there?"
249
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,920
"Well, 2's here and so is 4 and so is 5, I'm 7."
250
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,320
"Well, you'd better hang around."
251
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,920
And so no-one left, because the other was there.
252
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,120
We had the same questions that everybody else had.
253
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:56,920
Where is this thing gonna go? Who are these people? What do they want?
254
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,080
The United Federated Forces of the Symbionese Liberation Army,
255
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,160
armed with cyanide-loaded weapons served an arrest warrant
256
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,760
upon Patricia Campbell Hearst.
257
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,120
All communications from this court must be published in full in all newspapers
258
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,480
and all other forms of the media.
259
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,320
Failure to do so will endanger the safety of the prisoner.
260
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:27,560
Should any attempt be made by authorities to rescue the prisoner or arrest or harm SLA elements,
261
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,240
the prisoner is to be executed.
262
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:38,160
And in capital letters under that is, "Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people."
263
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:50,360
We heard this stuff, we were locked down in the Adjustment Centre in San Quentin,
264
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:54,360
and all this stuff hit the media and we just couldn't believe it.
265
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:56,560
The heat on us was bad enough.
266
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,880
After that happened, man, it was just really a nightmare.
267
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:04,360
We are now the SLA personified,
268
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:07,320
the premier anti-government terrorists.
269
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,960
At that point they stuck us up on Death Row in the strip cells up there
270
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,280
and did all kinds of shit, you know.
271
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,640
Put us in the gas chamber... Did everything they could think of.
272
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,880
But we weren't going to start changing our tune.
273
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,240
We figured we were dead anyway, why should we snivel our way out of it?
274
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,840
Do you have any feelings about your son being moved to Death Row
275
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,880
- at San Quentin?
- Well, I think it was very silly.
276
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,320
I mean under the Constitution, you're innocent until found guilty.
277
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:51,960
He hasn't even been brought to trial. So what would you say? Wouldn't you say it was a very silly thing to do?
278
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:59,560
We had read about this, watched movies about it, now we got to be in Attica,
279
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,120
as revolutionaries no less.
280
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,120
Now you talk about State Of Siege, the movie.
281
00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:14,360
That's how the SLA kind of envisioned it. The kidnap was meant as a prisoner swap.
282
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:21,440
They meant, frankly, to grab Patricia Hearst and trade her for Russ Little and Joe Remiro.
283
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,320
What we received in the mail today
284
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:33,440
appears to me to be a seven-page statement from the SLA plus a tape recording, which purports to be
285
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,320
somebody from the SLA and also the voice of Patricia Hearst.
286
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,240
And according to the demands, which we'll outline here,
287
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:46,120
it says that all of these things must be publicised in full which is what we're doing right now.
288
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,200
We knew they weren't about to release us
289
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,120
because they had Patty Hearst.
290
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,040
They realised they're not gonna get a prisoner exchange.
291
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:04,840
The next best thing they can do is create some kind of enormous act.
292
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,240
So that's the food giveaway.
293
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,160
We have heard it said that Mr Hearst wants to save his daughter.
294
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,640
We want to save all the children and people.
295
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,520
Each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for four successive weeks
296
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,960
each person with one of the listed cards can go to publicized stores and pick up their food.
297
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,520
The meat, vegetables and dairy products must be of top quality
298
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,440
and in ample supply during all store hours...
299
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,000
It's as outrageous as they can think of it.
300
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,320
I mean, they want the supermarkets emptied and food thrown into the streets.
301
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,720
I mean, that's really what it amounted to.
302
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,320
General Field Marshall C-I-N, SLA.
303
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,120
And what we're going to play next as per instructions from the SLA,
304
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:55,480
is a tape recording from the SLA
305
00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,040
which purports to contain the voice of the kidnap victim Patricia Hearst.
306
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800
'Mom, Dad.
307
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,040
'I'm OK.
308
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:16,600
'I'm with a combat unit that's armed with automatic weapons.
309
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,720
'And these people aren't just a bunch of nuts.
310
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,680
'They've been really honest with me but
311
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,680
'they're perfectly willing to die for what they're doing.
312
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:39,320
'And I want to get out of here but the only way I'm going to is if we do it their way.
313
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:48,600
'And I just hope you'll do what they say, Dad, and just do it quickly.
314
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,760
'And I mean I hope that this puts you a little bit at ease
315
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:57,280
'and that you know that I really, that I really am all right.
316
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,400
'I just hope I can get back to everybody really soon.'
317
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,640
'Wednesday the 13th day of February, and of course, it's the morning after the Hearst family received
318
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,080
'that letter from the Symbionese Liberation Army which was full of very bizarre demands.
319
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:23,800
'This morning an FBI man said that the demand for 300 million worth of free food for people
320
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:29,000
'on welfare was, in his words, in the realm of unreasonableness.'
321
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:35,520
You sounded a little tired, or like you were sedated, but you sounded all right and I'm sure
322
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,400
that the people that have you are telling the truth
323
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,880
when they say that they're treating you under the Geneva Convention.
324
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,560
I just want you to know that I'm going to do everything I can to get you out of there.
325
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:58,280
It's a little frightening because the original demand is what I was afraid of from the beginning...
326
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,200
One that's impossible to meet.
327
00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:10,560
However, in the next 24 to 48 hours I'll be trying my best to come back
328
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,720
with some kind of a counter offer
329
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,320
that's acceptable.
330
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:26,280
It's very difficult because I have no-one to negotiate with
331
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:33,600
except through a letter that generally comes two or three days later than we expect it.
332
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Anyway, you can rest assured that
333
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,440
your mother and I and all the family will do everything
334
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,520
we can to get you out.
335
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,120
Tell them not to worry. Nobody's going to bust in on them or start a shoot-up.
336
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,480
And you take care of yourself.
337
00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,800
They waited to see what Hearst would do and did very little work
338
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,800
to find out what the SLA might do, or who the SLA might be.
339
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,240
That ominous quiet continues at the Hearst home.
340
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,880
And that tense, frustrating wait goes on.
341
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,880
We never discussed it, as to - should we be doing this?
342
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:22,400
We're, you know, being a mouthpiece for the family, we're recording what they have to say.
343
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,120
We're recording what the bad guys are saying, their tapes,
344
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:31,120
we're just sort of being messengers back and forth. Are we really doing our jobs?
