we had no idea. emily and angela and i were trying to understand what was going on and listening to what they had to say. because of the nature of the foster assassination, i was prepared to possibly not be impressed. joe and russ were not happy with that particular operation. i think they were troubled by it enough to talk to emily and me and angela about hooking up with them and separating off into a separate cell. that was my intention always. combination of patience, despair, the real malaise of my own existence, you know. and the ineffectualness of the left was what caused me to make this decision. about the beginning of january, okay, 1974 when we finally come to that decision. january 10th, 1974, literally
parking lot, they shot marcus foster dead at point-blank range. the theory was that defreeze, nancy ling perry and moon soltysik were the shooters and joe remiro and russ little were the lookouts. remiro and little had guns with them but they were not involved in the shooting. in a communique to newspapers, the sla took credit for foster s murder. it was the first time anyone had ever heard of the group. they were proud of what they had done and they put out a press release or a statement saying they had done this. the sla was not indiscriminately issuing death warrants for foster, blackburn or anyone else. such an attack was the only means left open to us to demand that the people s wishes be met and all such dangerous genocidal programs be stopped. i was surprised by it. i didn t know they even existed. so i was thinking, oh, my

two men, joseph remiro and russell little, were arrested for foster s murder. they refused to talk about their membership in the symbionese liberation army. joe and russ were arrested a few blocks away from the safe house. there were so many cops in the area trying to figure out what was going on. defreeze, nancy and mizmoon had to abandon the safe house. they had things that were stored in his house and it had been a safe house. i m not even sure for how long, but a long time. there were boxes and boxes of stuff. after they soaked the house in 20 gallons of gasoline, they attempted to torch the house. and unfortunately someone lowered the garage door, all the windows were closed because it was wintertime. but when they closed the garage door, it cut off the oxygen to the
