The Barrow gang did rob the stores and gas stations. I learned a bit about their background after I saw Bonnie and Clyde's infamous car full of swiss holes at a hotel in Primm near Vegas when I was a teen. The comparison between murderers (Barrow gang) and those immature teens is poor. Journalists probably were being lazy by labeling them "Bonnie and Clyde" is because two teens were in love and did stupid things together.