345
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,560
'Greetings to the people and fellow comrade brothers and sisters.
346
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,840
'My name is Cinque
347
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,760
'and to my comrades I am known as Cin.
348
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,360
'I hold the rank of General Field Marshall
349
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,160
'in the United Federated Forces of the Symbionese Liberation Army.
350
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,960
'The SLA has arrested the subject for the crimes that her mother and father
351
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:03,200
'have by their actions committed against we, the American people and the oppressed people of the world.
352
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,560
'Randolph A Hearst is the corporate chairman
353
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,920
'of the fascist media empire of the ultra-right Hearst corporation,
354
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:18,480
'which is one of the largest propaganda institutions of this present military dictatorship
355
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:25,560
'of the militarily armed corporate state that we now live under in this nation.
356
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:31,480
'The primary goal of this empire is to serve and form the necessary
357
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:38,240
'propaganda and smoke-screen to shield the American people from seeing the realities
358
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:43,880
'of the corporate dictatorship which Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford represent.
359
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,160
'In closing,
360
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:51,200
'I wish to say to Mr Hearst and Mrs Hearst, I am quite willing
361
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,120
'to carry out the execution of your daughter
362
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:59,760
'to save the life of starving men, women and children of every race.
363
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,160
'And if as you and others so naively believe
364
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:09,600
'that we will lose, let it be known that even in death we will win,
365
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:15,040
'for the very ashes of this fascist nation will mark our very graves.'
366
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,920
There was no doubt they were in control of the situation, no doubt.
367
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:27,880
And no doubt that they were in control, again, because they had the girl.
368
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,440
They had a Hearst. This is like uncrowned royalty.
369
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:41,800
They kicked off something, they had no idea of what the ramifications would be when they kidnapped her.
370
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,760
They did exactly what I for one didn't want to do.
371
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,440
And we were parked in front.
372
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,920
And we started out with cars. Then we got to Winnebagos.
373
00:31:54,920 --> 00:32:00,320
- Then we got to where some people stayed overnight.
- ..anxious about his daughter's plight.
374
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,720
This is the first time something like this has ever happened.
375
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,000
So there are no ground rules.
376
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,800
We got barbeque sets, wine, liquor.
377
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,160
Where's your microphone? I'm sorry, we're busy now.
378
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,040
This is one of the all-time great Nazi spies.
379
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,160
Al Bullock. Would you like to say a few words into the camera?
380
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,080
Not to this fascist pig press.
381
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:35,920
If the FBI did know where Patty Hearst was, what exactly would you do?
382
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,960
This would depend on the facts. We don't know where Patty Hearst is.
383
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,520
We're making no direct attempt
384
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,840
to find out, because we don't want to get Patty hurt.
385
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:54,960
At the time when Charlie was special agent in charge in San Francisco, the FBI really didn't know what to do.
386
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,080
They didn't have a clue about who these people were.
387
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:05,560
This was brand new and came out of nowhere, and in a lot of ways they looked in the wrong places.
388
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,600
These were people who were dangerous, obviously,
389
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,120
because they had already murdered one person
390
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,600
and they had set fire to a house.
391
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,960
How big they were? Underground support groups?
392
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,320
No idea whatsoever.
393
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:27,040
I mean, that's one of the reasons that the Bureau sent so many people in, was to try and approach this
394
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:32,040
as a terrorist investigation as well as a kidnap case.
395
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,480
The U-2 was flying sorties up over the High Sierra
396
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,720
looking at campsites and things like this during the initial search days.
397
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,680
The tapes were sent to CIA headquarters
398
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,000
to be listened to by blind people whose hearing is extremely acute.
399
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,320
And they heard things in the background that the ordinary ear would never pick up.
400
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,400
'Greetings to the people and comrades, sisters and brothers.
401
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,840
'My name is Gelina and I am a general in the Symbionese Liberation Army.
402
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:18,600
'The Symbionese War Council has determined that communication between POW Patricia Hearst and her family
403
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:24,160
'will come only after the immediate creation of the necessary mechanisms whereby Russell Little
404
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:29,000
'and Joseph Remiro can communicate via live national TV
405
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,840
'with the People and the SLA, concerning the full scope
406
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,600
'of their physical health and all the conditions of their confinement.'
407
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,440
Oh, man, the FBI came in and said, "Oh, hell no,
408
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,800
"we ain't about to let these guys go live on national TV, forget that."
409
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,240
I'd do everything I could to get them on the air and will.
410
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:55,760
They're the ones, as far as I'm concerned, whether Remiro and Little go on the air,
411
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,240
if the SLA wants them to go on the air, I'd be delighted to have them go on the air.
412
00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:04,520
They may tell me something that I don't know. It may gradually become
413
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,160
a conduit in which we can talk to the SLA.
414
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:13,880
I told him, "You know, what you're doing is giving them a satisfaction.
415
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,960
"You're putting them on a pedestal they don't belong."
416
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:25,120
I am being held as a Prisoner of War
417
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:30,960
and not as anything else. I mean, I am being treated in accordance with international codes of war.
418
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,120
And so, I mean, Dad, you shouldn't listen
419
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:39,040
or believe what anybody else says about the way I'm being treated, this is the way I'm being treated.
420
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,360
And I'm not left alone, and I'm not just shoved off somewhere.
421
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,440
I mean, I am fine.
422
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,800
Also, since I am an example, and it's really important that everybody
423
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,320
understand that, you know, I am an example and a warning.
424
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,200
And because of this it's very important to the SLA that I return safely.
425
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:03,640
And so people should stop acting like I'm dead.
426
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:08,520
Mom should get out of her black dress, that doesn't help at all.
427
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,320
And, er...
428
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,080
just take care of Steve,
429
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,960
and, well, just hurry. Bye.
430
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:23,560
You can argue that we shouldn't have dealt with the SLA.
431
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,080
You can argue that you shouldn't deal with radical groups.
432
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,640
You do all those kinds of things intellectually, until it becomes your daughter.
433
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:37,000
And after a short period of time Hearst said, "Hey, it's my daughter, we'll do whatever they want."
434
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,040
Arrangements have been made for 2 million
435
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,520
to be delivered to a tax-exempt charitable organisation
436
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,400
capable of making a distribution for the benefit of the poor and needy.
