1. When they are white

teen criminals, they are glamorized as "Bonnie & Clyde" and are "teens" or "juveniles.

But if they are black, they are thug inner city "youths" and "savages".

6. Bonnie and Clyde were vicious murderers.

I don't see how calling them that "glamorizes" them.

10. "Bonnie and Clyde"----the movie.

The lead roles were played by two very beautiful and glamorous people, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

Yes, they finally got killed in the end, but not before we got to see their "love story" portrayed.

When it comes criminals like Billy the Kid, Bonnie & Clyde, Al Capone, and oddly even Charles Manson - the white criminal has been idolized in pop culture. The imagery that is created is designed to promote a complete disconnect between their historical reality and the fantasy that is pushed that underscores their exploits as being part of "the American Way"... something that is awe-inspiring and to be admired.

4. I hope that they were wealthy, so that they can use this as a learning experience

Rather than as a life-ending felony conviction, as would happen to normal people not cursed with affluenza.

And if they were black, we'd be reading about how they'd been slain while threatening police.


Funny ol' world.

5. Cops love to make shit up. Bonnie and Clyde? Gimme a break.

8. I didn't read every report, but I think the "Bonnie and Clyde" comparison came from the media.

Not sure what you think the cops made up. The one officer was dragged and injured following the armed robbery at the mini-mart.

7. I'm just glad they are safe.

In big trouble, but safe. The second truck they stole (the one they wrecked in WV) belonged to someone who lives not too far from here. I recognized the name right away.

The girl's father said in an earlier interview that the gun was for shooting deer, as the kids planned to "live off the land". Kids do the craziest things.
