    Man this taught me a valuable lesson, even journalism in the 60's was a hack job. This didn't happen this way..... like it's almost fiction......EVEN HOW THE DEATH HAPPENED🤨
    Edit: If you care Blanche Barrow kept a diary and after she died her "memoirs" were released which is why we know so much about Bonnie and Clyde......Good read 👌

      Keep in mind that Blanche wrote her memoirs while in prison, she omitted many things in her story because she didn't want to take any chances of getting herself into even more trouble, and in my opinion, the best book you can read for truth is "Fugitives" by Jan Fortune... the book was written while Bonnie and Clyde were still alive and was published a few months after their deaths, Jan Fortune spent over a year sitting and talking with both Emma and Nell to get their stories, it's the story as told by Emma Parker "Bonnies mother" and Nell Barrow "Clydes sister"....it gives great insight into the kind of people Bonnie and Clyde really were.....

    The more I learn about the real history, the more I get turned off by the classic 1968 movie. It took liberties to make a parable for the Vietnam era in America, but the real story - including the horrendous prison system of the 1930s that was as criminal as the inmates themselves - is way more interesting. I don't like it when movies change history to tell their story, when the real events were so much more fascinating.

      This documentary also got a lot of things wrong. For one, when the two motorcycle cops are killed, the witness farmer actually lived three quarters of a mile away, and seen nothing. Another witness claimed he seen two men do the shooting, and that witness lived like 30 feet away. Methvin later confessed him and Clyde did it. He said Clyde said 'let's take them', and he thought Clyde meant to kill them, but he wanted to kidnap them. That was one of his hobbies, kidnapping cops, but Methvin did not realize that. The farmer actually did a video interview, and in the interview he is far away from the scene of the crime in the spot he said he was at when it happened, but still claims he heard and saw everything. Again he lived 3/4 of a mile away, and clearly heard and saw nothing. The other witness who made claims actually lines up to Methvin's confession.

    Bonnie & Clyde these days (though very famous from the film) are portrayed as unworthy of Dillinger, Floyd, and so forth. but after being on-line for 8 years or so, I've learned stuff about Barrow that if it'd been all in the public record during their day, JD would muster some respect. Clyde was what they call in boxing today, a junior lightweight . at full grown he was small. a bull queer (then it was a reference to cons who turned toward boys, sexually) met up w/ him in Eastham prison farm, repeatedly got Barrow in the shower more than once. Clyde got hold of a lead pipe, after arranging for a lifer to take a murder rap as a deal, and the lifer hated the rapist also. CB smuggled something a lot harder than a towel or a robe into the shower and murdered him. but it gets better. Eastham Farm in Texas was a misery factory used for housing and torturing, and killing prisoners. Clyde Barrow hated that shit hole so much ,he swore he'd come back and liberate the can, killing as many guards as possible. and, after strategically placing weapons in 'heads up' spots on the farm grounds, it happened .sheer hatred for the Texas prison system, not money, motivated this crime.

    There was lots of hungrey bellies back in those days and children didn't grow healthy there growth had been stunted from malnutrition then add on the great depression. Many children were left orphaned as their parents succumbed to illness; died of injuries substained at the workplaces, or starved. This came known as the Orphan Train Children. Now as for Clyde and Bonnie murder you must pay but, they had hearts they were human and gave lots of money and fed many of people still there was murder. However, there families should of sued for the way they had been ambushed there were no capturing, no rights given, out in out murdere . The officers and officials would never get away with that type of ambush these days. They should just put Bonnie with Clyde and let it rest. The family left should be suing if you ask me they out in out murdered Bonnie and Clyde.

      I was about to ask that question myself. In all my years I'd never heard of the "post drop", but rather the staged truck story where B&C stopped help. Also, don't recall ever hearing a version of events where B&C engaged in a gunfight with Hamer et al. In the on-scene original motion picture and still photos it does not appear that they were in a physical position to be returning fire. They look to have been caught by surprise.

      Hamer would never openly admit to the deal with the Methvin family as he had promised to keep it secret initially and saw it as protecting his informats. So even though almost everyone figured out what had happened damn near by the time the blood was dry, Hamer himself always stuck to the somewhat implausible "mail drop" scenario that'd been concocted beforehand.