437
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:55,480
He walked out the front door and said, "Lud Kramer will handle the food distribution." And that was it.
438
00:36:55,480 --> 00:37:02,680
Gentlemen, this is Mr Ludlow Kramer, the Secretary of State of the State of Washington. This afternoon we met
439
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:07,320
with the coalition. Now we discussed the programme,
440
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,000
the model of it has been done in the State of Washington.
441
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,960
And one of the sad parts was the number of people that they grabbed
442
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,800
to help them that could do nothing.
443
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:24,160
It is very apparent that SLA has now seen
444
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,800
fit to use us as a liaison.
445
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:34,560
We made a plea for that to happen and now we are the liaison between the Hearst family and SLA.
446
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:40,600
They hired a couple of people to analyze every word she said and what it really meant, not what she said.
447
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,040
And paid them a lot of money.
448
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:48,000
- PATRICIA:
- I'm not being starved or beaten,
449
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,520
or unnecessarily frightened.
450
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:56,480
Psychics were in the house all the time. They were doing things and getting paid to do it.
451
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:01,240
But again, it was grabbing. It was a family... No matter how powerful
452
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:05,440
or great or good they may be who knew nothing about what was happening.
453
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,920
They had no comprehension of who they were dealing with
454
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,400
or how they were dealing with it, and at the start we didn't know who we were dealing with either.
455
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:27,000
Four days ago we had nothing, and in four days we've created the largest private volunteer organisation
456
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,760
in the history of this country.
457
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,560
The SLA is correct in the sense that people need funds, that people need the additional money.
458
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,280
We are not questioning that at all, and the 4,000 volunteers
459
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,800
that are working on this programme believe the same thing.
460
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,920
But we believe that it must be and can be an ongoing programme.
461
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,320
I went down there with Randy
462
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,480
and that was amazing.
463
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:54,080
So you had meat here, you had produce here, you had eggs here, you had bananas, whatever, whatever.
464
00:38:54,080 --> 00:39:00,640
And there were just assembly lines and at the end came out the box, as if the SLA was giving the gift,
465
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:06,960
right, with their insignia, that seven-headed snake nonsense, on either side.
466
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,520
I am convinced that Patricia Hearst is going to be released.
467
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,000
I believe that.
468
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,240
I'm also convinced
469
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:25,320
that the peoples of this land who have gone hungry are going to be fed.
470
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,360
APPLAUSE
471
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:36,560
I also believe that the corporate structures,
472
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,880
those who head the corporations of our land,
473
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,800
can now see
474
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:51,640
that sometimes it takes the most extreme situation to be heard.
475
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:57,320
Even though I disagree with the tactic of kidnapping and terrorism,
476
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,400
people are looking like they've never looked before in America.
477
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,480
APPLAUSE
478
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:14,600
It was what we always wanted, in a way. It was like a dream that you didn't want to wake up from.
479
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,440
Because, first of all, it was instant gratification.
480
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,880
They say "food programme", there was a food program just like that.
481
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,440
There was thousands of poor black people and poor Hispanics
482
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,360
in line showing poverty in America,
483
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:33,720
which is what we wanted to show for years and no-one would listen.
484
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,000
I hate to take advantage of what could happen to the young lady.
485
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,280
- But my children need food just like anybody else's kids.
- Right on!
486
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,720
We were like Robin Hood, we're coming in and we're going to feed people.
487
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:54,720
And maybe this can be an ongoing program for 20 years and we can do good things, and all that stuff.
488
00:40:54,720 --> 00:41:00,720
So sure, we didn't agree with the SLA, but we knew people were hungry.
489
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:03,000
HORN BEEPS
490
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,800
What literally happens, of course, is because of the lack of coordination, because
491
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,440
the chaos that surrounded it all,
492
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,320
it almost comes off as a racist episode
493
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:30,280
in which people look like damned fools fighting over a turkey.
494
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,120
Three of them were going smoothly - one, all hell broke loose.
495
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,840
All of a sudden people started coming in and saying,
496
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,040
"Do you know two people have been killed and murdered because you handled this so badly?"
497
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,920
People have been hurt, Mr Kramer.
498
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,200
One reporter and he's not badly hurt.
499
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,880
'It happened -
500
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,440
'so what are you going to do?'
501
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,200
I'm carrying out the wishes of the family.
502
00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:23,560
In the future,
503
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,640
every crime committed in connection with a kidnapping
504
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,680
will be prosecuted.
505
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,160
And I'm including
506
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:38,320
any persons who participate in any sort of a food distribution plan or a television set
507
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,200
distribution plan or any other kind of a distribution plan.
508
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,560
If it's done in response to extortion or kidnapping,
509
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,800
we'll encourage the local district attorneys to prosecute
510
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,600
under existing law and if they don't, we'll do it.
511
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:05,600
The size of the latest demand of the SLA is far beyond my financial capability.
512
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,960
Therefore, the matter is now out of my hands.
513
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:18,080
You know something Robin, I was just wondering. Are we good guys or bad guys?
514
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,800
You know, our robbing the rich to feed the poor.
515
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,160
That's a naughty word, we never rob.
516
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,840
- I've been robbed.
- Of course you've been robbed!
517
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:31,840
- PATRICIA:
- Mom, Dad.
518
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,240
I've been hearing reports about the food programme.
519
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:41,240
So far it sounds like you and your advisors have managed to turn it into a real disaster.
520
00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:46,240
You said that it was out of your hands - what you should have said was that you wash your hands of it.
521
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:49,640
It sounds like most of the food is low quality.
522
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,000
No-one received any beef or lamb.
523
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,400
Anyway, it certainly didn't sound like the kind of food our family is used to eating.
524
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:03,040
Oh, my God, what's this? The child is talking down to her rich dad.
525
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,440
I mean, this is what we all were doing for the last ten years.
526
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,040
Like I say, distilled in a moment.
527
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:15,480
It was like compressing matter, you know until it's just so...y'know.
528
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,920
Like I said earlier, I concede
529
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,880
that she may be actually having her doubts as to, you know,
530
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,920
from her point of view, it may look like we've made a mess of things.
531
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:33,600
- What is her political point of view?
- Previous to the last two months, I'd say she really didn't have one.
532
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,200
I think that by the time this is over
533
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,520
she's going to have some sort of a political view.
