BONNIE AND CLYDE: Platte City Shootout (number 10) 

Thanks so much!

That’s a great compliment, thank you!

@@MMorbid I am absolutely loving ALL of your Bonnie and Clyde videos‼️ You have REALLY done your homework and have brought their story alive with so much information that's NEVER been heard‼️ AWESOME JOB‼️👍🏻 Thank you ‼️☑️❤️

I'd rather watch bonnie and clyde warren beatty and fae dunaway I'd rather see them than hear her documentry about them. she s boring

Glad you like them!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it!

Ya!! And vending machines, and places with slot machines. That's why when they was back home people made sure to tell them they always cleaned out the machines

That’s fascinating, thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for telling me that before I do the episode! I never pronounce anything right, ugh. Thanks for sharing your story. That is awesome! I will be visiting there to not only do Alma, but also the house where Pretty Boy hid out for several months. I’m just not sure when. Welcome to the channel!

Blanche was gorgeous, I think Bonnie was a little jealous because of it. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! I met so many amazing people, I’m glad you were one! See you next year? I may become a regular. I enjoyed it immensely.

Thanks for sharing, that’s amazing!

Thank you so much, I’m so glad you like it! Welcome aboard.

I’m honestly scared to watch it. The last time I saw it I hadn’t done any of this research. Now I know so much I worry I’ll spend the whole time fact checking, lol. I liked it back then, it’s how I initially heard of them.

Mostly garbage.

Aw man.. it's not that great, and it's mostly false but different strokes and boats I guess

@@WillBlindYouWithLight It's a good movie, but there are a lot of factual errors, but that's Hollywood.

I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

Thanks, will do!

Yes exactly. And you know what was always in the back of my mind a lot of times reading her book? It always seemed like she wanted to stand out, she wanted attention. So the buck would straighten up it really seemed like that. Does any other time throughout the book before they went anywhere with Bonnie and Clyde she was a humble didn't like attention kind of girl. But I don't know she agreed with him on some things, at the same time she contradicts herself a couple times but it does seem like she wanted attention while they were on the run. She may even subconsciously have done it I don't know. But it's like she was intentionally doing it I think because overall she kept begging about to go back home. And then after a little while she enjoyed being out with them it seemed. Then again I need to add also that she wrote this for her own personal sake and at the same time she knew that the CEOs and the guards we're reading her things while they inspected or sell and things like that. So for all we know and I thought this also she probably did that just to make it seem like well that's just how it was. Take it or leave it and j Edgar Hoover was evil to her.

Thank you!

There are gangs in cities but not like this, at least not that we hear about. Now if people tried it they’d be caught very quickly. But back then, with no communication between departments, little towns only having a farmer with a part time badge, they kind of had free reign, and took advantage of those law enforcement weaknesses. Lots of gangs did back then, I think that’s what we find fascinating and why we still talk about it. The Depression created such unique circumstances, especially in crime, that we would never see today. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

The information came from lots of places but I did have “Go Down Together” on site. I’m also a big fan of the Bonnie and Clyde Hideout website, the information is accurate and it is invaluable when you are going to the site of any of their shootouts or robberies. It helps me find them and figure out where things were. I also watch documentaries, oral history interviews, etc. I frequently get lost in rabbit holes when I’m doing research! Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

😂 very, very true. But dang, Clyde was good at getting away.

Honestly, I just tried it and they lined up. I think it’s accurate, when comparing 60s aerial photos and the names of roads and such, I think lining them up is pretty accurate. Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much!

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Sounds like something they would do, and Clyde had a big enough ego he liked it if people recognized his name so he would tell people who he was. It’s definitely possible! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Clyde was simply more comfortable with them, they drew far less attention for one thing and were less likely to go wrong. He wasn’t interested in big bucks, he just wanted enough money for basic expenses and to keep moving. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thank you! 😄

Is this the English language?

I’m pretty sure in this case it is because it is in the lake. I lined the aerial view up with the Google map so that location must be accurate. The ambush marker is “kind of” in the right place. It’s where the posse stood and started shooting (at least that’s what I understood when at the festival in May.) Do you think it should be where the car rolled to a stop? Just curious.

@MMorbid HA! Very hard to dispute your confidence in the Tavern's loc... cos I see how much WORK you put in each video with your research. Not to beat a dead horse, why didn't the sign say " You are looking in front of you in this lake at what once stood the famous Bonnie & Clyde hideouts" instead say " ...west of here was where Tavern was located.." in which places the Tavern at the far end of the parking lot near the grassy area. By the way, your video of where Clyde stole the Ford V8... was fantastic! How and where did you get all that info?? No clue that home is still extant. Such super and entertaining vid

@MMorbid This had been BUGGING me for 3 days! I watched few documentaries and few youtubers video about the ambush. I'm in the west coast. I don't know Gibsland. But I do know Clyde drove 7miles south from the cafe. I recognize the long straightway from top of the hill to the ambush site. The marker is in erected in the WRONG PLACE!! The lawmen were waiting in the bushes across from the marker. Clyde's death car rolled to the embankment as the same side as the posse...across the road from the marker. This I'm 1000% certain from Hinton's 1934 death car video. To answer your question, that's where I think the officials should place the marker. Not fair to history buffs and morbid folks. Same damn thing in No Carolina...all historic landmarks and actual sites are not the same

I’m glad I know this before doing that episode! Someone else tried to explain this in another comment but you have explained it better. Thank you for the information!

I’ll be visiting there at some point to cover that event. Not sure exactly when. There’s some Pretty Boy locations in Fort Smith too, so that will be a neat trip. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the information, especially the pronunciation. I really appreciate it.

Apologies if I made a mistake. I try to be perfect but usually only spend a few weeks researching each topic, things can get missed or misstated. I’ve done a lot of episodes so I don’t specifically remember this detail, but if I said something that wasn’t factual I apologize. The mistake was not intentional.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Good observation, I remember being amazed myself that Clyde, Bonnie and WD weren’t injured. When that garage door opened it should have been a hail of fire. How could they miss? I’m glad you are enjoying it.

Clyde wouldn’t have been taken alive or would have gotten the chair. But I think Bonnie would have survived, done a little time like Blanche, and had a life. That’s not what happened though, such is life.

Yeah,but there wouldn't b the movie classic, Bonnie&Clyde.

That was not the topic so I did not do in depth research on that event (yet) beyond a quick review for context. It will be covered later though and I will certainly look for eye witness reports. Thanks for the information though.

@daveotis35 seriously? Could you post a link? How did u track that down?

@pingchen-jo8es yes. Me and Buddy Barrow took a trip to the house. There was a museum near by. We told the lady there what we were doing and she told us she had the original eye witness report. I have her card somewhere. We each got a copy

@@daveotis35 were you at the festival this weekend? I met Buddy and Rhea Leen. I would also like the museum’s contact information if possible. TY

@MMorbid no I was gonna go but something came up at the last min.
