no. because nothing IS the same. they'd simply cross a state line to avoid any kind of pursuit. today, despite Clyde's driving efforts to leave FAR behind anyone who did give chase, today the Law isn't usually far behind a gang like that.
Uh no. But I don’t think they responded like you think. We frown upon murderers now, and they did then. And shame on them, who thought/think that they were romantic. However, I don’t believe that back then they thought they were Romeo and Juliet. I’m pretty sure that is a modern idea about them, especially because of the movie. no matter what time you live in, nobody wants nut murderers running around. They killed plenty of innocent people, shopkeepers, etc.
When Bonnie & Clyde died. Most of the members of both Bonnie and Clyde family's was all sent to prison for hiding the famous outlaws including Bonnie's wheel chaired Grandmother.
Well I question weather today we would do that but back then things were black and white.... I think they should consider how easy it is to trick your gram... it was proven she wasn't even all there and had dementia, but back then they just sent half the mental ill to prison anyway...great depression and all.... she died in prison not even sure of what she did....or bonnie and Clyde, hardly seems just but very little was during the great depression
Not all, Clyde Barrow was my fourth cousin. My great grandfather (Clyde baker) was his 1st cousin and best friend growing up and hid them out at their house in nacogdoches, tx time to time. Our family still owns the land and zero legal troubles.
The best thing that came out of the movie 'Bonnie and Clyde' was: Gene Wilder, who realized during the shoot that comedy was HIS thing… I gotta give this movie credit for at least that.. (but nothing else, Sorry).
If you want the real story on Bonnie and Clyde, don't watch the 1967 Movie. Most of what you see in the Movie is false. Read the book, Go Down Together.
i would love to know the TRUE story of Bonnie & Clyde. There are so many stories, you don't really know which are true and which are not. It would be cool to time travel and see for yourself what they REALLY did. All we have is OTHER people's story of how they lived and how they were as people.
My great great grandparents took them in right before the Stringtown Oklahoma shoot out. My grandma said they were the nicest people that had ever came and stayed with them.
More like $1,500 to 28,000, but even that does not tell the full story because not only was the cost of living lower, but there were expenses we have today that did not exists or were not required by law back then such as social security tax which began in 1937, required auto insurance for all drivers, many household did not have a telephone, air conditioner, or even have gas appliances or running water and electrical connections. Most people did not own cars and traveled by foot, bus or train service. Sales tax rates were 2% or less, but many states did not applied sales tax to service and only to sales of goods.
@@wincentivan2684 banks only have as much money as they need to operate, they wouldn't keep an unnecessarily large amount of money like that to be robbed
My Grandpa took my dad and his older brother down to the two funeral homes to see Bonnie & Clyde in Dallas. My Grandpa was one of the lucky men who worked as a railroad detective in the Great Depression. He never lost his job like so many did. My dad wound up a city police officer & I a deputy sheriff. In the early 2000's I had supper with Clyde Barrow's nephew. Funny how things come full circle.
There was no mass media or television at that time, musicians could make a good living selling just a few thousand vinyl records and appearances on local radio stations and dance halls.
Lee Wardle To be fair, I'm just a sad frustrated modern day musician who's basically getting around the age when I'll have to choose between making music and having a family :S I'm absolutely not objective ;).
@@Lanwarder It is a glass half empty /half full thing. You will always be able to make music for the rest of your life but then you got kids to pass those skills on to if they are receptive. It is great to see kids faces when they master the first few notes on an instrument. =)
The interesting thing is it looks like the relatives of Bonnie and Clyde are going to make the move happen and Bonnie will be next to Clyde. That will be the third cemetery she has been in. She's already been in two. And so have some babies that are at her feet. Those babies are her sisters.
@@ghostcityshelton9378 it's difficult to say what she wanted. She was still married to her husband. Still wore his wedding ring. Had a tattoo of his name.
RhettyforFun Bonnie probably wore that ring because she and Clyde would pretend to be married. I think it's very unlikely she was still pining after Roy if that's what you're suggesting... ill advised tattoos of their exes were yet another thing B&C had in common, that's the thing with tattoos, they're permanent. 😂 I know so much more obscure facts about B&C than this video. 😐
Maybe they had a bad hand dealt to them but, they killed people! Bonnie said to Clyde after one murder “Clyde his head bounce just like a rubber ball!” After they shot a state trooper. She killed someone in their yard on Christmas Eve. You can make good choices or bad. Their choices were bad.
If you can find a copy of a 1968 documentary called, "The Other Side of Bonnie and Clyde" that will tell you the REAL story pf Bonnie and Clyde and just what kind of killers they REALLY were. It was filmed basically to offset The Hollywood movie which it points out, glamorized and made heros out of two people who were in real life, cold blooded killers. I watched it back in the late 80s on a VHS tape I was able to rent a copy at a Blockbusters. I sat and watched it with my dad who actually grew up just miles from where they were killed in Gibsland, Louisiana. My grandfather who worked for a Ford dealership in Shreveport saw the car when law enforcement brought it into the shop for temporary storage downtown until they decided where to take it.). This film, which starts out with an introduction narrated by the late Burl Ives, mulls no punches, It doesn't glamorize them at all. It shows filmed interviews with some of the members of their gang as well as a law enforcement officer brings out all their guns that were confiscated and explains in detail about each one. And yes it. is true that prison changed Clyde. And there is an account of Clyde's experience in prison contrary to what this lame video states. When Clyde went to prison, he was sodomized repeatedly by a man named Big Ed Crowder. Finally, Clyde got him alone in a bathroom one night and bashed in his head and beat him to death with a metal pipe. Another man who was already in for life took the rap and Clyde was later paroled. He came out of that experience an angry, cold blooded killer.
