[@karenhill3970]

Thank you so much ..im a 5 th generation Texan ...this was so thoroughly done ..the stories we heard about B& C Growing Up brought chills .....thanks ..yes Texas Rangers awesome Men

[@jfk1792]

aughhh , I dont know ?

[@BillFEILHAUER-bu7go]

Frank was the epitome of guts, brains and fairness.

[@ftlshome1]

Fairness… no way he shot first and asked questions later..: the B & C ambush was neither justified or legal.. it was murder

[@roberttaylor6295]

What superb, well researched and calmly delivered in a make educative and thoroughly enjoyable.. . The story has been sanitised by he film but you told the truth and totally changed my mind and now e them as maniacal thugs and evil monsters. Thank you. Rob

[@tonycolca2241]

My mom and dad were the same age as Bonnie and clyde. They made it through the depression without harming anyone. Bad people are Bad.They are just part of humanity.

[@Paulscottrock]

To be fair, Clyde grew up homeless. He was put in big boy prison at 19, repeatedly raped. He killed his rapist. So, it’s not fair to compare him to a person who grew up in a home.

[@karenhill3970]

​@@Paulscottrock..I'm sorry but no..are you Texan?? .I was raised not to speak ill if the dead but...they were white trash murderer s ...from East Dallas I'm Texan.my Grandfather was from beautiful Oak Lawn & his Daddy died early on my great granMother raised her kids by herself before depression they did not turn to evil ways ...

excellent job Thank you

Thank you this was very good

[@SMcCaskill]

Frank Hamer didn't mess around! He said he had no problem killing Bonnie because she had killed 5 cops. When he stepped into the road and stopped them Bonnie and Clyde knew they were toast.

[@Random_commenter2]

Great video

[@douglasstubbs8851]

The posse used Remington Model 8 rifles along with 1 1874 Winchester 30.30, a BAR copycat called a Monitor (can't recall mfg at the moment but I believe it was S&W), 12 gauge pump shotguns and many handguns as backup. There was no way they were getting away. Frank Hamer was a legendary lawman. The Legends of the Old West podcast has an excellent 5 or 6 part series on him worth listening to.

[@trapperbobpatriot8288]

Monitor was a colt firearm

I heard they moved the ambush marker a mile or so down the road to a more suitable area for people to stop and park for photographs.

My great grandmother made dresses in West Dallas. When they were killed Cummie had nothing to wear for Clyde’s funeral. My aunt knew one of the Barrows and they lent her the dress for her to attend. She did eventually get the dress back. Back then people didn’t really wear deodorant so my grandmother said that her mother was so mad because she got it back smelly and dirty, she also mentioned that Cummie had holes in her underwear when she got fitted for the dress. Also Bonnie was initially buried at Fish Trap cemetery but she was moved where she is now

[@cynthiacarter514]

@@mikeortizjr.2186 I have seen a video of person who’s grandfather helped Cummie deliver one of her babies because he was local doctor. He said she was not a nice woman and did not pay the bill.

[@750suzuki]

Instead of 'If you click on that...' why not photos of the places?

[@ALH072]

I thought that was a made up story of Bonnie shooting the patrolman, seen it said many other places that she never shot anyone.

[@northernlight4614]

​@ALH072 There are a lot of inconsistencies to this video from what I have read over the last 30 years. The eyewitness account to the murder of the two motorcycle cops was discredited because he was too far away to see anything. Also, Methvyn was not asleep in the car. Clyde said "Lets take them" (kidnap them). Methvyn didn't know what that meant so he grabbed a BAR (not a shotgun) and shot one or both of them. Clyde may have shot the second one after Methvyn botched the kidnapping. Bonnie? There is no evidence that she ever fired a gun in battle. The famous reenactment showing her standing over a downed officer and killing him has long been discredited as the witness was too far away to see anything. An STD that she gave to every gang member? Please. Too funny. Finally it was fellow deputy Ted Hinton that had a liking for Bonnie and visited her at her cafe, not Bob Alcorn. Ted Hinton was single, Bob Alcorn was married. I'm nor sure where the author got his sources.

[@johnniemi8012]

Where did you get the spelling of (Methvin). An expert like you should at least get the spelling right.@@northernlight4614

[@danzaccount]

Thank you, northern lights, for your comments. I tend to believe your side of the story as Bonnie was so crippled up at the end she wouldn't have walked out there and shot the patrolman. It was Methvin. I believe he was killed years later because he was a rat. Many of these untruths spread after their seats to sensationalized the story. Bonnie wasn't an angel, she was very bad, but not how this story portrays her. Thank you for pointing out these inconsistency.

[@lonestarbug]

Good job.

[@j.dunlop8295]

Hunting B. & Clyde; Hamer balked at the compensation of $180 a month, less than half his current pay, but Simmons reiterated that Hamer would collect his fair share of the reward money. He further added to the deal by authorizing Hamer to take whatever he wanted from among the Barrow Gang's possessions when he caught them.

[@j.dunlop8295]

Bonnie and Clyde, sociopaths, thieves and murders, got just ends!

[@MaggieBryan-ji6jn]

I was told one of them are buried in Garland

[@danmiller2523]

Didn’t know that Bonnie gave the other gang members an STD. Several books I’ve read hint to it but none come out and state it. I suppose for some morbid reason some want to keep their image clean.

[@davidknight1612]

I grew up in commerce Oklahoma my home town, kinda sketchy on that story, they took him to fort Scott let him go, my great granddad ran for office as chief of police after that incident he was not elected because he was to gungho , maybe they would of caught them sooner if was elected!!

…thanks for not appearing cameo and for the info

[@owheydusoapsk]

I can't find a source for the claim that Bonnie gave every member of the gang an std.

[@WiseAboutTexas]

The FBI files are public and easily accessed it’s in there

[@owheydusoapsk]

@@WiseAboutTexas Thank you. I'll look.

[@kevin-jg5nq]

It could be true but where did the FBI get that information? Was V.D. relevant to catching criminals?

[@gmanjacks1793]

I don't believe that, after researching B & C for decades, I never heard that, not even from those who were with them, such as WD and others. J E Hoover was known to lie. Bonnie was definitely married to a loser. He left her for two years, and nowhere has it been found that she ran around with other men. She actually waited for him, so that does not compute.

Did Frank hamer shoot Bonnie Parker in the head after she's was dead

[@cynthiacarter514]

No

[@carolinawestern3875]

He crept up on the passenger side and stuck his gun thru the broken window. Then shot her in the right shoulder. They falsely claimed they only shot in self defense. But Clyde was driving in his socks and Bonnie was eating a sandwich. Neither were even armed.

Ted Hinton claimed he did.
