Quote HistoryQuoted:
Great write up. Gotta admit...Bonnie and Clyde were fuckhead copkillers...I don't understand the fascination. I think it's a general fascination with that era. I'm always fascinated with how Frank Hamer tracked them down. He was a serious badass and old school lawman. You must admit it is very interesting. And I think people of the time were just as fascinated with B&C as we are with modern weirdos/sickos. It's not necessarily a stamp of approval. Just a fascination. |

I may write about just him later. Reading through his career is like reading a pulp novel at times. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Someone just pointed me to the vintage film of the ambush posse inspecting the B&C death care after the ambush. If I would have seen this sooner I would have put it in the article, so i thought I'd share it. Film of the Bonnie and Clyde death care after the ambush Would it be considered unseemly to say that watching the short scene of Clyde's head at the 0.36 mark warmed my heart? 
Fitting end of a pair of psychopathic killers. Belated  to Hamer et al!

I will say that the more I learned about them, the less sympathetic they seemed, and the more I was rooting for the cops. There's a decent book, "Going Down Together" about them that, even though it is sympathetic to them, shows what scum they were. Quote HistoryQuoted:

People sometimes bitch that the cops didn't give them a chance to surrender. Honestly, I don't see it way and I think they were nearly begging to get cut down in an ambush. The cops knew they'd throw down at the drop of a hat. I'd shoot first, too. |

I think after all the cops that they killed, I believe that "give them a chance to surrender" was pretty much seen as "more cops get killed". Fuck that. Full auto BARs was the proper answer then and it's the proper answer today! |

Bonnie was 4' 11" and 90 pounds while Faye Dunaway was 5' 7" Clyde was 5' 8" while Warren Beatty was 6' 2" Not to mention the fact that both Bonnie and Clyde were almost crippled. Clyde cut off two of his toes with an axe to get out of a particularly bad prison (right before he got paroled!) and Bonnie was burned in a car crash and could barely walk. That's movies for you though. |

I saw a Model 8 a few years ago for sale...........it was in decent shape, with a decent price, but I passed it up. I didnt think they made the ammo for it anymore. The .351 Winchester was an interesting round as well. The Russians bought a few of the 1907 rifles IIRC

Looks like the front sight was removed. Not going to win much with that. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Awesome article. Chopped BARs for the win. The lever action 10 gauge is similar to what Arnold carried in Terminator 2. The BARs taken from their dead bodies were full sized. The chopped down BARs were left on the ground after a fight, probably because they didn't work worth a shit. Imagine if you cut a 20" AR barrel flush to the FSB, it wouldn't work either. |

My brother worked with a guy years ago that is related to Clyde. Distant cousin I think and same last name. One day he brought some paper work into work to show my brother and some of the other guy to prove it. He was an ok guy we fished with him a few times. There is still some of the family here in Dallas Ft. Worth
