Bless You

​@@rayepate1464 How old are you? Over 100?

😂😂😂😂😂

Im jealous. Bless u Dallas

Calm down.

+Kathleen McAuley No, he's on the level. Its not smart to confuse historical figures. Maybe it's you who should calm down.

Yes, and more than a year later, you're still butt hurt over the error. Correct it and move on with your life

Kathleen McAuley This is not the same person genius!

I actually met Clyde's baby sister Marie in the early 1990s when I worked at the Dallas Public Library. The Texas Dallas History Department had wrongly identified another picture of W.D. Jones as being Clyde. Marie was not pleased, but she calmed down after we started talking and she found out that I too grew up in West Dallas (many decades later). Once she chilled out we hunted down my co-worker who made the photo ID error and turned our wrath on him. Marie and I then spent time swapping stories about growing up with our gangster friends and kinfolks. The discussion was therapeutic for both of us. 😎💯

Half assed is y mistakes

This is interesting, do you have any documentation to validate this?

He was making a joke. Get it? Wheel Barrow? Clyde's surname was Barrow.

The exchange between Charles W Munro and musicaltheatergeek79 makes me laugh.

alneal100 Nah! Youre getting them confused with Kim Kardashian & Kanye West!! I mean, "NORTH WEST"? "DREAM WEST"? "CHICAGO WEST"?? 😄😄😄😄😄

alneal100 DICK!

Yes, it's a very good book.

I've studied the pair myself for over 20 years, and I've come to despise John Neil Phillips as a B&C historian. He befriended the families and former gang members and took their words as gospel about everything. He's not objective at all, and he seems simple-minded.

I've studied Bonnie and Clyde my entire life and my grandfather knew Raymond Hamilton. I think John Neal Phillips has a lot of erroneous information.

Today the banks(banksters)use computers too rob their customers.😈😈😈😈

Amen!!!

I saw the other day the tv series. Took me by surprise. They show Bonnie's crazy side and how Clyde got raped in jail and everything.

+thebarrochannel what's the series called?

Oh, the series... I lost track of that. I saw it like twice and then never again. I think it was on the History Channel. Probably named Bonnie and Clyde. Google it.

Yes, on A&E. With Emile Hirsch

That series was very inaccurate. Bonnie never killed. Its argued that she didn’t even participate in the gun fights. The series got low ratings for its inaccuracies.

Be my guest! Thanks for watching

I'm a little late like 4 years late but yes it is

Agreed. They suffered enough in life and May 23d

Yeah right

how are you related to him?

So was Clyde, and she and he robbed and kidnapped people

Different time.

In defense of the Texas policemen or whatever they were, Clyde was not going to get arrested. He was going to die or escape. They took that into account it seems when they set up that ambush. But it's also true that policemen were able to get away with much more back then. That's true as well.

Agreed

+Jackie Vester You do make a valid point, however I don't think people are "romanticizing" them as much as you've led yourself to believe, but are simply interested in the story and the era itself. Yes, Bonnie & Clyde were robbers and killers, however according to the people who knew them, local law enforcement agents like Ted Hinton, and surviving gang members, they weren't psychopaths who enjoyed wantonly killing people. Clyde was a bit trigger happy, but he'd much preferred to kidnap cops or citizens and drop them off somewhere over killing them. Clyde did express some remorse in confessions to his family. Bonnie in fact never killed anyone, and is only known to have possibly shot a gun on one occasion. To take interest in the history, what their motivations were, the economical factors that drove them, et cetera...doesn't lead people to believe "they knew them" or romanticize them.

But isn't the present day Government's the real thieves of society..even back in Bonnie / Clyde's time as well.. True outlaws..

*Bonnie in fact never killed anyone, and is only known to have possibly shot a gun on one occasion.* That is to say that none of the 12 murders attributed to the Barrow Gang can be linked to her, but she was indirectly responsible. After all, she often loaded the bullets that wounded/killed others. And she shot at cops on occasion (e.g. Joplin, failed Sowers ambush). That's a recent myth about Bonnie, btw, that she never fired a weapon, usually perpetrated by romantics. They like to paint their escapades as a joyriding romance and Bonnie as merely a ride-along girlfriend. That's romanticizing them, and it's very common despite your claims. The truth is, after Eastham, Clyde was a very broken and vengeful person. As soon as he was paroled, his main goal was to return to Eastham and raid the place. That's what sparked the crime spree, to fund the expedition. Bonnie sort of fell into Clyde's life of crime, but not accidentally. She was his willing accomplice and enabler. By the end, she had adopted his nihilistic views and both were on a suicide mission of sorts. They had contempt for the law (understandably) and made it known that they would rather go down fighting than return to prison. Thus, they garnered a fearless reputation, because they wouldn't hesitate to shoot when cornered.

Who worked at Eastham prison? A bunch of ex-convicts?!
