The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde

On this date in 1934, 73 years ago, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker drove into an ambush by law enforcement in Louisiana. They were so fast and accurate with their weapons - especially the BAR, that the police wern't going to give them any chance to fire back.

During their time on the road, they only averaged around $25.00 per robbery - mostly from grocery and drug stores. But they were murderous bastards when it came to anything that looked like a police officer.

"They don't think they're tough or desperate
They know the law always wins
They've been shot at before, but they do not ignore
That death is the wages of sin.

Someday they'll go down together
And they'll bury them side by side
To few it'll be grief, to the law a relief
But it's death for Bonnie and Clyde."

By the way - they were not buried "side by side" - they wern't even buried in the same cemetary.
