Yes, the SLA was formed of a group of white middle class college students from Berkeley led by an ex-convict.
Uh-huh, and?
Now, where are we seeing white middle class college students again acting out in rage and ignorance against things like the military? Oh, right! BERKELEY again!
So non-violently protesting "against things like the military" is analgous to assassination and kidnapping?
You don't even really believe that. To borrow one of your pet phrases (where did you get that cliche from, anyway?), it's just very "useful" to you.
Same "causes".
Yeah, this is why I'm pretty sure you don't know anything about the SLA aside from its initials.
The SLA has more in common with the Manson Family than with Weatherman, much less a real (and effective) left-terrorist group like the Red Army Faction or the Red Brigades.
