B&C could've turned themselves in. But they preferred to shoot their way out. So if the posse announces their presence B&C would've opened fire. Yeah a lot of folks turned out for their funerals, but as a spectacle. No TV at the time a lot of folks were lucky to have a radio. So why not go to the funeral it was something to do.
The bottom line is, no one still living knows the exact truth about the Bonnie and Clyde escapades. The story most buy into today was built upon highly questionable "facts" collected sometime after they were killed. Stories changed, some witnesses for one reason or another (maybe threats) changed their stories. We really don't know who did what in every instance. So Bonnie and Clyde were whatever you want them to be. This is no longer about history, it's now a murder mystery listed under "Novel." Perfect fodder for Hollywood.
What happened to everyone being afforded a defense? They just lay in wait and murdered them in cold blood? And was congratulated for it? Of course this still happens to day. My thing is, why not just say we, the justice system will kill whomever we want , whenever we want. Just be real about it. P.S. look how all these ppl went to the funeral as if he was a hero. One might say, how could these "good" ppl be so into the criminals? But just think.... This was a day and age when they were ok with lynching Black ppl. So how "good" were they?

Well they chose there own path and they did it to there self's
No doubt Bonnie was a refreshing personality to him judging by the reports on his family, mother and criminals he was abused by. Just sayin
