==== Hibernia Bank robbery ==== <!-- Unsourced image removed: [[File:Hearst-hibernia.jpg|thumb|220px|Patty Hearst (right) during the April 1974 Hibernia bank robbery.]] --> [[File:Hearst-hibernia-yell.jpg|thumb|220px|[[Patty Hearst]] (right) yelling commands at bank customers. SLA leader [[Donald DeFreeze]] can be seen to the left]] The SLA's next action was the armed robbery of the Hibernia Bank branch at 1450 Noriega Street in San Francisco, on April 15, 1974. The group needed money and chose this site, because they wanted to make a public statement and knew it had cameras, but they shot and wounded two people in the course of the robbery.<ref name="Guerrilla 2004" /> At 10:00 a.m., three armed SLA members rushed into the bank, including Hearst holding a rifle. Security camera footage of Hearst was carried internationally. In her memoir, ''Every Secret Thing'', she denied having participated willingly in the robbery and said she was threatened by other members. The group took more than $10,000 in the robbery.<ref name="PBS">{{cite web|date = 2005-02-16|url = https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/guerrilla/gallery/index.html|title = Gallery: The Hibernia Bank Robbery|publisher = [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]]|access-date = 2007-08-18|archive-date = 2007-10-15|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071015185348/http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/guerrilla/gallery/index.html|url-status = dead}}</ref> Hearst later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison on charges related to this. After she served two years in prison, President [[Jimmy Carter]] commuted the remainder of her sentence. President Bill Clinton gave her an official pardon.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Arlidge|first1=John|last2=Vulliamy|first2=Ed|date=2001-01-21|title=Clinton grants full pardon to Patty Hearst|url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jan/21/edvulliamy.johnarlidge|access-date=2021-08-15|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref>