@@musicaltheatergeek79 lol, I'm not blaming them for being diminutive, I was just surprised. Warren Beatty, who played Clyde, was 6'4" and Faye Dunaway was 5'7" and that movie was made only 33 years after they were killed, so I always considered them to be tall.
@@Knapweed I didn't think you were blaming them. I was merely pointing out that people who come from impoverished backgrounds/countries are generally short(er) due to malnutrition.
Yeap back then the childs work from 12 n work reduce the height from children...what the today kids like Greta ve it for sure back then was an utopia...like countries of west Asia Vietnam,Laos etc kids are working from 9...that was happening in 1920 in Europe n USA
This conversation is Ridiculous. You could never buy a submachine gun in a hardware store unless it was a black market sale, but I think he knew that. I'd like to see how many people can remotely accurately pump out 30 rounds in 6 seconds. You don't need a background check if you buy from a private seller. And a bar has more stopping power but is worse in almost every other way, especially when you Saw the barrel off, which Clyde did.
@@ninjabiatch101 Yes you could buy a Thompson in a hardware store, before the 1934 National Firearms Act, know as the NFA, broke firearms down into 3 classes, Class 1; long arms (rifles and shotguns) Class 2; handguns, Class 3; destructive weapons (machine guns, grenade launchers etc etc) which require a $200 tax stamp and a mountain of paperwork but can still be purchased legally even today. Learn what you're talking about before you start popping off and saying conversations are ridiculous, just look at an old Sears and Roebuck catalog from the 20's and you'll see you could order a Thompson directly through the mail.
@sum body Yea, you could buy them at the store but you couldn't order one directly from the catalog and have it delivered straight to your house, you could do that until the 1968 Gun Control Act was passed, but after that mail order gun sales (unless in your home state) were banned and anything ordered has to go through someone in your home state with an FFL (Federal Firearms License), in other words if you order a firearm from someone outside of your state it has to be routed through a local gun shop or dealer, all guns manufactured before 1898 are considered Curio&Relic however and are exempt from that law and can be mail ordered directly.
@@100SubsNoVideos69 No one said you did, but you can't order one from Walmarts website and have it delivered to your house. Try paying attention if you're going to comment.
Not saying any names but a person in my family hid them out. Bonnie and Clyde gave her money, and she buryed it. It still has not been found. LOCATION: Louisiana
" Sources who worked on two separate Bonnie and Clyde movies claim " Now there is a viable source for historical information !!! Like listening to tweets .
I went to the ambush site about two weeks ago. They have a couple of museums a couple of miles away in Gibsland Louisiana. It was a good daytrip and the museums are very interesting.
I see you were once again cherry-picking your facts. There were MANY witnesses that placed Bonnie as very violent and that SHE was the gang member that shot those two police officers on that lonely road.
No, two witnesses to that murder said it was the two men. One other witness claimed it was Bonnie, but then when he tried to identify her he identified her sister instead. Plus, Bonnie was crippled by that time and unable to walk without help. So what he described was impossible. People, including police, who've reviewed it have dismissed his 'eyewitness' testimony (turns out, by his own account, that he was far away from the scene) as being made up.
Cocokai well she certainly shot at officers in Joplin, MO. LEOs saw a female shooting from the 2nd story...Blanche had already left, running towards Main St with her dog.
@@garysams8615 Sure...they were able to tell the gender of the person shooting at them from the second floor of a house that had it's windows covered with news paper...and I may be mistaken, but I believe the shoot-out took place at night. Again I may be wrong about it having been at night, but if it was there's no way they can be sure who was shooting, especially from the second floor. People who rode with them said Bonnie didn't handle the guns, except for the cutesy photos they did. Bonnie was 4ft.11 and well under 100 pounds. There's no way she was firing a BAR or Thompson machine gun.
I read about this. It was also said that Bonnie and Clyde lost their popularity with the public when they killed the law enforcement officers. Bonnie actually killed one of the officers while he was laying on the road already wounded.
"Bonnie and Clyde are up there with Romeo and Juliet when it comes to famous romantic relationships" this comparison makes me think of a certain rap battle
I've always shaken my head over the fact that Hollywood seems to care nothing for physical facts when it comes to choosing actors to play real people. Bonnie and Clyde are a good example: she was 4'11” and and he was 5'4″. Apparently, there aren't many female actors her size, but I suspect even if there were, they'd still pick some 6-footer to play Clyde. (Another one that almost makes you laugh: T. E. Lawrence ("of Arabia" fame) was 5 foot 5, while Peter O'Toole was 6 foot 2 at the time he portrayed him---a slight difference.) It's nice to know the facts after all the fiction.
I think because in reality B&C looked like kids. They both had baby faces with dimpled cheeks and wide eyes and were often mistaken for high schoolers while on the run. The movies probably want to make them seem/look more mature.
@@musicaltheatergeek79 Yes, that's often been a Hollywood failing, like Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer playing an 18-year-old Romeo and 14-year-old Juliette. (Of course, in that particular case, it's usually been done that way---and we won't even mention the old Globe Theater days, when both parts were played by _men.)_
From a historical perspective you wanna see the minimum semblance of the actual B & C. They were tiny little Hobbits that ransacked towns all across our Midwestern states. The movie puts above average height woopsy-doopsy actors in their place. It loses credibility. I'm not buying it.
I think their relationship was sweet even if they were killers it's nice to see true love at least (I'm not saying I support murderers, just its nice to see a nice couple like that)
At the end of the day, they were human too. Evil is very real but anyone is capable of being redeemed in my eyes. Besides, you can't defeat evil with evil. Love isn't a supreme ethic for nothing you know. So I don't think anything's wrong with what you saw in their relationship.
