With the anniversury of the death of Bonnie Parker and Clied Burrow, the is a new movie comeing out. Like Hollywood, it will portray them as hero's rather then the notorious criminals they were. In the heart of the depression, Bonnie and Clied robbed, killed, kidnapped among other bad acts. They would do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to get away from the cops. They left a trail of bloodshed and tears through out the south and midwest. Whats so special about this criminal couple? People were afraid of them even law enforcement. The day they were killed by the Texas Rangers, my late great grandfather who was a Deputy Sheriff for Beinville Perrish Louisianna, had a short but nerve racking run in with Clied. The family story goes my great grandfather was sitting having breakfast in the local sandwich shop when in walks Clied.
Just the mear fact of who Clied was made him very nervus. When they were shot later that day, they had a partialy eaten sandwich from that sandwich shop. Now at the time my great grandfather didn't know if they were there to eat or to rob the place. That goes to show how fearful people were of these two. So in reality they were not hero's. More like vicious criminals. The real hero's were the Texas Rangers and my great grandfather for not having an itchy trigger finger.
