OCM Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 There was always some speculation on this, loved the guy that played Winstead in Public Enemies. ( see him in Avatar too)The Frank Hamer of the Dillinger world- OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCM Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) What about him ?? Edited June 26, 2016 by OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrylta Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Sandy,Wasn't JD killed by a bullet to the back of his head. That doesn't sound like a heroic taskin my opinion, just opportunistic .Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim c 351 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Darryl,It was heroic to go up against a person with JHD,s reputation. Dillinger made the decision to run rather than turn and shoot it out. No one, including JHD, knew what he would do next. One way or the other, JHD was going down.What about Clarence Hurt???Jim C Edited May 31, 2016 by jim c 351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 But.......was it really John that he shot? Some say yes, others say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCM Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I believe it's mostly agreed on, that Winstead fired the fatal shot which entered his neck and came out under his right eye- the Fatal shot. The other wounds were not fatal shots, so I've heard.Like Clyde & Bonnie, Baby Face Nelson and the rest, Dillinger had to be stopped.

OCM Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I've heard the story John wasn't shot, "Dillinger dead or Alive" by J. Robert Nash, tell that story, an old interesting book.However, I have a photo of the police taking fingerprints on John's body , just after it arrived at Cook County morgue, or maybe even before. It on a gurney still fully clothed. I always thought it'd be great if a 93 year old John Dillinger ( with proof ) showed up in a Indiana nursing home...Mr. Dillinger what was the Little Bo battle like ? " WHAT ? " Mr. Dillinger how long did it take you at Crown Point ? " WHAT ? " Mr. Dillinger what was Billie Frechette like ? " WHO ? " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostsoldier Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yeah, Sandy...that would be actor Stephen Lang. He was also really good in Michael Mann's 1980's period TV series "Crime Story", which is an awesome TV show. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCM Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Larry Wack's web page has a photo of Winstead in 1970, under FBI agents 1930s. Edited June 22, 2016 by OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
