"Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people." -- SLA slogan

Patty Hearst was kidnapped on February 4, 1974 by the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army). She joined the SLA and changed her name to Tania (taken from the name of Commie Argentinean Norton motorcyclist Che Guevera's girlfriend). In 1974, the SLA were pretty much wiped out by gunfire in a shoot 'em up with the LA Cops. What was left of the SLA moved to Pennsylvania, and then later Sacramento. It was in Sacramento where a bank robbery went haywire, and they shotgunned Myrna Lee Opsahl to death.

SLA safe houses:

1721 W Street. The primary headquarters. The house isn't there anymore, an apartment is there now.

914 T St, upstairs, apt. #4. This is where they went after they croaked Opsahl.

2728 Capitol #6, Sutter Apartments. Now it's above the frat boy Monkey Bar

Banks they robbed:

Guild Savings and Loan. 4375 Arden Way. Got slightly more than $3,700. It's now a Hallmark Store

Crocker Bank. 5746 Marconi Ave. Carmichael. Now it's Ark Mission Church. It's where Emily Harris shot Opsahl with a 12 gauge scattergun.

This is a really good site, and instead of me having to look up the addresses, he already did it, and took pictures, and describes the event. Hippies beware, he's a right-to-lifer, but his site is still great.
