    Infamous villans the likes of Machine gun Kelly , Pretty bow Floyd, and Baby face Nelson show how hard , mean and desperate you have to be to earn the title of Public enemy.

Special thanks to guest speakers sharing personal information pertaining to Uncle Lester's criminal activities. I would say that he was a disillusioned trigger happy ☺ maniac 😵. It's said that his beloved wife 60 years after he died😇. She was laid besides him in St. John's cemetery in Chicago. She must have thought the world 🌎 of Uncle Lester. After all those years to be laid to rest besides him. Every # 1 most wanted gangster needs a loyal/faithful companion like Helen. 😉

    From 34-36, look up how many criminals were killed in 'shootouts' with the FBI. That's because hoover gave his men the instructions to kill on sight. Look how they bushwhacked Dillinger..My g-g uncle was called by hoover "the meanest man I ever knew", and he was the first man hanged under the federal law where killing a G man was a capital offense. When the feds came looking for him, they told his cousin they were looking to kill him..and so he shot first and killed one.

    I think Baby Face Nelson was probably more of a Joe Pesci sort of guy, but much crazier. I hear him laughing while he's shooting. All due respect to the actor, he's channeling Capone, but Capone had to actually let Nelson go from their gang because he was too violent.