@@gladeateor1950 Of all time, not just the last century. Though admittedly while no one is beyond redemption, some do become too far gone to be helped. But people like Son of Sam and some others I don't have at the top of my head atm come to mind of Serial Killers who did take a 180 for the better.
i know this is late but bonny was a cutie from hell ...lol she set of fires and she smashes two girls face into the gravel because they stole two of her pencils. she came to school with black face paint on and a boy laughed at her so she beat them up, she had also stole all her dads liquor and drank until she blacked out there is so much but this is when he was around 15 as a adult in the barrow gang she wasn't all evil
Pretty accurate for the most part. I don t agree with how Clyde s mother is described or Bonnie s psyche analysis, but all in all very accurate. I m impressed. Thanks for posting this.
Bonnie played piano according to her sister Billie Jeane, so Clyde wasn't the only one with musical talent. Imagine them in a band together. Bonnie did become famous.
1:52 The geared 5th-string peg on the Banjo wasn't around back then. It exploded onto the scene during the 60's (best guess) and was a major innovation. Those friction-style pegs, which the geared pegs improved on immensely, are still around, and take an eternity to zero in on the right tunings.
As someone who has studied the pair for over 25 years, *it is a recent myth that Bonnie never wielded weapons,* mainly perpetrated by her living relatives who are trying to rehabilitate her image. In fact, several eyewitnesses (including gang member Blanche Barrow per her statement) saw her take part in several scrimmages, including the famous Joplin raid. The latest book BONNIE & CLYDE: THE MAKING OF A LEGEND by Dallas historian Karen Blumenthal confirms that she was a good shot. Bonnie was proud of her gun moll image (save the cigar). Furthermore, she wasn't as kindhearted as you're portraying her. Yes, she was popular in school and acted in the plays and was a spelling bee champ, BUT she was also a bit of a bully. She was known to pick fights with both girls AND boys! She continued to be a scrapper to her dying day. In short, she was generous with family and close friends, but she could be the nastiest person to everyone else. Bonnie came to share Clyde's nihilistic views and hatred for "the laws." He was also devoted to his family, especially his mother, his #1 enabler, but he could be quite cruel with strangers. By the end, they were armed to the teeth, including concealing handguns on their person; their car was an arsenal on wheels. Their main concern was to stay alive for as long as possible, even if it meant gunning down anyone in their way. They made it publicly known that they wouldn't go down without a fight.
Yeah musical, agree. Sometimes, she could be nice. What the hell is hyperwhater they are talking about. But I’ve read a lot about the two also, and you’re correct.

My great grandma would tell me how nice the couple really was, man do I miss her.
@@Josephiscool115 chill, dago. we all know she's full of shit. as are 99.9% of the people here claiming that their relatives knew or met bonnie and clyde. but you still have to respect their imagination.
Funny that the edit in here where they described Bonnie having had battery acid on her leg - the lawman is saying while looking at the ground that she is dragging her right leg, then the cut shows her dragging her left leg. I wonder if that is the same movie? Is so, they have a small continuity problem
just because someone is related to people from the past doesn't make them bad people. If you never been hungry and was told your whole life you were not good enough then you start to believe what they say about you and start not to care what people think about you. And keep in mind they lived during the great depression where food and money were hard to come by. If you know your history you would not make jokes because you are clueless to the truth thank you and GOD BLESS YOU
Naw! It's peddling cops as always right...right or wrong. It sends the wrong message. "I got a a badge, I got a gun, I am become God." It's bullshit!!!
They really weren't that bad of people. I've done a lot of reading and I talked with some people who knew them or had family members who knew them. I found out that almost every single person who met them liked them or felt bad for them. Clyde just made a few bad decisions and ended up on the wrong path. His brother also got in trouble all the time and the cops always pinned it on Clyde too, even if he wasn't involved. That got his name out there and made the police be constantly at his back. Also the early crimes he did wouldnt even be that bad if he would have talked to the cops instead of running away, but he was scared of arguements and thought running would be easier, which made it so much worse. When he did get put in prison, he was beaten and raped by a fellow inmate Ed Crowder almost nightly, which explains why after he got out of prison he would rather die than go back, and he made that clear. Eventually it just became where he constantly had to be on the run, and he didn't have any money so the only way he could get around quickly was to steal cars and the only way he could eat was to steal money. After a while of living like that, more police were after him, so he got firepower to protect himself, and ended up killing several cops and a few people who tried to get him. Bonnie got wrapped up in it when she fell in love with Clyde. She tried to change him but he was too far gone. She loved him so much that she followed him down his dark path. Just two people who were in so deep that it felt easier to just dig deeper.
My grandmother on my dad's side of the family let Bonnie and Clyde stay in one of her unplanted fields the night before they were killed and she said that they were nice folks and offered to pay for the stay but my grandma said no that it would be free for them. Grandma lived a ways outta Simsboro La and when I was a kid my family would travel to Simsboro to view the car that Bonnie/Clyde were killed in. It was kept in a gas station in the town of Simsboro and then I didn't realize the significance of the event,and believe you me that car was full of big holes from the attack. She also said she suspected who they were but wasn't sure and that Bonnie/Clyde were not the most pleasant appearing people but the were quiet and respectful,but then my grandma always carried a pistol and shotgun with her all the time. She said it made mean people respect women that lived by themselves out in the country.