534
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,640
There's no way of getting around that.
535
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,400
- PATRICIA:
- Mom, Dad.
536
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:59,640
Tell the poor and oppressed people of this nation what the corporate state is about to do.
537
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:05,400
Warn black and poor people that they are about to be murdered down to the last man, woman and child.
538
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,520
Tell the people that the energy crisis is nothing more than
539
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:15,600
a means to get public approval for a massive program to build nuclear power plants all over the nation.
540
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,760
Tell the people the entire corporate state is, with the aid
541
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:25,600
of this massive power supply, about to totally automate the entire industrial state
542
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:31,760
to the point that in the next five years, all that will be needed is a small class of button pushers.
543
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,280
Tell the people, Dad, that the removal
544
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:40,280
of expendable excess, the removal of unneeded people has already started.
545
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:47,520
I have been given the choice of one - being released in a safe area, or two - joining the forces
546
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,240
of the Symbionese Liberation Army
547
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:53,560
and fighting for my freedom and the freedom of all oppressed people.
548
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,000
I have chosen to stay and fight.
549
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,720
I have been given the name Tania
550
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:03,640
after a comrade who fought alongside Che in Bolivia.
551
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:09,640
It is in the spirit of Tania that I say, "patria o muerte, venceremos."
552
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,760
All of a sudden, within days,
553
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:24,800
"We Love You Tania" because that's the name she chose... It was like...
554
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:30,840
it was just so unreal. And that's all the media talked about.
555
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,800
I don't even know what to compare it with. It was like...
556
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,640
it was like...
557
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:43,920
it was like the '49ers in '81 being all of a sudden on their way to the Superbowl. It was magical.
558
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,000
It was just like the home team.
559
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,040
It was like the '69 New York Mets.
560
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,200
It was like... It was the ultimate David and Goliath.
561
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:57,560
And it was like they tell them, "We want food." They tell them, "We want better food."
562
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,400
This, that, and they just comply and they just folded.
563
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,320
And it's just a few people
564
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,520
and nothing ever like that had ever happened before.
565
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,600
Everything else was a failure.
566
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,640
Joe and I would read this stuff and just look at each other and like,
567
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:24,320
you know, "Is everybody stoned, what's going on over here?"
568
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,240
You don't think she's come round to thinking their way?
569
00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:29,800
Oh, I know Patty too well to think that she's going to come
570
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,200
around like that, I really don't.
571
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:37,160
- But why do you think she would say those things?
- I guess she only hears one side of the story.
572
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,520
The whole time she's been there she's heard one side.
573
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:43,320
And maybe from where she is, she looks out and says, "What's going on?"
574
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:48,400
- She only hears one side, like I said, and she just doesn't know the whole thing.
- You don't believe it?
575
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,280
No, I don't believe it.
576
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:55,920
We're in more or less shock over this thing
577
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,160
and until we know more about it we haven't anything to say.
578
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:04,000
I think, and I don't remember all the details, but I think
579
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,800
that's the only time he cried.
580
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,720
That really broke his heart.
581
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:21,000
You had people who were telling him that she's been brainwashed.
582
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:26,000
So they had that...
583
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,240
rock to hold on to.
584
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:37,480
Until she walks in the door and tells them personally
585
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,120
that she's a member of the SLA,
586
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,960
common sense dictates that you have to accept that she is still
587
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,200
being held prisoner by the SLA.
588
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,440
If she is not, there's no reason in the world why she cannot come
589
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:57,440
and make this statement in person and walk back out the door, as her parents said she could.
590
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:04,200
We spoke to a lot of people who had become familiar with this phenomenon, the so-called "Stockholm Syndrome"
591
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:08,600
in which people get kidnapped and identify with their kidnappers.
592
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:13,240
The thesis of the Stockholm Syndrome is that every day your captor
593
00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:19,080
lets you live, you more closely identify with that captor,
594
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:26,560
up until even sexual attraction. And to me she was a classic Stockholm Syndrome case.
595
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,400
If I would have been there, part of the kidnapping?
596
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:35,280
No, no, God, no. I can't imagine letting her stay.
597
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,560
I mean, I know her and Willie, you know, they were in love,
598
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,240
all this other stuff and she was pissed off at her parents...
599
00:49:42,240 --> 00:49:44,800
- Will you come with me?
- To Sherwood?
600
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,440
I have nothing to offer you but a life of hardship and danger, but we'd be together.
601
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:54,800
Because I love you, Robin, I'd come. Even danger would mean nothing if you were with me.
602
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,760
As for my ex-fiance, the fact is,
603
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,560
I don't care if I never see him again.
604
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:07,080
During the last few months, Steven has shown himself to be a sexist, ageist pig.
605
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:15,200
All right, I'm not in any particular...
606
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:21,320
right frame of mind perhaps to be talking now. I finished listening to the tape a few minutes ago.
607
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:26,720
But it seemed important to me to say some things that I'm feeling right now
608
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:30,560
and not think about them too much and screw it up.
609
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:38,760
The SLA has said that they are the instrument of the people
610
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:43,760
and yet the will of the people has been, at least lately, that,
611
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:48,040
and the will of the two captured soldiers, has been
612
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,120
to give Patty her freedom.
613
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,000
I am reconciled
614
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:01,360
to the idea that Patty must have matured a great deal in the past two months.
615
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:06,240
I just want to tell Patty that I love her as much as ever
616
00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:10,560
and I think she knows that I can accept whatever she has chosen.
617
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,760
Even though it may be hard for me, I can accept it.
618
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,400
It was just like total Hollywood. But I guess the whole thing
619
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:28,120
had turned into Hollywood so why shouldn't it be Hollywood for her? "Yeah, I'll go join Robin Hood."
620
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:42,280
'Combat operation, April 15th, 1974 - The Year of the Children.
621
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,320
'Action - appropriation.

635
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,720
'Therefore the subject was shot.'
636
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:43,200
It was Bonnie and Clyde. It was all that kind of thing that's very American, actually, at the core.
637
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:48,320
It's just that these guys were just doing it so...artistically.
638
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,600
The Hibernia Bank, Sunset branch,
639
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:04,680
was held up at gunpoint this morning at 9.40.
640
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,600
10,960 was taken in cash.
