Bonny And Clyde

[ynnafymmi]

On this day in 1934 the gangsters known as the Barrow-Parker gang were finally eliminated.History portrays them as some kind of American Robin Hoods.They were a bunch of murderous scumbags.Any views,anybody?

[Tilly2]

I don't know. I've seen the film but...?

[david small]

They committed extreme violence and paid with their lives. A fitting end.

[ynnafymmi]

Basically youngsters at the time of their deaths.At the time in the US,states south of the Mason-Dixon line life was cheap.Even worse for the non-whites.Before,during and after the great depression.

I don't think history does portray them as American Robin Hoods, I think one film did...maybe there was a book too, not sure....but films, even books "based on" are not history. they are entertainment.

Two pretty looking people,
But I can tell you, people,
They're the devils children...

[ynnafymmi]

A rubbishy pop song,shoota.I prefer Bonnie Parkers poem,very,very poignant and haunting-"Some day they will go down together,and they will bury them side by side....To a few it will be grief,to the law a relief,but its death for Bonnie and Clyde".
