On this day May 23, 1934, 23 years ago at approximately 9:15 a.m. Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed and gunned down
With dozens of rounds striking their bodies, Clyde's head flew back
and Bonnie's toppled forward. Clyde's foot slipped off of the clutch
pedal and the car rolled into a ditch.
The lawmen stood looking at the bullet-riddled car for several seconds,
and when no return fire came back at them, they lowered their weapons.
Inside the car they found, a bloodstained map of the state of Louisiana,
Clyde's sunglasses, Bonnies cosmetics, a detective magazine and her
partially eaten sandwich.
Clyde had over five hundred dollars in his wallet, when inspected!
Besides the large arsenal of weapons found throughout the car, the
lawmen found under the back seat, fifteen license plates from various
states. On the rear seat, they found travel bags full of clothes and some sacks
of food items. In the trunk they found camping equipment and Clyde's
saxophone.
So to our Rude friends as we remember their death on this day 23 years ago have no fear that we Bonny n Clyde are still alive and kicking although business has kept us in our hide away never forget we are still peeping in on you all!
If you feel so inclined join us and have yourselves a Bonny n Clyde Ambush cocktail to remember those two legends .
Ciao
