- Gideon: Like the Symbionese Liberation Army that kidnapped Patty Hearst. Patty Hearst was a granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, who was kidnapped by the SLA in 1974 and held hostage. Then she started committing robberies with the group before being arrested. There was a great deal of public sympathy for her, but she still was convicted and served some time in prison before President Jimmy Carter commuted her sentence. She was eventually pardoned by President Bill Clinton.

- Elle: From the Munich Olympics to Iraqi insurgents At the beginning of the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich Germany, the 19 athletes on the Israeli team were taken hostage and murdered by a Palestinian terrorist group calling themselves Black September. To this day, athletes in the Olympic Village are not allowed to hang national flags in their windows because that was how Black September located the Israelis.

- Garcia says that John Blackwolf's father was killed by federal agents during the seige of Wounded Knee. The Massacre of Wounded Knee was in 1893. The American Indian Movement (AIM) occupied the site in 1973 to protest government injustices. It was intended to be a peaceful protest, but it ended up as a standoff with U.S. Armed Forces that resulted in deaths on both sides.