You have to remember this was the Great Depression, they were from the Joplin -Carthage Missouri area. Rural Americans were hit extremely hard. 10 years or so before Prohibition had made liquor sale and manufacturing illegal (a common cash crop in rural America for generations), yet moonshining was still commonly practiced out of necessity ($$$ because of no jobs). That made a large part of the population on the "wrong side of the law" anyway. Helping Bonnie and Clyde hide wasn't much of a leap. About 40 years before them, Frank James actually sold shoes in Nevada Missouri (40 miles north) and had a house bought for him to help in his move to the town. People drove from all over the U.S. to meet him there and buy shoes from him. (Later he worked at a theater in st Louis for the same publicity reason). Bonnie and Clyde were smart enough to use the James's system of giving away some of their ill gotten gains to gain local support, and in turn people who were willing to hide them and assist their escapes from the law. Without that support neither them or the James gang would have been as successful at avoiding the law for so long.
@ 8:53 - Almost certainly not a true or factual statement. A witness to the Grapevine (TX) police officers shooting testified to seeing Bonnie Parker shoot one of the officers and laughed at “how his head bounced on the pavement like a rubber ball” when she shot him.
The one weapon they never used was the Tommy gun. It is a good looking gun and was in the 1960s movie about Bonnie and Clyde, but when they were killed the submachine gun was not found among them. Apparently they preferred the Browning Automatic Rifle or BAR due to it's powerful round.
BAR gun was also used in WW2 and Korean War, Most I've spoke too said it was one of the best weapons you could have in the military back then as that thing was meant for World War 1 trench warfare but heavy and cumbersome to carry.
@@nadjamarie506 The story has always shown Robin Hood as a hero! Robbing from the rich and crockered - (not killing the innocent either!) to give to the poor. The story has never said otherwise. 😁
Ryan Coulson That's nice that you think police, especially in the 1930s, weren't crooked. The early ballads of Robin Hood portray Robin Hood rather different, the fact remains he'd be called a terrorist today.
@@nadjamarie506 I never said the police weren't crookered in the 30s! 🤔 I said the story of Robin Hood, robbed from the rich and the crookered!

If he existed today? 😂 There's absolutely no comparison or similarities between Robin Hood or Bonnie and Clyde!
Ryan Coulson You're too dumb to get my point. Reality is more complicated than fiction. Bonnie and Clyde were generous with their money... you can't see where the comparisons might come from? But for what it's worth I agree they were no Robin Hoods, I don't think such a hero could exist in real life. 😁
Missouri Highway Patrolman at the Joplin, MO shootout stated Bonnie came out of the apartment door shooting a Browning BAR throwing splinters from the tree he was hiding behind. So much for her never shooting at people.
You are forgetting one very important fact. The ambush that ended the careers of Bonnie and Clyde was totally illegal. Hamer and his gang made no attempt to allow them to surrender. They just opened fire with automatic weapons thus depriving Bonnie and Clyde of their Constitutional rights to a fair trial. Hamer decided to be judge, jury, and executioner because they had embarrassed him in an earlier encounter. Hamer should have been removed from the case. Maybe Bonnie and Clyde would have surrendered or maybe they would have chosen to fight, but we will never know. And someone should take down that memorial to Hamer and his crew at the site of the ambush because they are no heroes. They were cowards. Cold-blooded cowards.
Bonnie and Clyde had stated many times that they would NOT surrender and would go down fighting. They demonstrated this several times in the several shootouts that occurred They even had a suicidal pact (i.e., Clyde would shoot Bonnie, then he would shoot himself) if they felt that they could not shoot their way out. Clyde was adamant about NOT going back to prison.
Nevertheless, that does not change the law. Hamer had a responsibility to at least shout out a warning and see if they really would choose to fight it out. Hamer had all the firepower. One could say way over the top. But, like it or not their rights guaranteed by the Constitution were violated.
The ambush was conducted under the authority of the Sheriff of the Louisiana parish where it took place. The Sheriff nd his Deputy were present. The Deputy fired the first shot, which killed Barrow. If there was any legal objecton raised at the time about how the arrest was carried out, I haven’t read about it.
If u look into it, Clyde got a raw deal.He tried to go straight.Nobody gave him a chance.Clyde did what he hadda do. They were on him & it was either him or them.I really don't think he liked killing anyone

When l was an early teen l told my mom how lame l thought all my friends' and sisters' romances were. "What do you want your relationship to be like; Bonnie and Clyde?" She asked I'm exasperation. "Who the heck is Bonnie and Clyde?" I asked. I looked them up on the internet and read a witness's quote that they were more like best friends than lovers. I was so pleased by the description of their relationship that I printed their picture and kept it in my school desk. It still hasn't happened though.
When I was young, the old people claimed that another reason they were popular was that during the great depression, most people were constantly close to losing what little they had. The first thing Clyde would do in a bank robbery was to demand the mortgages the bank held, then burn them. Most people would pay back the money when they could. While severely hurting banks, they saved people's homes, farms, businesses and communities.
He did play the sax....there was a sax found in their “ death” car according to Wikipedia which I know is not always correct, but just sayin. Was he any good 🤷🏻♀️.
It is these kind of morbid curios videos that gives the impression they were OK at heart when in fact they were killers of the worst kind. Why not tell the untold stories of the two motor cycle policemen they executed in cold blood or any of the other murdered victims?
Because you wouldn't watch it would you? 😂 Bonnie Parker probably didn't directly kill anyone, Bonnie and Clyde are two different people you know. The police probably (hard to get solid facts in this case...) pardoned the guy who was most responsible for those officiers death, do you care about that? Nope. (Damn this comment section really making me go to the mat for a pair of criminals)
Imagine getting robbed by the duo and they take you hostage and ask you to take photos of them. Times have changed, these days people don’t want you to know anything about them
Their “glamorous life” involved Clyde literally having to carry her around while she suffered. And starved. And froze. Their story is way way too romanticized. That picture where Clyde holding her up is because she couldn’t stand up, not because he was “holding” her all romantic like.
Open-minded Skeptic Yeah, if you don’t mind having your body riddled with dozens of bullet holes and put on public display and Bonnie wasn’t wearing underpants! Better to leave an intact body!
