Symbionese Liberation Army

[Keith Millea]

Thanks for your postings on the SLA and the Panthers Magda.Brings back memories for me.As much as I hate the Bay Area now,I am so lucky to have been born and raised there at that particular point in history.

The L.A.P.D. had fore-knowledge of the Marin County Courthouse shoot-out, where Judge Haley was killed and others were wounded--and I don't mean fore-knowledge of the psychic variety. Jonathan Jackson, the patsy, had been promised a back-up, and another truck to assist him to free the captive prisoners. But when the action started, nobody was there to help him, and Jonathan Jackson was slain. So-called "friends" leave their patsies in the lurch, as in the case of Lee Harvey Oswald and other unsuspecting victims of espionage operations. (See "Jailbreak" in BSN No. 10, p. 2. From the above, it would appear that Jackson, Judge Haley, and other escapees and hostages were all patsies in what was essentially an attempt to convict Angela Davis of murder for having procured the guns used by Jackson.)

I was at the Marin County courthouse/jail one day,and happened to see Angela Davis in one of those little cubicals talking with her attorney.I just looked at Angela,she was very beautiful with that big Afro.

Again,I was in the Oakland courthouse one day,when 3 Panthers were there for a short hearing.They were in the same car with Eldridge Cleaver the day they had the big shootout.Cleaver was in Algeria at this time.
