He beat one man to death with a hammer and another to death with an ashtray. Let’s hope he’s caught and/or taken out quickly.

I thught I slipped into a time warp.

The other “Pretty Boy Floyd” assumed room temperature 84 years ago, in East Liverpool, Ohio.

Yeah, seem to also remember Pretty Boy Floyd has been long gone.

Given that this is in Mississippi the authorities will soon be looking for notorious bank robber George Nelson AKA "Babyface"...

Pretty Boy the original was a handsome guy

This guy not so much

Original killed or participated in over a dozen killings mostly law men

Pretty serious even if a generous bandit

On business in the Bay Area around 30 years ago, I walked into, “Floyd’s Casino,” in Martinez. There was that picture of Pretty Boy and another of a woman on the back bar. The owner/bartender was Pretty Boy’s son and the lady in the photo was his mother. He had built somewhat of a shrine to the old man.

Woody Guthrie wrote a song memorializing Pretty Boy Floyd shockingly called, 'Pretty Boy Floyd'. Have to admit I love the lines in the song:

"Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.


When you think about the time this was written, at the depths of the depression, there's a lot of truth to that statement. The rest of the song is an ode to a psychopathic killer like he was robin hood.
