    I live in Missouri and Jesse James is still glorified. You should do a story on that if you haven't already.

    Thank you, Brad, for sharing this story on Dillinger. My mother remembers when he was killed. Officer O'Malley should always be remembered, too, and I appreciate your mentioning him, as few others do.

    Without sending the percentage numbers off the scale, let me just say that yes, I totally agree with you, and have thought the same for my lifetime!
    The film industry doesn't seem to feel ANY moral obligation to benefit positive effects, rather they promote the worst of our nastiest possible actions. That is so wrong and has been for as long as they have been producing the trash that most everyone seems to demand.
    I truly believe that this episode is your best so far, Brad!
    Thank you so much!

    Hello Brad! I am so glad I found your video.
    I appreciate that you focused on Officer O'Malley. Dillinger stole very important money from regular folks like you and me, but he also stole that father from his 3 girls, and a husband from a loving wife.
    I used to enjoy listening to Mr Harvey on the radio. Thank you for bringing the story all the way home.

    Amen. A broken heart can seem like a tragic event in one's life but to let it lead to the depths that John Dillinger sank to is just horrendous. What's even more horrendous though is romanticizing his story and trying to blame his choices on that broken heart. There are multitudes of positive role models in the world that get ignored by Hollywood. There are a number of independent movie companies that are producing good, clean, and positive movies that, if they had more support from the public, could hopefully wake up the powers that be in Hollywood. It's up to us to choose the positive over the negative and send that message.

    I had a similar lost love affair when a girl's father told me that I wasn't good enuff for his daughter and that I wasn't to see her ever again. She minded her dad. I didn't turn to crime, I turned to the USMC (best decision I could have ever made) which "straightened me up, got out went to college and became an engineer.

    I so agree with you, Brad, about the necessity of positive role models for the children of the world. Hollywood does us no favor by romanticizing the life of a hoodlum. Thanks to your fact digging, William Patrick O'Malley shall not be forgotten. RIP, sir.

    Great video. Brad. The movie you should look up is "Dillinger" (1973). It is a better movie than the one you talked about. It had Warren Oats as Dillinger and Ben Johnson as Melvin Purvis. Purvis was the FBI agent that set up Dillinger. So much I could tell you about this story. The whore that set Dillinger up wanted to stay in the USA, she was sent back to her country. The reason, the banks were robbed (not a good reason) it was the great depression era. Banks were foreclosing on anyone that could not pay their mortgage. when someone robbed a bank, the people that lost everything saw the robbers as Heros. Maybe they thought they were like Robin Hood. But as you sort of pointed out, they were nothing but thieves and killers working for themselves. That's probably why so many people came to see Dillinger after he was dead. BTW a few years later Purvis shot himself, with the same gun he had killed Dillinger. Ok I'll stop. Again, great video, and info. Keep them coming Brad.

      The FDIC was created in 1933 while Franklin Roosevelt was president to insure the money held at banks. It probably took a while for all of it to get worked out. You're right. Depositors lost their money. :)
