@@StationaryDingleberry I believe it was Thursday the 21st, the day before.

@@MMorbid Thx. Like every minute fact in this case, there are various theories around the parade route, was it changed, when, when published...?? endless minutia; however; they are critical to establish with documented evidence.

@@annmilzarski3786 lol, “But your arm’s off!” “No it’s not!”

Thank you so much for this information. Proper names are so hard to find pronunciation unless it is a famous person. I appreciate you letting me know so I won’t do it again in the future.

@@johnmerced32 almost all were police officers killed in shootouts trying to arrest or catch the gang. And various members of the gang were responsible for the deaths. In some gun fights it isn’t terribly clear who fired the killing shot. Clyde is thought to have been personally responsible for about five. WD Jones one, Buck one, and Henry Methvin three or four. The first death was a shop owner killed by early associates whose names I don’t remember. The shop owner went for a gun, so they shot him. Clyde was the getaway driver and not in the building, but that didn’t matter. Once that happened he faced the chair. Capture meant death so he did what it took to survive. Basically it was his life against theirs, and he chose his own. Clyde preferred fleeing or even kidnapping police and dropping them off in the middle of nowhere so he’d be long gone by the time they reached civilization to report seeing him. But if cornered, he did what had to be done. Henry Methvin was much meaner. He killed at least three officers in cold blood. Clyde certainly would have kidnapped them, but Methvin opened fire. The inadequacy of law enforcement at the time also increased the body count, and not just with the Barrow gang. Completely untrained farmers with exactly zero training, who furnished their own weapons just didn’t cut it anymore in the era of the Great Depression and Prohibition. I have covered the deaths of so many police officers during this period. Many times they had no clue who they were encountering. While the gangs were certainly responsible for these deaths many were absolutely preventable if the police had actually been better trained or prepared.

I thought it was great. And there was an exhibit displaying all the various conspiracy theories, and they ask every interview guest what they think about them. I’m sorry you are disappointed the museum focuses on actual evidence. Don’t get me wrong, nonsense is certainly entertaining, but it wouldn’t be a very good educational institution if it did that. And as a historian I couldn’t use an institution that peddled debunked information.

@MMorbid you're a joke, ridiculous

@MMorbid you're a joke, ridiculous

@MMorbid why do you keep deleting my comment, you're ridiculous

@ I haven’t deleted any comments, I truly haven’t

The older the interview, the worse the sound was. Some of these interviews were done as much as 20 years ago, so they have improved a lot in recent years. It’s funny that the worst sound quality for Jim Leavelle was the interview where he was the youngest. There were certain ones that were particularly bad. I enhanced them as much as I could but there’s only so much I could do. I’m glad you liked it despite those limitations.

@@MMorbid Yes I did enjoy it, keep up the good work.

As small as Reeds Spring is, I have done TWO episodes there, which blows my mind. The other one is even crazier, when that preacher tried to pray his mother back to life. It sadly, did not work. Depending on your age, you may not know about it either. It made national news at the time.

@ Amazing stories. Also, Thompson Pontiac story blows me away. I remember when the old Thompson Pontiac dealership used to be downtown by the shrine Mosque and has moved to the south side of Springfield. Crazy that Thompson’s car got stolen off Walnut! I wonder where that car is today. I love your channel. Keep up the good work!

I am glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for subbing.

@@Scott-s9x I don’t remember without looking it up but it wasn’t Parkland. Methodist maybe? I do remember encountering that information when researching, I’m sorry I didn’t take better note of it. Check jdtippit.com. It had a great timeline I found very useful, and I bet you can find it there.

@@MMorbid yes, Methodist. Oswald went to Parkland and was attended to by many of the same surgeons as JFK (but they were sensitive enough to not bring him to the sameTrauma Room, #1, but #2)
