  The Bonnot Gang - E. Bertran
Bonnot had declared war on Society, his own war, and was causing enough trouble to call attention on himself.
Bonnot and Garnier, with some of their friends, were united and agreed on certain points as to their attitude and became suspect to the police, but to accuse the anarchist philosophy of being responsible for the crimes committed by them is both absurd and silly.
Bonnot, Garnier, and two others, Valet and Dubois, were killed in battle, dying with guns in their hands.

 The Truth about the Bonnot Gang - Ezra Brett Mell | libcom.org
They were "good guys" and the flics were "baddies" because the Parisians understood that when the chips were down, the Bonnot Gang was ultimately on their side and the police with their clubs would be on the other (even in time of war, even in time of foreign occupation).
Alas for the romanticists, Bonnot was no film hero (it was announced there would be a film, and so it is interesting to know what they make out of him!) Born in 1876, and 35 at the time of the meeting in Montmartre, he had an ordinary working class background.
If the undoubted popularity of the Bonnot Gang with the workers made it some time before the conclusion was reached, on the whole that conclusion, so far as the Anarchist movement was concerned, was hostile to the suggestion that criminality was any aid to the revolutionary movement.

 The Motor Bandits
In December, 1911, a loose gang of anarchist thieves, "illegalists" who rationalized their crimes as protest against property ("property is theft" said Proudhon, the French radical), launched the "Motor Bandits" with the theft of a Delaunay-Belleville from a wealthy residence.
A sympathetic biographer of the gang, Richard Parry, wrote, "The theft alone of such a car was, for the illegalists, a radically-conscious gesture." He also bragged that the robbery was the first of its kind.
Soon enough it was "whatever." Where the Bonnot Gang stole it for a wild, brief ride, popular culture seized the automobile forever from its exclusive hold by the rich.

 Jules bonnot
Caccuci shows Bonnot at this time of his life very much as a victim of circumstance and of his own inability to ignore the painfully obvious nature of the brutal environment he lived and worked in.
However, the illegalists were not prepared to wait out a lifetime for the proletariat to come round to their way of thinking, they were for living now, hoping that possibly they could light a spark of revolt that would set of something much larger.
Their raids drew such a response that the Police then mobilised their full resources to smash the gang and, whilst they were at it, engaged in widespread suppression of revolutionary activists and sympathisers.

Malet's book, however, quickly abandons its historical trappings to drill into the tortured psyche of one of the leaders of his Bonnot-like group in high, vulgar-Freudian style, and it is a precocious character piece which dissects the antisocial mind in sexual, social, sado-masochistic and occasionally hallucinatory dimensions.

To reject entirely the use of violence for political ends is to simultaneously reject significant episodes in the history of anarchist insurrection: not only the acts, for example, of Ravachol, Henry, and the Bonnot Gang, but also anarchist involvement in the Russian revolution and the Spanish civil war.
Many anarchists approve of insurrection as long as it is comfortably elsewhere in the country of the past or the countries on the peripheries of the dominant west, but are quick to disapprove when it rears its head uncomfortably on their own doorsteps.
Likewise, the surviving members of the Bonnot gang were sentenced as bank robbers and murderers, although their political beliefs were not officially on trial.
