Yea, murderer shooting from ambush. Lawman are just 1/2 notch above the criminals they hunt. Most -in fact - are criminals themselves. Don't believe me? Wait until that knock comes at UR door @ 4 am.
Few people remember Bonnie &Clyde killed 12 people before Frank ended their lives. Hollywood has been cruel in the past , portraying him as inept and fueled by revenge in the 67 movie Bonnie& Clyde. His family successfully sued the movies producers. A recent movie "The Highwaymen" is a fair portrayal of the man.
I wonder why Warren Beatty would go out of his way to smear Hamer. Why can’t Hollywood just tell the damn story instead of always pushing a narrative. The Hamer family sued and they settled out of court.
@@williamfeilhauer2667 No, shitbulls are raging psychopaths from the beginning or inevitably snap at some point in their lives. No one knows what their triggers are & only morons keep them as pets.
I had asked my grandfather, who had been born at the turn of the century, what he had remembered or thought about the events of his youth, such as the Titanic, WWI, Bonnie and Clyde, etc. He was pretty clear that the intelligent people of that time were tired of the crime spree these criminals were on, and gladly welcomed an end to the violence of the depression and prohibition. Only "ignorant folk and kids" thought they were heros.
That is fantastic that you had a first hand source of information that the rest of us can only read about. At the time of the Titanic he would have been a teenager, and at the time of Bonnie and Clyde he would have been in his 30s. More than old enough to have formed an educated opinion.
Besides frank wasn't any better he is only portrayed as better because he had a tin badge on. He was ruthless. Never could figure out the human mind and the way people think as if when a person puts on a suit and tie or a tin badge they suddenly become God's in people's eyes as if we aren't "all" human.
When going after tough and ruthless people one need someone with lot of experience and that dont quit . Hamer and the guys were the crew needed to set the people and counties at peace.
This is a fine podcast. The series on Frank Hamer was well told, meticulously researched, and should have something to offer to just about anybody who has any interest in the long and wild career of a legendary Texas Ranger.
When are we going to do a full movie of Frank and golf and Frank’s career from the beginning to the end of his life I think it would be a blockbuster movie and it needs to be done in honour of two great lawn in
I just found your channel and I love it Your dignified demeanor separates you from the wannabes and your narrative skills are fantastic thanks for all your hard work bill feilhauer .
Raymond Hamilton was actually more daring, successful and notorious in Texas at that time. Back in those days in small town Texas, people would tell their kids to be home before dark so Ray Hamilton won’t getcha! Raymond and Ralph Fults kidnapped my great uncle JC Loftice for his new Ford V8,, somewhere on the backroads of Colin county. They kept him for a few days driving around DFW, Raymond gave JC a BAR mag and an 06 round as a reminder to not lead a life of crime. My cousin has this now at home in Plano.
Both were present actually. Hamer was using a Remington Model 8. I think there was at least one other there. IIRC, Hinton had a Colt Monitor, which was just an improved version of the BAR. That gun is on display at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum.
Woody and Kevin were born to play those parts. The sheriff and his deputy near the end of the show were great. The guy who played ted was great. Every one gave something to the highway men.
The story-telling was very good, but marred a bit with Progressive takes on history. Frank Hamer was wise and principled in his low view of a woman governor, and being unwilling to work for her. The story-teller derided Mr Hamer as sexist for that. Women aren't cut-out to be good leaders, e.g., they tend to be too emotional in their thinking, weak with logical thinking, easily deceived and misled, etc. It's sad to see modern men being duped and emasculated by feminism.
@@johnbaugh2437 you must be a Progressive! The give away was your snarky reply, and your tone of intellectual and moral superiority. In all non-maternal activities, the top performers are all male, by far, eg, sports, chess, inventors, etc. The closest woman is far down the list of top performers. The same is true in political leadership.
@@jimisnotunique nope I’m actually pretty conservative politically. Women actually tend to be more ruthless and cunning. I liked Thatcher and loved Reagan. You think Nancy Pelosi isn’t cunning? Love her or hate her, she is pretty ruthless. I don’t like her myself, but women can be as ruthless, and plotting, just as well as men.
Let's get this right they ambushed and assassinated Bonnie and Clyde and I've had the fortune to date one of Clyde's relatives and it's all the same story Bonnie Parker never killed anybody they were a product of the times desperate people do desperate things they were modern-day Romeo and Juliet love story
As my grandpa and his dad always said, to hunt something evil the hunter has to be more evil. Bonnie and Clyde got what they deserved, may they dance in hell for their sins.

