Bonnie and Clyde Violence Quotes

Now that the gang is wanted for murder, the law steps up its efforts to capture the gang dead or alive. After getting a tip-off from a delivery boy, law enforcement officers descend on a house the gang is staying in. By now, the gang has a whole assortment of guns to use to fight back. In the violent encounter that takes place, two policemen are killed. The violence escalates dramatically.

Blanche pleads with Buck to leave the gang. But Buck knows that, since he's now killed someone (and a policeman at that) there is no turning back. He digs in deeper, and so does the law. Subsequent encounters will only get bloodier.

As Bonnie's mid-raid line lets us know, the gang is prepared for the law, not only with machine guns but now also with grenades. In this raid and the pursuit immediately afterwards—the bloodiest encounter yet—Buck's killed, Blanche's wounded and captured, and Bonnie and Clyde are wounded. But, along with C.W., they manage to escape. The escalating violence has reached yet another level.