Do you think people would react to Bonnie and Clyde today the same way they did in the 30's?
Today nobody would notice
This sound like a comparison of the Joker and Harley Quinn DC comics book story!
No
no. because nothing IS the same. they'd simply cross a state line to avoid any kind of pursuit. today, despite Clyde's driving efforts to leave FAR behind anyone who did give chase, today the Law isn't usually far behind a gang like that.
Uh no. But I don’t think they responded like you think. We frown upon murderers now, and they did then. And shame on them, who thought/think that they were romantic. However, I don’t believe that back then they thought they were Romeo and Juliet. I’m pretty sure that is a modern idea about them, especially because of the movie. no matter what time you live in, nobody wants nut murderers running around.

More like $1,500 to 28,000, but even that does not tell the full story because not only was the cost of living lower, but there were expenses we have today that did not exists or were not required by law back then such as social security tax which began in 1937, required auto insurance for all drivers, many household did not have a telephone, air conditioner, or even have gas appliances or running water and electrical connections. Most people did not own cars and traveled by foot, bus or train service. Sales tax rates were 2% or less, but many states did not applied sales tax to service and only to sales of goods.
J S also don’t forget lower income taxes and nonexistent property tax.

My Grandpa took my dad and his older brother down to the two funeral homes to see Bonnie & Clyde in Dallas. My Grandpa was one of the lucky men who worked as a railroad detective in the Great Depression. He never lost his job like so many did. My dad wound up a city police officer & I a deputy sheriff. In the early 2000's I had supper with Clyde Barrow's nephew. Funny how things come full circle.
She was talented, she starred in school plays, quite the talent...
I have seen better acting in some school productions than in Hollywood especially modern Hollywood.
Her poetry was good though
😂😂
I was so hoping for more pictures of the real Bonnie and Clyde and not outtakes from movies.
Check out Serving up the Classic's channel...posted a good vid real pics of Bonnie & Clyde 👍
Yeah cause everyone knows how easy it is to make a living by playing music in today's world.....now imagine during the Great Depression...
Yeah especially while you are trying to rob people while you're doing it, you dumb ass
There was no mass media or television at that time, musicians could make a good living selling just a few thousand vinyl records and appearances on local radio stations and dance halls.
John Hembree Why call me a dumbass? What is wrong man? Why are you so aggressive?
Lee Wardle To be fair, I'm just a sad frustrated modern day musician who's basically getting around the age when I'll have to choose between making music and having a family :S I'm absolutely not objective ;).
@@Lanwarder It is a glass half empty /half full thing. You will always be able to make music for the rest of your life but then you got kids to pass those skills on to if they are receptive.
It is great to see kids faces when they master the first few notes on an instrument. =)
There was also the small issue that Clyde Barrow was raped in prison, even killed the man that did it.
And another prisoner, a lifer took the rap for that.
Must have liked it. One of is gang had to be tied up on a night to stop him running away from Clyde.

"What the world never knew about bonnie n clyde" ...but some dude on UA-cam knew it all
Everything he said has been common knowledge for a long time now. Mistitled video.
Roy wasn't good looking, and B & C weren't much prettier 😒
Blanch was great looking
Bonnie was not only riddled with bullets but also with STDs’
Bonnie was a giant queen ant with tentacles coming out her head 🐜🐜👑👸🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜💀💀🏃🏃🏃🏃
I can't watch these videos anymore. They all the same music throughout and it's pretty annoying.
The interesting thing is it looks like the relatives of Bonnie and Clyde are going to make the move happen and Bonnie will be next to Clyde. That will be the third cemetery she has been in. She's already been in two. And so have some babies that are at her feet. Those babies are her sisters.
That is sad. I think they should have been burried side by side to begin with.
@@ghostcityshelton9378 it's difficult to say what she wanted. She was still married to her husband. Still wore his wedding ring. Had a tattoo of his name.
RhettyforFun Bonnie probably wore that ring because she and Clyde would pretend to be married. I think it's very unlikely she was still pining after Roy if that's what you're suggesting... ill advised tattoos of their exes were yet another thing B&C had in common, that's the thing with tattoos, they're permanent. 😂
I know so much more obscure facts about B&C than this video. 😐
@@nadjamarie506 So do I. I think she had poor taste in men. And I think she wanted out of where she was. That was her opportunity.
Maybe they had a bad hand dealt to them but, they killed people! Bonnie said to Clyde after one murder “Clyde his head bounce just like a rubber ball!” After they shot a state trooper. She killed someone in their yard on Christmas Eve. You can make good choices or bad. Their choices were bad.
If you can find a copy of a 1968 documentary called, "The Other Side of Bonnie and Clyde" that will tell you the REAL story pf Bonnie and Clyde and just what kind of killers they REALLY were. It was filmed basically to offset The Hollywood movie which it points out, glamorized and made heros out of two people who were in real life, cold blooded killers. I watched it back in the late 80s on a VHS tape I was able to rent a copy at a Blockbusters. I sat and watched it with my dad who actually grew up just miles from where they were killed in Gibsland, Louisiana. My grandfather who worked for a Ford dealership in Shreveport saw the car when law enforcement brought it into the shop for temporary storage downtown until they decided where to take it.). This film, which starts out with an introduction narrated by the late Burl Ives, mulls no punches, It doesn't glamorize them at all. It shows filmed interviews with some of the members of their gang as well as a law enforcement officer brings out all their guns that were confiscated and explains in detail about each one. And yes it. is true that prison changed Clyde. And there is an account of Clyde's experience in prison contrary to what this lame video states. When Clyde went to prison, he was sodomized repeatedly by a man named Big Ed Crowder. Finally, Clyde got him alone in a bathroom one night and bashed in his head and beat him to death with a metal pipe. Another man who was already in for life took the rap and Clyde was later paroled. He came out of that experience an angry, cold blooded killer.