You are a great story teller.
Many thanks for choosing Frank Hamer, a Texas legend.

If u say so
Frank Hamer is my idea of a lawman. Honest, cunning, high integrity , fearless. A human cross between a bloodhound and pitbull

they still do. Look at our news, people who are POS are made into hero's
Life wouldn't be as entertaining if we didn't have the violence.
Besides frank wasn't any better he is only portrayed as better because he had a tin badge on. He was ruthless.

@@youaresomeone3413 we are screwed with out the frank Hamers of the world. Criminals would take over.
When going after tough and ruthless people one need someone with lot of experience and that dont quit . Hamer and the guys were the crew needed to set the people and counties at peace.
Still way to many laws rules and regulations in America
God bless Frank Hamer - Texas Ranger 🤠🇺🇸🙏🏻
God bless Bonnie and Clyde.
I only wish frank was alive to see the incredible legacy he left for us all enjoy.
Great podcasts , frank was some man !! We need a few Hamers around now
Excellent series, thank you!!
This is a fine podcast. The series on Frank Hamer was well told, meticulously researched, and should have something to offer to just about anybody who has any interest in the long and wild career of a legendary Texas Ranger.
I bet he could track down more people than Dog the Bounty Hunter
Honestly and integrity. So few people have it these days. Weather Frank agreed with the law or not, he always up held it.
Excellent series
Really enjoyed it. TY
We could use grit like this in our nation these days..
Nah we need more MEN in society
Yeah, we need more, actual men instead of horny manlets or socio/psychopaths.
Great story's! 👍
When are we going to do a full movie of Frank and golf and Frank’s career from the beginning to the end of his life I think it would be a blockbuster movie and it needs to be done in honour of two great lawn in
Never bcause B& C dominate his career
Public only interested in couple

HD (Holloway) Murphy, one of the motorcycle patrolmen, was my ancestor.
Denver pyle aka uncle Jessie off dukes of hazard played frank hamer in 1967 movie
They were Remington Model 8 rifles, made from a Browning patent, not the fully automatic BAR.
Both were present actually. Hamer was using a Remington Model 8. I think there was at least one other there. IIRC, Hinton had a Colt Monitor, which was just an improved version of the BAR. That gun is on display at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum.
The phots alone show their were definitely machine guns lol the car was riddled with bullets after only a few seconds they claim.
People idolizing criminals should be victims of criminals.
I don’t know. Does Bonnie and Clyde count as from the old west? They were around in the early 1900s.
4:40 BASED!
Frank hammer big mistake was because he phoned his boss the operator listed in and the town came out of nowhere.
Henderson Jordan, not Harrison ....!
In the film Bonnie and Clyde take Frank Hamer hostage in Missouri.
Hollywood
@@robertayoder2063 Absolutely.
Dude is a bullshitter, the criminals were not handed to Hamer, He was called in to track, and eliminate the couple.
Producer star Warren Beatyy wasnt impressed by Hamner.
This is his masterpiece
He meant he killed them like animals which makes them no better than tem
Woody and Kevin were born to play those parts. The sheriff and his deputy near the end of the show were great. The guy who played ted was great. Every one gave something to the highway men.
I would think that the Texas Rangers back then would have had all of the means necessary to "get rid" of the Fergusons.

This podcast mixes up and confuses events.
Frank Hamer didn't take Bonnie and Clyde like a real man they had to go low kidnap an old man to distract them than they ambushed them like cowards.
Why should murderers like Clyde and Bonnie have any chance whatsoever? They went down bloody like the innocent people they ruthlessly murdered.
@@tballstaedt7807 They didn't murder any innocent people. They killed 11 cops and 2 shopkeepers that shot at them they had to protect themselves
@@darrenkeefe3718 cops aren't innocent people? Really dude?
@@darrenkeefe3718 many of those cops were murdered in cold blood, not is fights
@@darrenkeefe3718 So when are you getting out? I hope not soon.
Let's get this right they ambushed and assassinated Bonnie and Clyde and I've had the fortune to date one of Clyde's relatives and it's all the same story Bonnie Parker never killed anybody they were a product of the times desperate people do desperate things they were modern-day Romeo and Juliet love story
Not by a longshot. They got what they deserved.
Bonnie and Clyde are dancing in Hell. No mercy given, no mercy received.
Stone cold killers that got their due
As my grandpa and his dad always said, to hunt something evil the hunter has to be more evil. Bonnie and Clyde got what they deserved, may they dance in hell for their sins.
The robbed places from Ottawa to Texas and killed 16 people,they got what they asked for
