Sorry, meant to say I wonder if this person would say the same thing about Bonnie and Clyde.
Truth is Hollywood has been doing that for years. All the great Western Robbers in the movies have been memorialized if not as heroes at least compassionate criminals.
I went to see the movie Bonnie & Clyde when it first came out, I think it was in Joplin MO, but the point is on the way out I heard a young man say, "that makes me want to go out and kill a cop."