641
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,200
Witnesses state -
642
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:15,160
five of the bank robbers entered the bank while four remained outside.
643
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:21,320
All made a getaway in two automobiles after firing several shots from automatic weapons.
644
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,440
In addition, Patricia Campbell Hearst
645
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:28,400
has been named in a Federal Warrant charging her with being a material witness to the bank robbery.
646
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,960
At this point we are simply saying we want to talk to Patricia Hearst.
647
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,280
I took the tape of Patricia Hearst
648
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:43,800
in the bank robbery over to the Berkeley School for the Deaf.
649
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:50,440
And they read her lips as to what she was saying in the bank.
650
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,080
"I'm Tania.
651
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,640
"Up, up, up against the wall."
652
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,600
And then everybody giggled because they couldn't say it.
653
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:02,960
- I said, "MF?" And they said, "Yeah!"
- If that was Patty Hearst, she had her hand on that gun.
654
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:08,080
She did have her hands on the trigger and ready to shoot anything that got in her way.
655
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,920
- PATTY:
- Greetings to the people, this is Tania.
656
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:18,320
Our action of April 15th forced the Corporate State to help finance the revolution.
657
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:24,600
As for being brainwashed, the idea is ridiculous to the point of being beyond belief.
658
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,400
I am a soldier in the People's Army.
659
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,200
The FBI looked like a bunch of idiots.
660
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,960
You know, here they couldn't find this little band of kids.
661
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,040
They couldn't catch these people. They were putting out communiques.
662
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:51,080
They were forcing this stuff to be fed live, unedited,
663
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,680
to the whole country.
664
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,400
Sure, they were pissed, man.
665
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,360
They wanted them dead.
666
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:05,560
'To B-Team Commander and all elements of anti-aircraft forces of the SLA,
667

'were preparing to trap us on the San Francisco peninsula.

00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:29,320
The area is very small, surrounded by water, and with limited choices

00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,400

They went to Los Angeles.
681
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:15,320
They left a message for the FBI, and Charlie you know, and said, "Beat you again, see you later,"
682
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,600
and took off.
683
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,800
< Do you assume that "happy hunting, Charles" was directed at you that was written on that wall?
684
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,800
I don't know. I haven't seen that.
685
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:30,200
There are a lot of people named Charles, Charlie. I haven't lost any sleep over it.
686
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:36,760
DeFreeze made some mention of, like, psychological warfare against the police.
687
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:40,160
It was like trying to fake the police out.
688
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:44,320
But it seemed like he totally lost track of that.
689
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:45,840
Well, are you doing this for the police?
690
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,800
Is the communique for the police?
691
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,600
Or is it to try to explain to people what you're doing?
692
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,720
I mean, who is if for? They seem to have lost
693
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,840
sight of...who are you trying to communicate with?
694
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,480
Why even worry about the police? Who cares what they think? They hate you, they want to kill you.
695
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:16,560
A lot of this is fantasy in their mind. I mean, they're living out a fantasy that's Peter Pan.
696
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,480
It was like watching a movie,
697
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:26,120
and there's the gang that we want to win.
698
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:30,600
You know, it was... Oh, we were pulling for them so much!
699
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:36,240
But it wasn't like, "Where do we go to join up," or anything like that.
700
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:45,320
They could not carry on what they were doing in Los Angeles.
701
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,680
It was a different culture and they soon found that out.
702
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:55,560
DeFreeze might have convinced them that he knew about Los Angeles but he didn't. He was from Cleveland.
703
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:04,160
On the late afternoon of May 16, 1974, at Mel's Sporting Goods Store,
704
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:11,920
Englewood, California, William Harris attempted to shoplift a pair of socks.
705
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:16,760
As William and Emily Harris departed Mel's Sporting Goods,
706
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,920
a scuffle ensued,
707
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:23,200
after which the store employees were the target of fire
708
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,680
from a van parked across the street.
709
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:32,560
Patricia Hearst fired the shots at Mel's Sporting Goods.
710
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,880
If there had not been the lifting of a pair of sweat socks,
711
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,320
did you have any indication that they had gone to LA?
712
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,440
No. We had none as of that time, no.
713
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,480
Mr Bates, are you saying that you had no idea that they had moved to Los Angeles?
714
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,640
- That's right.
- That's incredible, isn't it?
- Is it incredible?
715
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:58,480
When we interviewed people who they'd stayed with, they were so stoned out on reds
716
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,400
they could barely keep their eyes open.
717
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,680
But they turned them in, too, you know. "Don't burn my house
718
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:10,720
"down for your revolution" - that was the attitude.
719
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,800
'Yes, you do indeed know me.
720
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,720
'You have always known me.
721
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,360
'I'm that nigger you have hunted and feared night and day.
722
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,600
'I'm that nigger you have killed hundreds of my people
723
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,880
'in a vain hope of finding.
724
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,520
'That nigger that is no longer just the hunted, robbed and murdered.
725
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,120
'I'm the nigger that hunts you now.
726
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,160
'Yes, you know me. You know us all.
727
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:37,680
You know me, I'm the wetback.
728
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,440
'You know me, I'm the wetback, gook, the broad, the servant, the spick.
729
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:49,000
'Yes, indeed you know us all, and we know you, the oppressor, murderer and robber.
730
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,560
'And you have hunted and robbed and exploited us all.
731
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,640
'Now WE are the hunters that will give you no rest.
732
01:00:55,640 --> 01:01:00,040
'And we will not compromise the freedom of our children.
733
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:04,160
'Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people.'
734
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,760
They're getting ready for an assault, and there's no doubt about that.
735
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:20,640
Before we stop counting, there's another, about five plainclothes police cars have moved in
736
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:26,080
on to the corner, on Compton Avenue here. Officers with weapons, with loaded weapons.
737
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:30,760
Ah, now more officers are moving right in the position where we were. So they must be getting ready.
738
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,280
There's no doubt about that in my mind.
739
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,040
Occupants of 1466 come out now!
740
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:46,240
Come out with your hands up. Come out of the house and you will not be harmed. Come out! Hands up!
741
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:53,560
Maybe the people inside the house are thinking, "That's like when the San Francisco police say give up" -
742
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:59,400
it means you don't have to right away. But in LA it meant you had to right away.
743
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:08,680
- That white house with the two windows there?