I was surprised to find out how tiny they were. Bonnie was under five foot and Clyde stood at five-feet seven.
Back than that wasn't short
Also, you have to consider malnutrition. They grew up dirt-poor.
@@musicaltheatergeek79 lol, I'm not blaming them for being diminutive, I was just surprised. Warren Beatty, who played Clyde, was 6'4" and Faye Dunaway was 5'7" and that movie was made only 33 years after they were killed, so I always considered them to be tall.
@@Knapweed I didn't think you were blaming them. I was merely pointing out that people who come from impoverished backgrounds/countries are generally short(er) due to malnutrition.
Yeap back then the childs work from 12 n work reduce the height from children...what the today kids like Greta ve it for sure back then was an utopia...like countries of west Asia Vietnam,Laos etc kids are working from 9...that was happening in 1920 in Europe n USA
Back when you could buy a 1921 Thompson in a hardware store.
This conversation is Ridiculous.
You could never buy a submachine gun in a hardware store unless it was a black market sale, but I think he knew that.
I'd like to see how many people can remotely accurately pump out 30 rounds in 6 seconds.
You don't need a background check if you buy from a private seller.
And a bar has more stopping power but is worse in almost every other way, especially when you Saw the barrel off, which Clyde did.
@@ninjabiatch101
Yes you could buy a Thompson in a hardware store, before the 1934 National Firearms Act, know as the NFA, broke firearms down into 3 classes,
Class 1; long arms (rifles and shotguns)
Class 2; handguns,
Class 3; destructive weapons (machine guns, grenade launchers etc etc) which require a $200 tax stamp and a mountain of paperwork but can still be purchased legally even today.
Learn what you're talking about before you start popping off and saying conversations are ridiculous, just look at an old Sears and Roebuck catalog from the 20's and you'll see you could order a Thompson directly through the mail.
@sum body
Yea, you could buy them at the store but you couldn't order one directly from the catalog and have it delivered straight to your house, you could do that until the 1968 Gun Control Act was passed, but after that mail order gun sales (unless in your home state) were banned and anything ordered has to go through someone in your home state with an FFL (Federal Firearms License), in other words if you order a firearm from someone outside of your state it has to be routed through a local gun shop or dealer, all guns manufactured before 1898 are considered Curio&Relic however and are exempt from that law and can be mail ordered directly.

" Sources who worked on two separate Bonnie and Clyde movies claim "
Now there is a viable source for historical information !!! Like listening to tweets .
Those 'sources' were B&C historians (I followed the makings of those movies), but it does sound funny the way they worded it. XD
Did you know Twitter and the Internet are both just as reliable as the CB radio was ???
I went to the ambush site about two weeks ago. They have a couple of museums a couple of miles away in Gibsland Louisiana. It was a good daytrip and the museums are very interesting.
I see you were once again cherry-picking your facts. There were MANY witnesses that placed Bonnie as very violent and that SHE was the gang member that shot those two police officers on that lonely road.
No, two witnesses to that murder said it was the two men. One other witness claimed it was Bonnie, but then when he tried to identify her he identified her sister instead. Plus, Bonnie was crippled by that time and unable to walk without help. So what he described was impossible. People, including police, who've reviewed it have dismissed his 'eyewitness' testimony (turns out, by his own account, that he was far away from the scene) as being made up.
Cocokai well she certainly shot at officers in Joplin, MO. LEOs saw a female shooting from the 2nd story...Blanche had already left, running towards Main St with her dog.
@@garysams8615 Sure...they were able to tell the gender of the person shooting at them from the second floor of a house that had it's windows covered with news paper...and I may be mistaken, but I believe the shoot-out took place at night. Again I may be wrong about it having been at night, but if it was there's no way they can be sure who was shooting, especially from the second floor. People who rode with them said Bonnie didn't handle the guns, except for the cutesy photos they did. Bonnie was 4ft.11 and well under 100 pounds. There's no way she was firing a BAR or Thompson machine gun.
I read about this. It was also said that Bonnie and Clyde lost their popularity with the public when they killed the law enforcement officers. Bonnie actually killed one of the officers while he was laying on the road already wounded.
@Up Your's so that justifies their wrong doing???

imagine being bonnie and your dying wish is to be buried next to clyde but you cant cause your mom is selfish lmao
After she’s dead, she wouldn’t have cared. It is normal that a mother would want a child who preceded her in death to be buried next to her.
The mother didn't want them buried together because Clyde was the worst thing that happened to Bonnie. The mother was not wrong.
Clyde was a murderous robber who took Bonnie down the same path. The mother was completely right for not wanting her buried next to a man like that
He was every mothers worst nightmare.. Any parent would of had him murdered
before letting their daughter being under his control!
I've always shaken my head over the fact that Hollywood seems to care nothing for physical facts when it comes to choosing actors to play real people. Bonnie and Clyde are a good example: she was 4'11” and and he was 5'4″. Apparently, there aren't many female actors her size, but I suspect even if there were, they'd still pick some 6-footer to play Clyde. (Another one that almost makes you laugh: T. E. Lawrence ("of Arabia" fame) was 5 foot 5, while Peter O'Toole was 6 foot 2 at the time he portrayed him---a slight difference.) It's nice to know the facts after all the fiction.
I think because in reality B&C looked like kids. They both had baby faces with dimpled cheeks and wide eyes and were often mistaken for high schoolers while on the run. The movies probably want to make them seem/look more mature.
