LCS in real life, check this out!
« on: January 07, 2014, 05:36:05 am »
Came across this on my weekly new surfing, and immediately thought of this game. The leader a Physics Professer, he goes and hires on a socialist worker, a taxi driver, and a graduate student to name a few. Their plan was to break into an F.B.I. office... And succeeded! http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/07/us/burglars-who-took-on-fbi-abandon-shadows.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 . Watch the story for yourself!

That's neat. LCS is based on real life, though. It was based on hard-left terrorist cells in the 70s and 80s, especially the Symbionese Liberation Army (best known for kidnapping and allegedly brainwashing heiress Patty Hearst).

Yes i've always known that as a fact. However watching a mini documentry about it is very interesting. Reading about something is one thing, watching a video is another...But when its made from the very people who admit to commiting the activism is amazing!

Well I suppose this is much better than our style of playing LCS, they got the documents without killing 73 people and blowing up 8 cars during the getaway !
