Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie Parker was obsessed with fame. She finally got it in the end, when her body was shown to the public. Riddled with bullets. I doubt that is what she was hoping for. Clyde Barrow had kept them out of trouble for years Thanks to his keen sixth sense, of where to go, and when to go. His body was right there alongside the love of his life. I imagine he had no idea his body would be displayed like that. They were public enemies one and two for a while. Their crime scenes were stair steps to each other. Increasingly dangerous robberies occurred, as their confidence grew. The public was totally infatuated with the robber lovers. Perhaps this is why the G-men displayed their bodies for all to see. Hoping to dissuade the next potential Bonnie and Clyde. To this day there are books and movies written about them. The public has a pathological fascination for this kind of thing. No idea why.

I don't know either, Caren, but I have to admit they were a fascinating couple. And I mean "fascinating" in a most riveting way...like an automobile accident you can't help but gawk at.

I feel sorry for their mothers and their fathers.
