Robber Baron's Progeny Robs Bank
Bank of America, formerly Security Pacific Bank, formerly Hibernia Bank, 1450 Noriega at 22nd Ave. In the spring of 1974, Patty "Tania" Hearst, grand-daughter of William Randolph "Citizen Kane" Hearst, knocked over this bank with her Symbionese Liberation Army comrades. Prior to the robbery, Patty was considered a victim by the cops and media. But when the bank's security cameras captured images of Patty brandishing a semi-automatic weapon during the heist, she suddenly became America's most famous revolutionary terrorist. After Patty was captured, Attorney F. Lee Bailey largely succeeded in reversing the transformation.
