Yes, they finally got killed in the end, but not before we got to see their "love story" portrayed.

When it comes criminals like Billy the Kid, Bonnie & Clyde, Al Capone, and oddly even Charles Manson - the white criminal has been idolized in pop culture. The imagery that is created is designed to promote a complete disconnect between their historical reality and the fantasy that is pushed that underscores their exploits as being part of "the American Way"... something that is awe-inspiring and to be admired.

And if they were black, we'd be reading about how they'd been slain while threatening police.
Funny ol' world.

The girl's father said in an earlier interview that the gun was for shooting deer, as the kids planned to "live off the land". Kids do the craziest things.
