Valerie Solanas Shot Andy Warhol

Valerie Solanas Shot Andy Warhol --- ===

June 3, 1968 Valerie Solanas Attempted 3 person mass shooting. alerie Jean Solanas (April 9, 1936 – April 25, 1988) was an American radical feminist and ... She met pop artist Andy Warhol and asked him to produce her play Up Your Ass. Convinced that Girodias and Warhol were conspiring to steal her work, Solanas purchased a gun in early 1968. On June 3, 1968, she went to The Factory which was Andy Warhol’s studio at the sixth-floor office at 33 Union Square West  carrying two guns [like a mass shooter] and a massive, paranoid grudge. She shot at Warhol three times, the first two shots missing and the third wounding Warhol. She also shot art critic Mario Amaya and attempted to shoot Warhol's manager, Fred Hughes, point blank, but the gun jammed. Solanas then turned herself in to the police. She was charged with attempted murder, assault, and illegal possession of a gun. She was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and pleaded guilty to "reckless assault with intent to harm", serving a three-year prison sentence, including treatment in a psychiatric hospital. After her release, she continued to promote the SCUM Manifesto. She died in 1988 of pneumonia in San Francisco.

Same year as killings of RFK and MLK, but can't possibly be connected. She used two guns like a professional terrorist and a manifesto which is standard operation procedure for modern mass shooters.  Was the script just a cover story for assassination?  She was a radical political propaganist, were Russians backing radical feminists?  Linked to? Manson Family John Lenon assasination?


SCUM Manifesto - Wikipedia radical feminist manifesto by Valerie Solanas, published in 1967. Prof. Ginette Castro found the Manifesto was "the feminist charter on violence", supporting terrorist hysteria.[65] Was she a political terrorist? Laura Winkiel argues that Solanas' shooting of Andy Warhol and Mario Amaya was directly tied to the Manifesto.[109][l][m] After shooting Warhol, Solanas told a reporter, "Read my manifesto and it will tell you what I am."[110] Heller, however, states that Solanas "intended no connection between the manifesto and the shooting".[102]Harding suggests that "there is no clear indication in Solanas' ambiguous statement to reporters that the contents of the manifesto would explain the specifics of her actions, at least not in the sense of providing a script for them."[111] Harding views the SCUM Manifesto as an "extension, not the source, of performative acts, even a violent one act like the shooting of Warhol."[112] She is apparently angry at anti-communists: "The male's chief delight in life -- insofar as the tense, grim male can ever be said to delight in anything -- is in exposing others. It doesn't' much matter what they're exposed as, so long as they're exposed; it distracts attention from himself. Exposing others as enemy agents (Communists and Socialists) is one of his favorite pastimes, as it removes the source of the threat to him not only from himself, but from the country and the Western world. The bugs up his ass aren't in him, they're in Russia."
