Is Willie a bank robber?

Over a period of many years, Willie took large amounts of money which did not belong to him, from several banks. For part of this time, he was married to a bank employee who helped him take this money.

During a brief period in the early 1970’s he watched the movie “Bonnie and Clyde” several times a day, day after day, for several weeks.

Witnesses will attest to the fact that he was fond of quoting the infamous Willie Sutton.

I cannot deny any of the above. Should I be investigated?

A cavity search is in order, at least.

Photo shopped. Clearly fake news.

In other news... Sun continues to rise.

The Bonnie and Clyde image above is obviously photoshopped (not my doing), that is not their car and the shadows are all wrong. But the text that I wrote is all true.




Actually, if truth be told the car in the above photos is not their car, either. edit: I did not look carefully enough at the photos. That is a '32 Ford. The car they stole and were subsequently killed in, was a '34. The '32 might have also been stolen, but I don't know.

I've always wondered. Especially during the time frame they were "active".
Why did Bonnie get top billing in the Bonnie and Clyde Show?

Shouldn't it have been Clyde and Bonnie?

Most of the time, it was.

It could be that the use of "Bonnie and Clyde" came from Bonnie Parker herself, in the form of her own poetry:
 
quote
The Story of Bonnie and Clyde

You've read the story of Jesse James
Of how he lived and died;
If you're still in need
Of something to read,
Here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde.

Now Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow gang,
I'm sure you all have read
How they rob and steal
And those who squeal
Are usually found dying or dead.

There's lots of untruths to these write-ups;
They're not so ruthless as that;
Their nature is raw;
They hate all the law
The stool pigeons, spotters, and rats.

They call them cold-blooded killers;
They say they are heartless and mean;
But I say this with pride,
That I once knew Clyde
When he was honest and upright and clean.

But the laws fooled around,
Kept taking him down
And locking him up in a cell,
Till he said to me,
"I'll never be free,
So I'll meet a few of them in hell."

The road was so dimly lighted;
There were no highway signs to guide;
But they made up their minds
If all roads were blind,
They wouldn't give up till they died.

The road gets dimmer and dimmer;
Sometimes you can hardly see;
But it's fight, man to man,
And do all you can,
For they know they can never be free.

From heart-break some people have suffered;
From weariness some people have died;
But take it all in all,
Our troubles are small
Till we get like Bonnie and Clyde.

If a policeman is killed in Dallas,
And they have no clue or guide;
If they can't find a fiend,
They just wipe their slate clean
And hand it on Bonnie and Clyde.

There's two crimes committed in America
Not accredited to the Barrow mob;
They had no hand
In the kidnap demand,
Nor the Kansas City depot job.

A newsboy once said to his buddy;
"I wish old Clyde would get jumped;
In these awful hard times
We'd make a few dimes
If five or six cops would get bumped."

The police haven't got the report yet,
But Clyde called me up today;
He said, "Don't start any fights
We aren't working nights
We're joining the NRA."

From Irving to West Dallas viaduct
Is known as the Great Divide,
Where the women are kin,
And the men are men,
And they won't "stool" on Bonnie and Clyde.

If they try to act like citizens
And rent them a nice little flat,
About the third night
They're invited to fight
By a sub-gun's rat-tat-tat.

They don't think they're too tough or desperate,
They know that the law always wins;
They've been shot at before,
But they do not ignore
That death is the wages of sin.

Some day they'll go down together;
And they'll bury them side by side;
To few it'll be grief
To the law a relief
But it's death for Bonnie and Clyde.

— Bonnie Parker

A reasonable person, upon reading the first post might surmise that Willie could have been involved in nefarious activity. Some of you might have even construed it as some sort of confession.

Nowhere in the original post does the writer (who just happens to be Willie) say that Willie is a bank robber, or even suggest that possibility. The writer is free of liability and cannot be accused of false or misleading statements.

The writer states, “Over a period of many years, Willie took large amounts of money which did not belong to him, from several banks. For part of this time, he was married to a bank employee who helped him take this money.” Have Any of you ever taken out a loan for a car or a house? My first wife was an executive secretary for one of the high muck-a-mucks at the biggest bank in town. That helped streamline the process.

The writer goes on to state, “During a brief period in the early 1970’s he watched the movie “Bonnie and Clyde” several times a day, day after day, for several weeks.” When I was in high school, I worked at a movie theater, so I saw many movies over and over, day after day.

“Witnesses will attest to the fact that he was fond of quoting the infamous Willie Sutton.” A newspaper reporter claims that when he asked Willie Sutton why he robbed banks, Sutton replied, “That’s where the money is!” That reporter is most likely guilty of disseminating fake news, but the story has become part of American folklore and I like the idea of stark honesty and simplicity.

The Bonnie and Clyde picture is full of inaccuracy and has no direct connection to Willie, but helps to (mis)lead the reader.

Now, does this thread make sense? Whenever you see or hear something, think about what it really means. Think about why it is presented in a certain way. Are you being lead around by the nose? Of course not! You are much too smart for that, right? Right?

I'm pretty sure that car was not built until after Bonnie and Clyde were dead. At any rate, no Irish plate had 'ZV' until 1981.

1).I doubt it, I assume the access to money was in the forms of loans and unless they were taken out with the intent to not pay them back, not a thief.
2).Most likely but, you should really stick to one woman at a time anyway.
