The main difference between dillinger and nelson was this. Dillinger wasn't a fan of unnessecary violence
@parkependleton6453 Says:
He was NOT a Nelson.
@jimbill9913 Says:
My grandpappy was bitch-slapped by Baby Face Nelson.
@VladDeFietser Says:
So his parents were from Louvain, eh? Gillis family? That makes little Lester genetically Flemish. Who'd've thought..? 🤔

@jordanwood183 Says:
There’s an interesting portrayal of an Irish American gangster in the TV series Peaky Blinders that shared the last name Nelson, & I can’t help but imagine that the fictional character is loosely based on Baby Face Nelson. The character is called Jack Nelson.

@Coach_Marcy Says:
My great aunt used to call my dad babyface Nelson 😂😂😂 he wasn’t a killer but he was a petty crime enthusiast with a baby’s face 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@andreedowns4561 Says:
I'm sure ..charity played a part 😮?
@amandabrand4065 Says:
Never heard this channel, and it starts off with an irrelevant add. Thanks.
@scocon8658 Says:
Is it possible Lester Nelson changed his name to George since a shortened (oh, the irony!) version of "Lester" sounds like "less?"
@lorddrayvon1426 Says:
To anyone wondering why John Paul Chase didn’t meet the gas chamber, the jury found him guilty but declined to impose the death penalty. Under California law, the judge cannot cast a death sentence if the jury refuses it so he got life. Fun fact; he was also the first guy ever sent directly to Alcatraz where he served his 32 years.
@Adrian-cg3my Says:
As a man whos close to 35 that hair loss ad could not ring more true 😂 😂
@nickjohnson6895 Says:
I grew up in Barrington and the shoot out went down in what is now the park district parking lot. It is one of our big claims to fame haha
@emmanuelmastroti5239 Says:

My son shaves his head. He likes it. Says it beats the receding hairline. He's 35. 😊 Just saying about the ad. 😊
@joegillis6358 Says:
he’s my great uncle
@briandoss9232 Says:
We touched briefly on him during our unit about the 20s and 30s in history class.
@aprilgosa5779 Says:
He hated that name Baby Face or so I read . He didn't think it was a tough bad guy name
@georgeacethomas4145 Says:
“Damn, we’re in a tight spot!”
@chrisuminski6037 Says:
I love this channel but I'd be lying if I said O didn't click on this video only to read the "O Brother Where Art Thou" comments
@meghanmisaliar Says:
How about do AGATHA CHRISTIE or STEPHEN KING?
@DrDolan2000 Says:
Interesingly, in the movie O, Brother Where Art Thou?, George makes an appearance; but he's treated as a little more of sympathetic character
When referenced as "Babyface" in the bank, you can see that it really hurts him instead of just angering him. I actually felt kind of bad for him
The real life Nelson, however, I don't feel much sympathy for. I wish the reformery school had helped, but he made his choice
@comettamer Says:
Oh I'm a gangster in 1934
Junkies, winos, pimps and whores

@bmw328i8 Says:
Heard he was a friend of big Dan “toot court” 😂
@blueduck5589 Says:
You gotta read the book "Baby Face Nelson; Portrait of a Public Enemy" by Steven Nickel & William J. Helmer. It'll give you a complete and unlike this Youtube bio, an unbiased view of the gangster and his family.
@edwardsullivan8041 Says:
He's buried at St. Joseph Cemetery...
A block away from my house..
In Elmwood Park, Illinois a NW Chicago suburb..
Do you guys want a photo of the Tombstone and Grave Site...?

@jeffmosser3803 Says:

@DerBingle1 Says:
He got his nickname from a witness who told police he “had a baby face.” Then the hit “Baby Face” was written with this being the inspiration for it. The song became a huge hit, and we still know it, and Baby Face Nelson to this day.