- As far as I can determine. You've got as close as I have.
744
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,040
GUNFIRE That's bad! That's bad!
745
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,840
Stay over on the other side of the street!
746
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,920
Hey, get out of there! Get out of there, they're shooting that way!
747
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:31,320
'We need additional ambulances to come down because we're gonna have some injuries if this keeps up.'
748
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:36,200
- Cover this driveway, please!
- They're moving us back. They're moving us back.
749
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:40,120
This was right at the time when the technology changed
750
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:44,680
in television. As far as I know this was the first time something
751
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:49,680
like that that wasn't a planned event was actually carried live nationwide.
752
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,200
I mean, the whole world is watching this shootout.
753
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:59,320
'Listen up, because we're going to need your assistance. We need all ammo that we've got in the safe.
754
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:04,480
'We're taking automatic fire front and back from this location, they're much better armed than we are.'
755
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,720
They have more ammunition than the police do which is an incredible thing, it's hard to believe.
756
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:14,160
There's no reason to believe we're going to get loose here. We're going to be pinned down here a long time.
757
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:31,120
We are on the scene. You can't get closer that we're standing right now and not have your brains blown out.
758
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:37,200
Good God! If you ever had a condition, as I said before, where the left doesn't know when it's won,
759
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:43,840
if the SLA had thought about it at all, they'd won, they could have given up and made a speech there.
760
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:48,840
They had the whole world listening to them. And they decide to fight.
761
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,240
OK, we got one coming out!
762
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:07,600
40 David to CP, authorisation to use fragmentation type grenades?
763
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:20,120
- Are they white people?
- Back up, back up!
764
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:29,440
'She advised that there is a black male and white females within the building.
765
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,440
'All armed, all firing.'
766
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,440
RADIO: 'Stay put. Stay put. We have two other crews in the area.'
767
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:44,400
- That house is on fire, man! What, smoke grenades?
- The fire is raging. Now we've got a better vantage point
768
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,400
and we're trying to bring you these live pictures as they occur.
769
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,840
Hold your fire! Everybody, hold your fire!
770
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,280
'One person was brought out.
771
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,440
'We haven't seen anyone else come out of there.
772
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,920
'Of course, we're not really in a position to have seen them, but I believe they would have
773
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:01,160
'brought them around this corner and down if they had.
774
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,800
'And, of course, the obvious conclusion is that the Los Angeles Police
775
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:11,720
'have indeed found the nesting place of the Symbionese Liberation Army and there's not much left of it now.'
776
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:26,080
They just went in and killed everybody.
777
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,320
Joe and I heard the whole thing.
778
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,680
We couldn't see anything
779
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:35,000
where we were. We didn't have TV's or anything like that.
780
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,920
But we heard the whole shootout.
781
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,960
We kept hoping it wasn't them at first, you know.
782
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:49,880
Once we heard them firing thousands of rounds of ammunition and shooting high temperature teargas grenades
783
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:55,760
in there and setting the place on fire, eventually we realised that it must be them.
784
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,640
And we figured, "Well, this is it.
785
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:05,280
"This is what we were afraid of and now it's happened".
786
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:23,200
'Los Angeles County Coroner, Thomas Naguchi, faced a jam-packed news conference after autopsies
787
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,800
'were completed on the bodies found in the wreckage of the SLA hideout.'
788
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:34,280
'Dr Thomas Naguchi just called the Hearst residence and talked with Mr Hearst just a few minutes ago.

'they have examined all of the five bodies taken from that house in Los Angeles,

'I repeat, was not in that house yesterday.'
793
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,560
They knew that Hearst was not in that house. That was all bullshit.
794
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:08,680
They knew because of how Bill and Emily and Hearst had gotten away
795
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,360
and the path that they had
796
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:14,680
taken and everything, and when they had surrounded that house and put it under surveillance and all that.
797
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:17,080
They knew she wasn't there. That was all bullshit.
798
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:22,680
It was quite certain that the Harrises and Patty
799
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:26,720
had not gotten back to the residence down there.
800
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,040
Why there was no negotiation?
801
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,720
It's not by the book.
802
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,280
It's not by the book.
803
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,840
Did they start shooting from the inside out first? I don't know.
804
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:43,360
They don't teach you that in hostage negotiation courses, that's for damned sure.
805
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:52,600
I think if you took a poll in the Los Angeles area that the citizens
806
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,080
would not only be supportive of the way
807
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,280
the police handled it, my feeling is that
808
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,400
their feeling is one of admiration for the way the police handled it.
809
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:05,000
I know that there were some people who said, "Well, gee,
810
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,840
"instead of telling them to come out in five minutes they should have given them ten minutes".
811
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,240
Somebody else suggested they should have starved them out.
812
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,760
You know, these may be well meaning people
813
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,400
but I think they forget the setting in which the police operated.
814
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,160
'Greetings to the people.
815
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:32,160
'This is Tania. I want to talk about the way I knew our six murdered
816
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:36,920
'comrades because the fascist pig media have, of course,
817
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:41,600
'been painting a typically distorted picture of these beautiful sisters and brothers.
818
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:46,560
'Cinque was in a race with time, believing that every minute must
819
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:50,640
'be another step forward in the fight to save the children.
820
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,320
'Gelina was beautiful.
821
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:57,160
'She taught me how to fight the enemy within through her struggle
822
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:58,760
'with bourgeois conditioning.'
823
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,440
'Gabi crouched low with her ass to the ground.
824
01:09:02,440 --> 01:09:07,520
'She practised until her shotgun was an extension of both her arms.
825
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,960
'Zoya, female guerrilla.
826
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:15,120
Perfect love and perfect hate 'reflected in stone cold eyes.
827
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,880
'Fahizah taught me to shoot first and make sure the pig is dead
828
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,960
'before splitting. She was wise and bad.
829
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:28,000
'Cujo was the gentlest, most beautiful man I've ever known.
830
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:32,840
'He taught me the truth as he learned it from beautiful brothers
831
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,360
'in California's concentration camps.
832
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:39,520
'Neither Cujo or I had ever loved an individual the way we loved each other.
833
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:45,560
'Our relationship's foundation was our commitment to the struggle and our love for the people.
834
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:52,240
'I died in that fire on 54th Street, but out of the ashes I was reborn.
835
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:53,960
'I know what I have to do.'
