As much as I love to hate modern news coverage, I am a foolish victim of the old stuff. Back when photographs were real, back when tales were probably stretched just as much as today but it seemed you could believe it. History.
Since we weren't there, we have to believe it. Isn't that a sad state of affairs, believing it?
So last week two handguns sold for about a half a million at auction, said to be taken off of Bonnie and Clyde when they were ....uhhh summarily executed by cops:
Their demise wouldn't hold up in California today, you just couldn't do that. But the cops were pissed off. After all, Bonnie and Clyde had killed cops. And robbed banks.
So finally in Louisiana on a back road, the cops got them cornered up. There was no discussion, just bullets. Here's the result:
The cops shot the doors, the fenders, the hood, the radiator, and probably birds flying overhead and lots of nearby trees.
If this had been a modern day military operation, most of the team would have been busted back to cooking beans in the mess hall. But a few of the bullets did hit Bonnie and Clyde, according to historical accounts.
Just saying.