@@musicaltheatergeek79 Yes, that's often been a Hollywood failing, like Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer playing an 18-year-old Romeo and 14-year-old Juliette. (Of course, in that particular case, it's usually been done that way---and we won't even mention the old Globe Theater days, when both parts were played by _men.)_
Does that really matter?🙄🤷♀️. It’s a movie. I watched both those movies and wasn’t sitting there going oh Lawrence is too tall!
From a historical perspective you wanna see the minimum semblance of the actual B & C. They were tiny little Hobbits that ransacked towns all across our Midwestern states. The movie puts above average height woopsy-doopsy actors in their place. It loses credibility. I'm not buying it.
I think their relationship was sweet even if they were killers it's nice to see true love at least (I'm not saying I support murderers, just its nice to see a nice couple like that)
At the end of the day, they were human too. Evil is very real but anyone is capable of being redeemed in my eyes. Besides, you can't defeat evil with evil. Love isn't a supreme ethic for nothing you know. So I don't think anything's wrong with what you saw in their relationship.
@@TheGravityShifteryou can say that to Ted bundy and Jeffery Dahar and ever serial killers In then 20 ceneuty

I can't figure out why petty thieves and murderers have always had people who think they are wonderful,
You should do a video on Leopold and Loeb
As someone who has studied the pair for over 25 years, *it is a recent myth that Bonnie never wielded weapons,* mainly perpetrated by her living relatives who are trying to rehabilitate her image. In fact, several eyewitnesses (including gang member Blanche Barrow per her statement) saw her take part in several scrimmages, including the famous Joplin raid. The latest book BONNIE & CLYDE: THE MAKING OF A LEGEND by Dallas historian Karen Blumenthal confirms that she was a good shot. Bonnie was proud of her gun moll image (save the cigar).
Furthermore, she wasn't as kindhearted as you're portraying her. Yes, she was popular in school and acted in the plays and was a spelling bee champ, BUT she was also a bit of a bully. She was known to pick fights with both girls AND boys! She continued to be a scrapper to her dying day. In short, she was generous with family and close friends, but she could be the nastiest person to everyone else. Bonnie came to share Clyde's nihilistic views and hatred for "the laws." He was also devoted to his family, especially his mother, his #1 enabler, but he could be quite cruel with strangers. By the end, they were armed to the teeth, including concealing handguns on their person; their car was an arsenal on wheels. Their main concern was to stay alive for as long as possible, even if it meant gunning down anyone in their way. They made it publicly known that they wouldn't go down without a fight.
in other words, they were cool as shit!
Yeah musical, agree. Sometimes, she could be nice. What the hell is hyperwhater they are talking about. But I’ve read a lot about the two also, and you’re correct.

You never mentioned Buck Barrow, Clyde's brother.
just because someone is related to people from the past doesn't make them bad people. If you never been hungry and was told your whole life you were not good enough then you start to believe what they say about you and start not to care what people think about you.

My cats are named Bonnie and Clyde. They're very relaxed and they rarely shoot captives. lol
They really weren't that bad of people. I've done a lot of reading and I talked with some people who knew them or had family members who knew them. I found out that almost every single person who met them liked them or felt bad for them. Clyde just made a few bad decisions and ended up on the wrong path. His brother also got in trouble all the time and the cops always pinned it on Clyde too, even if he wasn't involved. That got his name out there and made the police be constantly at his back. Also the early crimes he did wouldnt even be that bad if he would have talked to the cops instead of running away, but he was scared of arguements and thought running would be easier, which made it so much worse. When he did get put in prison, he was beaten and raped by a fellow inmate Ed Crowder almost nightly, which explains why after he got out of prison he would rather die than go back, and he made that clear. Eventually it just became where he constantly had to be on the run, and he didn't have any money so the only way he could get around quickly was to steal cars and the only way he could eat was to steal money. After a while of living like that, more police were after him, so he got firepower to protect himself, and ended up killing several cops and a few people who tried to get him. Bonnie got wrapped up in it when she fell in love with Clyde. She tried to change him but he was too far gone. She loved him so much that she followed him down his dark path. Just two people who were in so deep that it felt easier to just dig deeper.
Exactly well put together
My elderly mother used to say Bonnie never mistreated her pet rabbit!
All I know is they ended up with more holes in them than a honey comb 🤷🏻♀️
At least they died together and like heroes!
That is some peppy guitar music. On and on it goes.
My grandmother on my dad's side of the family let Bonnie and Clyde stay in one of her unplanted fields the night before they were killed and she said that they were nice folks and offered to pay for the stay but my grandma said no that it would be free for them. Grandma lived a ways outta Simsboro La and when I was a kid my family would travel to Simsboro to view the car that Bonnie/Clyde were killed in. It was kept in a gas station in the town of Simsboro and then I didn't realize the significance of the event,and believe you me that car was full of big holes from the attack. She also said she suspected who they were but wasn't sure and that Bonnie/Clyde were not the most pleasant appearing people but the were quiet and respectful,but then my grandma always carried a pistol and shotgun with her all the time. She said it made mean people respect women that lived by themselves out in the country.

Not gonna lie, I kinda love that I knew all of these.
It is really gross that they displayed their dead bodies to the public
You have to remember this was the Great Depression, they were from the Joplin -Carthage Missouri area. Rural Americans were hit extremely hard.
10 years or so before Prohibition had made liquor sale and manufacturing illegal (a common cash crop in rural America for generations), yet moonshining was still commonly practiced out of necessity ($$$ because of no jobs). That made a large part of the population on the "wrong side of the law" anyway. Helping Bonnie and Clyde hide wasn't much of a leap.
About 40 years before them, Frank James actually sold shoes in Nevada Missouri (40 miles north) and had a house bought for him to help in his move to the town. People drove from all over the U.S. to meet him there and buy shoes from him. (Later he worked at a theater in st Louis for the same publicity reason).