836
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:05,920
I want to talk about the atrocity that took place in Los Angeles.
837
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,440
I'm really angry, so people have to bear with me.
838
01:10:08,440 --> 01:10:12,400
I'm still angry for what I saw and the things I heard that went down
839
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,000
in LA on Saturday afternoon.
840
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:15,720
You know, I want to deal with the beginning.
841
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:21,160
It takes the actions of SLA to feed poor people in this state,
842
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,560
throughout the United States of North America.
843
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:32,000
It'll take many more SLAs to come along and deal with fascist elements in this fascist, racist country
844
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,880
that we are confronted with as so-called American citizens.
845
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:40,120
Here's the most notorious kidnap victim in the world, travelling
846
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,120
with the two best known kidnappers
847
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:49,280
in the world, and yet they slide into Berkeley unnoticed and are given
848
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,720
safe refuge almost immediately.
849
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,600
Cinque, Willie, Camilla,
850
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:59,680
Mizmoon and Fahizah were viciously attacked and murdered by 500 pigs
851
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,600
in LA while the nation watched.
852
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:06,160
And now the media is trying to say they were trying to escape by tunnelling
853
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,320
under the house where they had chickened out at the last minute.
854
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:12,360
Well, I believe that Gelina and her comrades fought to the last minute.
855
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:19,600
And though I would like to have her be here with me right now, I know that she lived and she died happy.
856
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:24,640
SLA soldiers, although I know it's not necessary to say, keep fighting.
857
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,440
I'm with you, and we are with you.
858
01:11:27,440 --> 01:11:28,960
Right on!
859
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:38,440
The door could have knocked with Emily, Bill or Patty Hearst saying, "God, they're trying to kill us,
860
01:11:38,440 --> 01:11:43,160
"we need help." They could have knocked on 200 doors in Berkeley and 150 would have hid them out.
861
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:47,040
We were just the ones that happened to have the door knocked.
862
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:58,080
Bill becomes the new leader of the SLA.
863
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:03,080
He's the surviving male guy, the authority figure, and he wants to be
864
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,400
the new General Field Marshall.
865
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,560
So General Teko takes over.
866
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,600
I'd have to say that
867
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,800
once I met all three of them,
868
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:21,480
I was kind of disappointed in how flat they were.
869
01:12:21,480 --> 01:12:24,440
They didn't seem to be that smart.
870
01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:28,560
There wasn't a fingernail of charisma among the three of them.
871
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,760
That was kind of dawning on me,
872
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,840
how middle class they all seemed.
873
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:43,240
'I renounced my class privilege when Cin and Cujo gave me the name Tania.
874
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:50,240
'And I would never choose to live the rest of my life surrounded by pigs like the Hearsts.'
875
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:55,560
I just hope everybody will remember that physically Patty is still
876
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,240
a kidnap victim, she was taken away against her will.
877
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:05,840
And, psychologically, she's a victim of thought control by terrorists.
878
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:11,200
And all I can do is hope and pray that God will bring her home again.
879
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:20,160
'Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people.'
880
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:40,880
To this day I can't understand why the need was felt to keep on
881
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:46,360
with this kind of militaristic fantasy.
882
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,880
Just end it and be done with it and good luck.
883
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,360
These four, as soon as they entered the bank,
884
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:21,720
announced that it was a hold-up, everyone to get down on the floor and put their faces in the rug.
885
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:25,480
And with that, a shot rang out, hitting Mrs Opsahl.
886
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:34,000
The leader of the group told everyone in the bank that,
887
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:38,120
if they didn't co-operate, they would receive the same in return.
888
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:42,640
With that, two of the individuals vaulted the counter, start scooping up the cash.
889
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:46,760
They were kicking people in the head, stepping on their faces
890
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:50,920
and just shouting profanity throughout.
891
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,720
There was nothing left to be gained by the SLA
892
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,760
at the point of that Carmichael Bank robbery, except money.
893
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,160
I think the killing scared the hell out of them,
894
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:17,160
not just because it would mean the police were after them more, but because
895
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:22,720
it was an immoral thing to have happened. It was not something they meant to do.
896
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:28,560
And I think that bothered them more than people realise.
897
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,320
I have family in the world.
898
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,880
I have friends in the world. I don't want to be thought of as a murderer.
899
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:36,520
I don't want to be thought of
900
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,240
as some fucking maniac that goes and shoots up a bank,
901
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,960
acting like a radical, leave a woman to die like that!
902
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:54,280
Now, if you're asking me, "Well, someone did that."
903
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,080
Obviously. I wasn't there.
904
01:15:56,080 --> 01:16:02,600
I didn't do it. If you ask me - can I say 100% that Jim or Kathy
905
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:07,400
or Patty or the Harrises or Wendy did or did not do it, I can't say.
906
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,520
It looks like there's some involvement there, isn't there,
907
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,920
somewhere along the line? But I don't know.
908
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:14,960
They lied about me that bad.
909
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,880
I don't know.
910
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:23,440
I don't know. I can't honestly say on the stand...
911
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:30,240
I mean, how am I going to know who is or is not involved if I'm really not involved, you know?
912
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:34,200
But... And I don't really care.
913
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,600
I don't care.
914
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:46,920
At 2.25pm, less than 30 minutes ago,
915
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:54,240
we arrested Patty Hearst at 625 Morse in the Outer Mission district.
916
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:03,600
We did observe two people who looked like they could be Bill and Emily Harris,
917
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,560
and, as a result, the arrest was made.
918
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,880
Oh, boy. Here we go, here we go.
919
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:27,360
This is it. That's her! Hey, Patty!
920
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:28,880
Hey, Patty!
921
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,560
CHEERING AND WHISTLING
922
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:37,720
'But it was Patty Hearst herself who gave a clue that she is a far different person
923
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:42,000
'now than the 19-year-old girl who was kidnapped 19 months ago.'
924
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:48,280
When asked for her occupation while being booked she told the officer, "urban guerrilla".
925
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:53,920
And all these naive radicals just hearing
926
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,200
what they wanted to hear, basically.
927
01:17:56,200 --> 01:18:00,240
You know, they wanted a rich person to convert to their cause.
928
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:07,000
She was just, they just had a mutual agenda for a while, that's all it was as it turned out.
