re: Bonnie & Clyde killed 87 yrs ago today in an ambush in Louisiana

Interesting bit of trivia about them. Bonnie and Clyde died on the same day.

He’s only 19.

No he’s not. He didn’t join this site when he was 3 years old.

Clyde was an idiot.

“To avoid hard labor in prison Clyde decided to hobble himself in order to escape the difficult work detail. Using an ax, he or a fellow inmate chopped off two toes on his left foot. However, Barrow was set free six days after his intentional injury. Without his knowledge, Barrow's mother had successfully petitioned for his release. Clyde’s balance was never the same, and his walk was slightly hobbled from then on.”




Clyde was a POS. Not surprised they took him out the way they did.


“Public opinion turned against Bonnie and Clyde after reports of the murder of two motorcycle cops on Easter Sunday, 1934. Sleeping late in their car near Grapevine, Texas, Bonnie, Clyde and Henry Methvin were taken by surprise by the policemen, who suspected a car of drunks. Clyde’s injunction to Henry to kidnap the cops, “Let’s take them,” was misinterpreted as an encouragement to fire, and Henry blew away patrolman E.B. Wheeler. The situation beyond saving, Clyde fired on the other cop, a rookie named H.D. Murphy, whose first day it was on the job. Murphy was about to get married, and his fiancée wore her wedding gown to the funeral.”