Bonnie and Clyde were smart enough to use the James's system of giving away some of their ill gotten gains to gain local support, and in turn people who were willing to hide them and assist their escapes from the law.
Without that support neither them or the James gang would have been as successful at avoiding the law for so long.
I'm lost of how they were able to continue on the run when it was reported Bonnie was shot in the stomach and Clyde in the cheek?
Good thing there was no Facebook back then , could you imagine how that would have exaggerated things?
You make a statement fb throws you in the can.In there now 30 days.
@ 8:53 - Almost certainly not a true or factual statement. A witness to the Grapevine (TX) police officers shooting testified to seeing Bonnie Parker shoot one of the officers and laughed at “how his head bounced on the pavement like a rubber ball” when she shot him.
The one weapon they never used was the Tommy gun. It is a good looking gun and was in the 1960s movie about Bonnie and Clyde, but when they were killed the submachine gun was not found among them. Apparently they preferred the Browning Automatic Rifle or BAR due to it's powerful round.
And the A5 model 11
BAR gun was also used in WW2 and Korean War, Most I've spoke too said it was one of the best weapons you could have in the military back then as that thing was meant for World War 1 trench warfare but heavy and cumbersome to carry.

You are forgetting one very important fact. The ambush that ended the careers of Bonnie and Clyde was totally illegal. Hamer and his gang made no attempt to allow them to surrender. They just opened fire with automatic weapons thus depriving Bonnie and Clyde of their Constitutional rights to a fair trial. Hamer decided to be judge, jury, and executioner because they had embarrassed him in an earlier encounter. Hamer should have been removed from the case. Maybe Bonnie and Clyde would have surrendered or maybe they would have chosen to fight, but we will never know. And someone should take down that memorial to Hamer and his crew at the site of the ambush because they are no heroes. They were cowards. Cold-blooded cowards.
Bonnie and Clyde had stated many times that they would NOT surrender and would go down fighting. They demonstrated this several times in the several shootouts that occurred They even had a suicidal pact (i.e., Clyde would shoot Bonnie, then he would shoot himself) if they felt that they could not shoot their way out. Clyde was adamant about NOT going back to prison.
Nevertheless, that does not change the law. Hamer had a responsibility to at least shout out a warning and see if they really would choose to fight it out. Hamer had all the firepower. One could say way over the top. But, like it or not their rights guaranteed by the Constitution were violated.
The ambush was conducted under the authority of the Sheriff of the Louisiana parish where it took place. The Sheriff nd his Deputy were present. The Deputy fired the first shot, which killed Barrow. If there was any legal objecton raised at the time about how the arrest was carried out, I haven’t read about it.
If u look into it, Clyde got a raw deal.He tried to go straight.Nobody gave him a chance.Clyde did what he hadda do. They were on him & it was either him or them.I really don't think he liked killing anyone

Very interesting and informative
When l was an early teen l told my mom how lame l thought all my friends' and sisters' romances were. "What do you want your relationship to be like; Bonnie and Clyde?" She asked I'm exasperation. "Who the heck is Bonnie and Clyde?" I asked. I looked them up on the internet and read a witness's quote that they were more like best friends than lovers. I was so pleased by the description of their relationship that I printed their picture and kept it in my school desk. It still hasn't happened though.
When I was young, the old people claimed that another reason they were popular was that during the great depression, most people were constantly close to losing what little they had. The first thing Clyde would do in a bank robbery was to demand the mortgages the bank held, then burn them. Most people would pay back the money when they could. While severely hurting banks, they saved people's homes, farms, businesses and communities.
Bonnie and Clyde or Hillery and Bill
💀
Clonnie or Billery.
@@sweetnsourchick1761 lol
Bill and Hillary are bigger criminals.
She had talent, she would sing as she did laundry. And Clyde was in a band he blew into a empty whiskey jug. They could have gone far.
He did play the sax....there was a sax found in their “ death” car according to Wikipedia which I know is not always correct, but just sayin. Was he any good 🤷🏻♀️.
It is these kind of morbid curios videos that gives the impression they were OK at heart when in fact they were killers of the worst kind. Why not tell the untold stories of the two motor cycle policemen they executed in cold blood or any of the other murdered victims?
Because you wouldn't watch it would you? 😂 Bonnie Parker probably didn't directly kill anyone, Bonnie and Clyde are two different people you know. The police probably (hard to get solid facts in this case...) pardoned the guy who was most responsible for those officiers death, do you care about that? Nope.
(Damn this comment section really making me go to the mat for a pair of criminals)
Royz View yeah, huh?
Good video .But music was so distracting.
Can you turn the music down it distracts me from the story thanks
But, but - the music makes it so much more exciting!
Imagine getting robbed by the duo and they take you hostage and ask you to take photos of them. Times have changed, these days people don’t want you to know anything about them
Bonnie had a bum leg from battery acid? Doesn't matter, she won't need it anyway, esp. when those 28 bullets hit her square on.
Their “glamorous life” involved Clyde literally having to carry her around while she suffered. And starved. And froze. Their story is way way too romanticized. That picture where Clyde holding her up is because she couldn’t stand up, not because he was “holding” her all romantic like.
I'm directly related to clyde barrow and can tell you that buck my great grandfather could play acoustic like no other
Accoustic what tho ?
That’s so cool
“So what if they was robbing you, oh well”
What film is the clip at 2:52 from?
They definitely went out with a bang.
Open-minded Skeptic Yeah, if you don’t mind having your body riddled with dozens of bullet holes and put on public display and Bonnie wasn’t wearing underpants! Better to leave an intact body!
I'm pretty sure it was more than one.