929
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,640
We were all fooled.
930
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:15,480
I don't believe Patty's legal problems are that serious.
931
01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:21,160
After all, she's primarily a kidnap victim. She never went off and did anything of her own free will.
932
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:34,880
It is probably the mystery story of the 20th century.
933
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:38,840
And it finally unfolded today, one version of it, Patty Hearst's
934
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:44,400
own version of it, here at the Federal Court House in San Francisco, as the whole world watched.
935
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:48,760
It unfolded in this shocking, chilling, and deeply moving affidavit
936
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,200
filed by Patty Hearst herself through her attorneys.
937
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,600
She was placed in a closet on the floor.
938
01:18:55,600 --> 01:19:02,840
The closet was approximately 5 to 6 feet in length and about 2½ or 3 feet in width.
939
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:07,680
During all this time she was in a constant state of fear and terror,
940
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:12,160
and expected at any moment to be murdered by her captors.
941
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:14,920
After an interminable length of time,
942
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,320
which seemed to her to be weeks,
943
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:22,160
she was released from the closet and seated with the gang of captors.
944
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,720
When the blindfold was removed
945
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,800
she felt as if she was on an LSD trip.
946
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:33,800
Everything appeared so distorted and terrible that she believed and feared she was losing her sanity.
947
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:38,840
She was put in an automobile and taken to a site,
948
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:44,240
which she now understands was a branch of the Hibernia Bank.
949
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:48,960
She was given a gun and directed to stand about in the centre of the bank counter.
950
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:53,120
Meanwhile, one of her captors, armed with a gun that was kept
951
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:59,280
pointed at her, kept an eye on her, and had told her in advance that if she made one false move
952
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:04,000
or did anything except announce her name, she would be killed instantly.
953
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:13,840
When she was taken back to her place of captivity, she was told by them that she was now guilty
954
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:18,040
of bank robbery and murder and that the FBI would shoot her on sight.
955
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:23,160
In her disordered and frightened mind, this appeared to her to be probable.
956
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:28,760
And it was so insisted upon by members of the gang that she finally came to believe it.
957
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:33,320
Her recollection of everything that transpired up to the time that she was arrested
958
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:38,240
has been as though she lived in a fog, in which she was confused,
959
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:42,680
still unable to distinguish between actuality and fantasy.
960
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:23,320
Part of the dilemma of understanding Patricia Hearst in this whole thing is that
961
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:27,640
there are so many obvious opportunities she had
962
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:32,360
to simply walk down the street, hail a cab, get in a car,
963
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:36,920
call her father, call me, anybody, and it was over.
964
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,160
She never did.
965
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:58,320
Well, this is quite a difference from last time, and thank you all.
966
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:01,680
I'm really happy to be going home.
967
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:05,400
And I want to thank my parents,
968
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,080
and my sisters, and Bernie,
969
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,720
and George too -
970
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:15,800
and all of the people on the committee to release me.
971
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,720
And this is what we worked so hard to get.
972
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:34,120
There it is. It's the commutation.
973
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:44,520
- Thank you all so much.
- Are you going to take a vacation of any kind?
974
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:48,600
- I am. Bye-bye.
- Where you going?
- Oh, I won't tell.
975
01:22:51,440 --> 01:22:57,720
As far as changing the whole society goes, it was always a pipe dream.
976
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:03,720
The true communist state where everybody is a brother to everybody else and we all share everything
977
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:09,040
and, you know, everybody lives happily ever after. I mean, I would've been fine with that.
978
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,240
But, yeah I know I'm older now.
979
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:16,480
People, they're working, they're paying their mortgage, they're worrying about their kids, you know.
980
01:23:16,480 --> 01:23:20,800
But when you're 21, 22, 23 years old...
981
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,320
I was 24 years old when I was arrested.
982
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:27,560
People talk about, "Hearst was only 19." Hey, we were all young.
983
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,080
Four former Symbionese Liberation Army members,
984
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:51,800
accused of murdering a Carmichael woman during a bank robbery in 1975, plead guilty today.
985
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:57,120
'In court, four of the SLA members who pulled off the heist,
986
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,480
'apologized 27 years after Myrna Opsahl was killed
987
01:23:59,480 --> 01:24:01,840
'in a bank robbery in Carmichael.'
988
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,880
Each entered a plea of guilty of murder in the second degree.
989
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:13,000
Mr Harris admitted that he was armed during the commission of the crime.
990
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,200
This is the time and the place for judgment and sentence.
991
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:21,240
The defendants will be remanded into custody to serve prison sentences.
992
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,800
As I stated last time,
993
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,680
the fact that...
994
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:35,560
Mrs Opsahl was murdered unintentionally in the bank
995
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:39,440
is of no consequence to the family.
996
01:24:39,440 --> 01:24:46,040
Or the fact that we beat ourselves up more than anyone could,
997
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:50,960
and really alienated ourselves from what we believed in
998
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,160
and ostracized ourselves.
999
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:56,480
And that's probably the saddest thing about
1000
01:24:56,480 --> 01:25:01,040
these kinds of cases, whether you're well intentioned or poor intentioned
1001
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:04,200
or not, there's not a good result.
1002
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:10,200
A woman is dead and many people suffer from those consequences.
1003
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:15,400
And I can offer nothing but my apologies and...
1004
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,080
I'm sorry.
1005
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:36,440
Miss Montague will be sentenced to eight years in prison.
1006
01:25:36,440 --> 01:25:39,640
Mr Harris will be sentenced to seven years in prison.
1007
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:42,240
Miss Olsen will be sentenced to six years in prison.
1008
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,320
Mr Bortin will be sentenced to six years in prison.
1009
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:48,200
APPLAUSE
1010
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:54,400
Now my next guest went from kidnap victim to terrorist.
1011
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,560
She was once the most wanted woman in America.
1012
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:19,160
Take a seat.
1013
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:25,640
It is truly remarkable to meet you because you are a part of all our history.
1014
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,920
It's something that intrigues everybody.
1015
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:34,640
Just to get an idea of why the kidnap happened, you were the grand-daughter of William Randolph Hearst.
1016
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:37,880
Your family were supremely rich.
1017
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,560
What was your childhood like?
1018
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:44,800
What was life like living like that?
1019
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:49,880
Well, it was great. I think it was really pretty perfect.