If you look into it he launched a very unpopular basically one man campaign against the Texas Bankers Association to put an end to their "$5000 Reward for dead bank robbers, not 1 cent for live ones!" reward system because people (many in law enforcement) were setting up gullible small time criminals for bank jobs and then blasting them out of their shoes! How is the man doing that bloodthirsty?

    Hollywood will do that to people. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty were considered attractive. Attractiveness equals good. Their real lives were hard and were average looking. Also movies like to sell romance. They were different because they were a pair of the opposite sex. Although when Bonnie died had her wedding ring on from her estranged husband. I believed they deserved a trial and punishment. This was and is Texas so they have nothing to lose for execution.

      Most of what you wrote is nonsense. Not all historians believe that Bonnie or Clyde were innocent of the Grapevine murders of the two highway patrolmen. It is mainly liberal-leaning writers pushing that narrative, because they sympathize with criminals. And, yes, both Bonnie and Clyde had firearms within reach in the front seat. They were always ready to shoot... anyone in their way... to escape. Also, they each had a hand gun hidden on their person, which were later found by the coroner.

Give me a break!, Prison guards were cruel and some cops were real creeps, but not every cop, or innocent person they killed, in cold blood. Clyde broke the law, so he had to go to prison. They were dangerous criminals, that had to be stopped. That's why the law was after them. I'd believe Frank Hamer before I'd believe bleeding hearts for criminals.

Later, *Hamilton's* new girlfriend, *Mary O'Dare,* would briefly join them. With the exception of *Palmer,* who was 31, everyone else was in their early twenties. You know how college-aged guys are.
      Besides, *Clyde* was known as a ladies' man (part of the reason he turned to petty crime in his teens was to wine/dine/impress girls) and had had at least two serious relationships prior to meeting *Bonnie* at age 20 -- *Eleanor Bee Williams* and *Grace Donegan,* whose names he had tattooed on his body.

    The 1968 movie Bonnie and Clyde glorified the two and villianized Frank Hamer and portrayed him as a fool. Frank Hamer was far from a fool. It was Hollywood at its worst as far as artistic license, but very entertaining. Great actors, costumes, locations and great music. The reality was they killed 13 people including police officers. Some were killed for little or no money. No romantic heroes for sure.

    To be fair, Warren Beatty was very candid about the liberties taken to modify the film from the real story.
    He called it "fictional history" and also referred to it as "an art film loosely based on two outlaws ".
    The 68 film was never meant to be a documentary.

      *Percy Boyd,* the chief police who was kidnapped by *Bonnie,* *Clyde,* and *Henry Methvin* in April 1934 stated that *Bonnie* shot first when he and constable *Cal Campbell* went to investigate their car that was stuck in the mud. This resulted in the shootout in which *Campbell* was killed (by *Clyde* or *Methvin)* and *Boyd* was injured. Afterward, he said that *Clyde* reprimanded *Bonnie* for prematurely firing her weapon. Though they apologized for killing *Campbell,* they still made jokes about it.
      Nevertheless, the couple (especially *Bonnie)* took a great liking to *Boyd,* chatting him up, nursing his wounds, and giving him a new shirt and cash upon releasing him several hours later. Furthermore, *Boyd* won *Bonnie's* gratitude when he related her message to the press that she did NOT smoke cigars. She objected to her image as a cigar-smoker (she preferred cigarettes) but not as a gun moll... because it was true!
      The recent myth that *Bonnie Parker* never fired a gun is ridiculous and is perpetuated mostly by 'woke' liberals/feminists who tend to romanticize them and downplay their crimes, especially *Bonnie's.* To them, she was just a blameless victim in all of this, led astray to her doom by a man. True that *Bonnie* had no criminal record prior to meeting *Clyde,* but she willingly took up his ways. Her own mother said, "I began to see a strange and terrifying change take place in the mind of my child."
      The fact is, *Bonnie* and *Clyde* were resentful, disillusioned, nihilistic young people with big guns, who were determined to go down fighting and delay the inevitable by shooting ANYONE in their way. Their car, from which they were never far, was a rolling arsenal and both were equipped with a firearm in the front seat just in case. They were not *Romeo* and *Juliet* on a joy ride.
