Bonnie and Clyde were devoted to their families.

Unlike many of their contemporaries in the criminal world, Clyde and Bonnie were not lone wolves depending only on each other and a small group of like-minded criminals. They both had devoted families who stuck by them through their worst times, and they constantly made every effort to stay in touch with and support their relatives.

Bonnie and Clyde made frequent trips back to the West Dallas area, where their families lived, throughout their criminal career. Sometimes they would return for visits multiple times in one month. Clyde’s standard method was to drive quickly past his parents' house and throw a Coke bottle with a note out of his car window; his mother or father would recover the bottle, which contained directions on where to meet outside of town. Although the parents initially didn’t like each other (Bonnie’s mother blamed Clyde for ruining her daughter’s life), they learned to cooperate by speaking in code on the telephone and arranging rendezvous.

When Bonnie and Clyde had money, their families benefited from their largesse; when they were struggling, wounded or destitute, their families helped them with clean clothes and small amounts of money. At the time of his death, Clyde was attempting to purchase land for his mother and father in Louisiana. Eventually, several members of the Barrow family would serve short jail terms for aiding and abetting their famous relatives.

Ironically, Bonnie and Clyde’s devotion to family would be their undoing. Barrow gang member Henry Methvin seemed to share a similar devotion to his family. Clyde and Bonnie took this as evidence of Henry's trustworthiness and did all they could to make sure he saw his own family as often as possible. Henry, however, conspired with his father to betray Bonnie and Clyde by alerting the police to their whereabouts in return for his own pardon. It was on a trip to pick up Henry from his father’s house that Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed.

 

Bonnie and Clyde were difficult to embalm…and they knew their embalmer.

Bonnie and Clyde famously died in a hailstorm of bullets shot at their car by an assembled posse of Texas and Louisiana lawmen. Stopping to help Henry Methvin’s father fix his apparently broken-down truck on a Louisiana road, Clyde pulled the car to a stop when the posse opened fire without warning. Approximately 150 rounds later, Bonnie and Clyde lay dead in their car, which was pockmarked with holes like a piece of grey Swiss cheese. Not taking any chances, the leader of the posse, Frank Hamer, even approached the car and fired several additional shots into the already dead Bonnie’s body. Her hand still held part of the half-eaten sandwich that would be her last meal.

The coroner’s report detailed 17 holes in Clyde’s body and 26 holes in Bonnie’s body. Unofficially, there may have been many more. C.B. Bailey, the undertaker assigned to preserving the bodies for the funerals, found that the bodies had so many holes in them in so many different places that it was difficult to keep embalming fluid in them.



Assisting Bailey was a man named Dillard Darby, who had been kidnapped by the Barrow gang a year earlier after his car had been stolen by them and he’d tried to retrieve it. At the time, Bonnie was morbidly tickled to discover that the man they’d kidnapped was an undertaker, and she asked Darby to take care of the gang’s mortuary needs in the future. Little did Clyde and Bonnie know when they gave Darby five dollars and released him that day that he would indeed attend to them after death.

For those that "hate" them, you must also hate Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway that brought them back from the grave and onto the big screen ???

 

I suppose that all of the people that made this the number 11 film of all time are all assholes too for liking the topic ???

Bonnie and Clyde: No 11 best crime film of all time


It might be the sexiest come-on in film history. Truck-stop waitress Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) has been waiting her whole life for something to happen. Then, one sweltering day she eyes a man – the kind momma warned against – loitering by the car. Liking what she sees, she arranges herself naked at the window, calling out: "Hey boy," in an easy drawl. A cocksure smirk spreads across Clyde Barrow's (Warren Beatty) face. Within minutes she is caressing the shaft of his pistol. Bonnie and Clyde: they consummate their first robbery before formal introductions.

"Who'd want to see the rise and fall of a couple of rats?" asked a studio executive at Warner Brothers, which grudgingly financed the film. In 1967, plenty wanted to watch Bonnie and Clyde stick it to authority. Influenced by New Wavers François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard (both were offered the script before it went to Arthur Penn), this was sex and violence done in the spirit of European arthouse. Dunaway smoulders (enjoying a killer fashion moment in those berets), more than a match for Beatty's strutting, cheap charms. For better or worse, going out convulsing in a hail of bullets never looked this seductively stylish.

