Bonnie and Clyde: bandits for a reason....

On the early morning of May 23, 1934, near the town of Gibsland, in northeastern Louisiana, a six-man chase hid in the bushes awaiting its "catch." At 9.15 a stolen gray Ford V-8 was found, in which the two of them were. She was in a red dress and he was in a blue suit, with a hat on his head. In less than 16 seconds, 130 bullets were fired at them. That morning, the most famous couple of criminals - Bonnie and Clyde - ended ingloriously on a country road. He was 25 and she was 24. Over the next three decades, their names will be forgotten, although from time to time they used to appear on the pages of five-penny novels.

During the Great Depression of the 1930s in America, people were broken and torn. There was no hope or joy in the gloomy reality of life. With no way to see the light at the end of the tunnel, people admired the exploits of bank robbers, who seemed to be the only ones making progress in those years of crisis.

The two most notorious were Bonnie Parker and Clyde Berow. Their murderous campaign and race through the south of the Midwest made them legends. For ordinary people, they have become a symbol of a free life without worries. For the police, they were the most wanted couple in the state - Bonnie and Clyde.

Bonnie Parker was a beautiful and intelligent girl. Everyone who knew her said she was beautiful. Her father was a bricklayer, who died when she was four years old. Little Bonnie was raised by her single mother in an industrial suburb of Dallas. Six days before she turned 16, Bonnie married a boy from Roy Thornton's class. The marriage fell apart within a few months, and Bonnie never saw her husband after he went to prison in 1929 for a robbery, and she found herself in a situation of working in a restaurant while her husband was in prison.

Shortly afterwards, Bonnie met Clyde. It happened in January 1930 in the house of a mutual friend, where Bonnie stopped by for hot chocolate. According to eyewitnesses, they liked each other at the same time.

She never divorced Thornton. On the day Bonnie and Clyde were killed in 1934, she was still wearing Thornton's wedding ring and a tattoo on the inside of her right thigh with two interconnected hearts and two names - Bonnie and Roy.

Bonnie was extremely smart and wrote poetry, for which she received awards at school. But she could not escape poverty. After meeting Clyde, she was attracted to an exciting life, good clothes and expensive cars. It could be said that Bonnie was naive, but she was also very brave because she knew what would happen to her in the end.

Clyde Berov came from a poorer family of farmers in a slum on the outskirts of Dallas. As a teenager, he tried to enroll in the Navy, but the consequences of his childhood illness caused him to fail the medical commission. It was a heavy blow for him. He wanted something more than the pathetic life of his family, with whom he lived. He was willing to do whatever it took to get what he thought belonged to him. By robbing banks and shops, he chose the life of a criminal instead of hard work, because he realized that he could get nothing from hard work.

The moment Bonnie and Clyde met, hot love and deep understanding emerged. They both wanted a better life and were willing to do whatever it took to get it. Although they realized that they would never live to old age, they were determined to live the most fulfilled and fastest life they could.

They were shot in 1934 with 130 bullets, and their drilled ford is today located as an attraction in the lobby of a hotel in Nevada, 40 km south of Las Vegas.

Bonnie and Clyde were closely connected in life, but were separated in death. Although the couple wanted to be buried next to each other, Bona's mother, who did not approve of her relationship with Clyde, buried her daughter in a special cemetery in Dallas. Clyde is buried next to his brother Marvin under a tombstone with the inscription: "Gone, but not forgotten."

It was a love story of two dreamers looking for a better life than they had.
