Someday they’ll go down together; / And they’ll bury them side by side, / To a few it’ll be grief—to the law a relief— / But it’s death for Bonnie and Clyde.
Thanks for another great article, and for sharing it with your readers.
I was only a kid when I saw the movie, but even then I thought the ambush was a pretty grim business.
No attempt to call for a surrender, just magazine after magazine of 30-06 BAR rounds, then 12 gauge buckshot, then emptying their sidearms into the smoking wreckage of the car.
Probably wouldn’t happen quite that way these days.
Thank you. No, law enforcement couldn’t get away with ambushing criminals in the same way today.
The Highwaymen portrays the violent reality that took place in 1934. But the 1967 movie, Bonnie and Clyde, with Warren Beaty and Fey Dunaway, is even more violent. ¡Manos arriba!