 

In a little Trivia ...

Bonnie & Clyde premiered in Canada (Montreal Film Festival) under Warren Beatty's request where it received 14 curtain calls and standing ovations ...

 

HOLY FUCK Brandi, your comments in this thread are following my posts like a lost puppy looking for a tit to suck on ...

And Why The Fuck are you still talking, zip that cumcatcher of yours ...

 

Ya ok tough guy. I walk over asswipes like you to get to a fight ...

I read some of your bitch posts. Old school my ass.

 

Bonnie and Clyde duo busted in NYC after cross-country hunt
December 9, 2016 | 2:27pm




The Bonnie and Clyde of the grunge world led cops on a cross-country manhunt from the Seattle area to Queens, where they were busted Friday in the shooting and stabbing of two men in a bizarre West Coast home invasion, police said.

Chloe Fontaine, 24 — who has a lip ring and a Beavis and Butthead tattoo on her chest — and beau Mateusz Rudnik, 27, were arrested in Flushing three months after the brutal break-in near Olympia, Wash., police sources said.

Mateusz, who wears a hoodie and messy Kurt Cobain-style hair, allegedly covered his face with a white bandanna and ordered the men to the ground before shooting them with a semi-automatic handgun on Sept. 11, the Olympian reported.

His knife-wielding gal pal stabbed the homeowner in the head and they both rummaged through his belongings before fleeing to the East Coast, according to police.

On Friday, the cold-hearted couple was arrested at a home on 58th Road in Flushing — where Rudnik once lived — and charged with assault, robbery and unlawful imprisonment, the sources said.

The lovebirds have ties to Seattle and Portland but are likely homeless vagabonds, cops told the Olympian.

Rudnik’s nickname is “Polish” because he has an accent. Along with Beavis and Butthead ink, Fontaine has a Joker tattoo on her arm.

The men whom the couple are accused of attacking were rushed to a hospital in Olympia and survived.

 

The two above are NOT to be liked ...

 

Sumbitch...I was there in Olympia sept 16th - 20th, and in Cobain's neighborhood.
It's not a very big town...

This image provided Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2016, by RR Auction of Boston shows the first page of an April 1934 letter from Depression-era gangsters Bonnie and Clyde to a former member of their gang they felt had betrayed them. The letter, written in Bonnie Parker's neat cursive and signed by Clyde Barrow, is going up for auction and could fetch more than $40,000 when it's sold in September.


Sour letter from Bonnie and Clyde to former member of their gang up for auction
Bonnie and Clyde made it quite clear how they felt about a former member of their gang in a letter they sent to him as he sat in the Dallas County Jail.

He was a coward, they wrote, and they should have killed him when they had the chance.

The four-page letter to Raymond Hamilton was written in April 1934 in Bonnie Parker's neat cursive and signed by Clyde Barrow. It could fetch more than $40,000 when it's sold next month by Boston-based RR Auction, said the auction house's executive vice president, Robert Livingston.

Based on the language, experts think Barrow, who had poor writing skills, likely dictated the letter to Parker, Livingston said Wednesday.

The couple was livid with Hamilton, in part because of a disagreement over how to split $4,000 stolen from a Texas bank just two months earlier.

"I should have killed you then I would have saved myself much bother and money looking for you," reads the letter, which is full of 1930s gangster jargon.

The letter also says Hamilton is "yellow," pointing out that he was captured without resistance and based on the way he acted during a narrow escape from a police road block in Missouri.

"The next impression was when we got the road 'blocked' on us in the Ozarks and you were too 'yellow' to fight. You cowered in the floorboard, afraid of being shot," the letter reads.

It also contains a prescient line about Bonnie and Clyde's own demise only a month later, when they were killed in a law enforcement ambush in Louisiana.

"I know that some day they will get me but it won't be without resistance," the letter reads.

It ends: "I hope this will serve the purpose of letting you know that you can never expect the least of sympathy or assistance from me. So long."

There is still intense interest in Bonnie and Clyde, who were almost glorified in their day before the public turned against them after they were linked to the murder of two police officers, Livingston said. Two pistols recovered from the bodies of the infamous outlaw couple were sold by RR in 2012 for more than $500,000.

