Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were two criminals who were well known during the Great Depression during the public enemy era. They mostly robbed gas stations or small stores and occasionally robbed banks and were responsible for several murders, nine of which were police officers. Ambushed in Louisiana by the police, they were shot almost 50 times and killed. What I found funny was the popular picture of Bonnie that was published after their home was raided for suspicion of being bootleggers. The picture shows Bonnie smoking a cigar and holding a pistol. Published along with this picture was also the poetry that she wrote often, including during her time spent in jail.
This is super fascinating! It's hard to believe the Bonnie and Clyde story is true. It's also strange to find these criminals likeable in a way because their story is so interesting and their personalities are so over-the-top.
