Donald David DeFreeze (November 15, 1943 – May 17, 1974), also known as Cinque Mtume, was the leader of the American far-left militia group Symbionese Liberation Army, a group operating in the mid-1970s, under the nom de guerre "Field Marshal Cinque". ==Early life== DeFreeze was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to Louis and Mary DeFreeze, the eldest〔 ''(Patty Hearst's Chief Captor Emerges As a Man Capable of Love and Violence ), The Danville Register,'' April 14, 1974, p. 6A〕 of eight children.〔Caldwell, Earl, ('' 'Marshall Cinque' is Buried in Ohio'' ), ''The New York Times'' May 24, 1974, p. 38〕 His mother was a registered nurse at a convalescent home.〔 His father was a violent man who punished him three times as a child by breaking both his arms.〔 He dropped out of school in the ninth grade at age 14 and ran away from home. He moved to Buffalo, New York, where he lived with the Rev. William L. Foster, a fundamentalist minister, and his family.〔 He became a street gang member in Buffalo.〔Shane, Peter M, (''The SLA: Revolutionary Irresponsibility'' ), (''The Harvard Crimson'' ), May 29, 1974;〕 The Rev. Foster would say of him later: :"He was a get up and go kid... he had a heart that was as big as a house. But some of boys he used to hang around with, I didn't care for. You just knew they were 99 and 44/100 percent bad."〔 He was arrested for stealing from parking meters and stealing a car. He was sent to the state reformatory in Elmira, New York.〔 In 1970, DeFreeze wrote of his time here, which he called a prison or a mental institution: :"Life in the prison, as we called it, was nothing but fear and hate, day in and day out... I would not be part of any of the gangs, black or white...I didn't hate anyone, black or white, and they hated me for it."〔 DeFreeze moved to the Newark area. In 1963, he married Gloria Thomas, who had three children from a previous marriage. DeFreeze and Thomas had three children together.〔 In 1964 his wife had him arrested for desertion.〔(McLellan, Vin ), "(The Man and the Mystery Behind the Sla Terror )", ''People'', April 29, 1974〕 In 1965 DeFreeze moved with his family to California, where they settled in Los Angeles.〔 He said that the worries of trying to support the children engulfed him. He wrote, "I just couldn't take it anymore. I was slowly becoming a nothing".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donald DeFreeze」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