It's unclear if Hamilton ever saw the letter, Livingston said. It was intercepted by Sheriff Richard "Smoot" Schmid, who shared it with newspapers several months later. It remained in his family's possession until they decided to auction it.

"Every line in this letter is remarkable," Livingston said. "It's one of a kind."

 

Those who enjoy movies like "Bonnie & Clyde" should wonder why they do. I do not like those movies.

I believe that crime is a genetic inclination. I do not believe that crime is caused by a single crime gene. I believe that there are a number of genes that work in conjunction to incline a person toward criminal behavior.

I do not believe that someone with those genes will necessarily become a criminal. I do believe that such a person will enjoy fantasizing committing crimes and getting away with it, and that such a person will enjoy watching movies that romanticize criminals.

I have fantasies. They are of legal achievements. The thought of stealing $100,000 and getting away with leaves me cold.

Once a woman asked me, "When you were growing up how did your parents keep you from getting into trouble in school and with the police?" Apparently this was a problem she had with her son.

I had to answer, "My parents did not need to keep me from getting into trouble in school and with the police. I did not want to do the things that might have gotten me into trouble in school and with the police. It did not matter if I got caught. I did not want to do those things."

I am confident that I do not have crime genes, and equally certain that I was born with a genetic inclination toward goodness.

 

I am confident that they were Second Amendment Absolutists. They agreed with the National Rifle Association that they needed guns to protect themselves from the government.

 

Must be nice, my allowance went straight into my weekend bail fund lol.

As for the first paragraph, being a history buff is one reason that films like this can be appealing but I understand what you mean in your statement. One does not necessarily need to agree with or condone the behavior of the subjects to appreciate how they may have helped shape history and as such the future as well. Without those that are willing to walk the other side of the line between right and wrong, we would have nothing to gauge our behavior with ...

 

I bet Bonnie would have took one look and shot your dick right off!

 

Funny how neither joliet or his henchbitch aren't around lately ... good riddance LOL.

Anyway ...

Bonnie and Clyde buffs snatch up the duo's keepsakes in $100,000 outlaw auction

Keepsakes from West Dallas' famous outlaws Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, including a three-headed snake ring, were sold Saturday in a Boston auction.

They were among the items sold in the Gangsters, Outlaws and Lawmen auction of artifacts connected to some of the nation's most notorious gangsters that sold for more than $100,000.

Parker's three-headed snake ring sold for $25,000, according to Boston-based RR Auction. A "So Long" letter written by Parker and signed by Barrow just before their deaths in 1934 sold for $16,250.

Items from the collection also included a typed letter with fingerprints signed by Barrow and the original arrest warrants for the pair.


Bonnie Parker's silver-toned three-headed snake ring featuring green and red jewels was sold by RR Auction. This ring is one of the jewelry and legal documents belonging or pertaining to Al Capone and Bonnie and Clyde that were auction in Boston Thursday, June 8, 2017.

A pair of blood-stained glasses said to have been worn by Parker the day she was killed were expected to be on the auction block. When the glasses and other rarely seen relics came to Dallas this spring, experts estimated the glasses would sell for more than $50,000.


But RR Auction withdrew them from the auction last month after a DNA analysis was not conclusive, the auction house said.


Blood-caked glasses that some believe were Bonnie Parker's were displayed in Dallas in April.

Parker was said to have the glasses on when she and Barrow were ambushed and killed on a Louisiana road. A 1934 article from the Shreveport Journal detailed how Parker was wearing glasses "thickly splotched with blood."

For years, there have been questions about whether the glasses were Parker's because she was never photographed wearing them.

Items from other American outlaws were also auctioned Saturday. A diamond pocket watch that belonged to Al Capone went for $84,375, the artifact that sold for the highest bid.

A handwritten musical composition Capone wrote in Alcatraz in the 1930s sold for $18,750. The musical piece, entitled "Humoresque," shows Capone's softer side. It contains the lines: "You thrill and fill this heart of mine, with gladness like a soothing symphony, over the air, you gently float, and in my soul, you strike a note."

I watched the movie "Bonny and Clyde," on television, and I did not particularly like it. I do not like movies that romanticize criminals.
