Bonnie & Clyde: Part 1 (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@outlawofga]

I actually have a Real news paper from that town on this story. It's been a cherished family prize as one could imagine. I got it last year after my brothers passing. It's really a time capsule to say the least. We've read it many times through the years. I feel very blessed to own this Historical treasure. Thanks for this great video Mr Skinner.

[@MustangsGirl]

Mr. Skinner I could listen to your wonderful stories all day. Thank you for sharing these, it is so interesting to have a tour of the historic places, and pictures of how it was then, with a tour guide with the most perfect narratives. The details you provide, is humble and simply the truth. Good Job!! And much appreciated. You have covered all of my favorites. Are you going to do Elvis, or Johnny Cash? And what about the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and Calamity Jane. Also can you do one on Busy Bill Roberts and his claim that he is Billy the Kid, and Pat Garrett let him go, and he still wanted to be pardoned before he died. Thanks

[@cbdesade]

Happy to say I just gave this video thumbs-up #1000.

Excellent presentation. One of the very best I’ve seen. The story teller not only knows his stuff but he knows how to narrate. I absolutely love the fact that as the story is told you are traveling by car following the actual routes and locations that the Bonnie and Clyde story involves. To boot, the author also includes a “now and then comparison of some of the most important locations involved in the, to me, heartbreaking drama of this infamous couple. I will never be comfortable with the fact that Clyde was betrayed in such a shameless way by the person and family of the person who Clyde rescued, by a daring breakout, from an original Texas hellhole prison, if ever there was one. Clyde had such terrible luck throughout his whole life, maybe how his life ended just fit his whole life. Well, I am happy he had a women who loved him so much that she planned to die with him. How many of us today could claim such a thing. Clyde, your tombstone says it perfectly, “ Gone...But not forgotten. Yes sir.

[@gregwatson8219]

Jerry His daddy was a Bull Shitter

[@gregwatson8219]

He was no friend of Bonnies

[@donabbott9058]

Ivor Methvin fully cooperated with Frank Hamer. For two months, there were frequent and intense discussions about the details of Henry's involvement in setting up Clyde and Bonnie. Texas prison officials knew almost immediately after the Eastham Prison debacle in January of '34 that Methvin could be the key to the end of the road for the outlaws.

[@georgehogart461]

What is really funny is it took Mr Darling to finally catch them. He must have got bored with romancing Aunt Bee.

[@D35611]

If you ever make it out to Primm, Nevada, you can see the death car at Whiskey Pete's which is a casino and truck stop. I was out there a couple years ago, and enjoyed checking it out.

[@firebird_spleen4190]

He calls Henry Methvin "Henry Medfin" and his father "Medford" several times.Of course "Bunny" is his soubriquet for Bonny Parker....Amazing

Bunny had a pet Bonnie that she gave to her mother.

Good Ole Boy Jerry butchers the English language without mercy. They was... Would have saw... On and on. 1934 becomes 19and34 etc. Called Highway 154 "157." I can hardly stand to watch his material with all the distractions. Sorry Jerry.

[@almavazquez6397]

Well hello again Jerry...this is a good video...I will search for Part 2...the Hollywood film seems to glamorize their story of B&C but, in reality Clyde was a cold-blooded killer, is there any proof that Bonnie was also a killer...thank you...

[@Birdlives247]

The last picture in the video is not a photo of Clyde at the time he was killed. That may not be obvious to some viewers.

[@celiapage6758]

: No matter what good things said about this duo, they were up for killing people who got in their way. Some people patronize them by holding a yearly anniversary for them, and other things.

[@ropermrmeredith06]

i agree..these two were trash.

[@billanthony7896]

True. A couple of psychotic murderers who don't deserve to be glamorized.

[@gregtrust5599]

Clyde was never going back to jail and I honestly don't blame him for what he went thru plus the nonstop harassment of Texas cops who always tried to get him in trouble before he went on that crime spree. So at that point, never going back to prison, he couldn't live free so he tried to stay alive. He wasn't just out for murder, he killed people that were trying to kill him, cops or not. Bonnie never murdered anyone, she was just Clyde's accomplice and lover. Clyde always stated he never wanted to kill anyone but he killed if he had to, to live another day

[@estherlong807]

I am looking at this video at 8:20 and it looks like a person is on the knoll in the middle of the picture... or am I seeing things?

[@jadeshannon5583]

Interesting!

[@paulrenfrew6137]

The real fascination with this pair is because it plays out like a modern Shakespearian tragedy and is part of American history . Like Billy the Kid , and Jesse James , they are viewed today as rebellious anti-heroes whose crimes are eclipsed by their notoriety and infamy . Rightly or wrongly , their story continues to capture our interest and imagination.

[@billanthony7896]

If it hadn't been for the 1967 movie, these two would have been mostly forgotten by history. Nothing glamorous about them. They were a couple of cold blooded, murdering, low lifes!

What people don't know is Clyde would not be taken alive if they would have not shot at them Clyde and Bonnie would shoot at them killing the cops and getting away

Is this a bed time story?

So sad how they ended. Should have arrested them not slaughter them.

[@dianequelch3771]

The cops stole from them

[@theresapierce3934]

This was cold blooded murder, the law men were executioners on this day and there was a strong chance Bonnie was pregnant.

[@losmosquitos1108]

Theresa Pierce it was a cowardly ambush with intent to kill. Bonnie was in 3rd month pregnant, as she opened the car, she was in socks, a magazine and a sandwich in hands. They killed an innocent unborn....

[@billanthony7896]

Theresa Pierce- Far from being glamorous desparados, Bonnie And Clyde were a couple of psychotic killers! It's easy to blame law enforcement for engaging in a cowardly ambush, but given the real life history of these two scumbags, it's entirely understandable why the posse shot first and asked questions later.

[@billanthony7896]

@@losmosquitos1108 - I don't know that it's true Bonnie was pregnant at the time, but even if that's so, she was the one who put her unborn child in jeopardy through her actions and lifestyle. Many criminals have been romantizied over the years, some of them justifiably so. Bonnie and Clyde don't belong on any such list. They were a couple of psychotic, cold blooded, murderers! They were far from being a Butch Cassidy and Sundance, and proved repeatedly they were willing to go out of their way to kill anyone in sight... Most often innocent civilians who had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the right time.

[@losmosquitos1108]

Bill Anthony yeah I get that. My only problem is law enforcement being judge and executioner at the same time.... simply ain‘t right. It is lynch, not law. Hang them, right, but this was a terrible act of helplessness....

[@herbmiller4474]

They were executed by the police not killed there is a difference not that I have any sympathy for Bonnie and Clyde but they should have at least tried to arrest him and then killed him in the shootout this was an execution

So it was an execution. Oh well. He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword. Goodbye to bad rubbish.
