Bandits and Outlaws

When we think of Bandits and Outlaws, we immediately think of fictional characters such as Robin Hood, for many a childhood hero. Someone that people looked up to after all he only stole from the rich right? However from the lecture I learned that this was not always the case, it was only their own community that bandits did not steal from. So it turns out that Robin Hood and other bandits were not exactly the good guys that the films and television programmes portray them as. It both shocks and amazes me that behaviour such as this has been glorified, when really these bandits and outlaws such as Ned Kelly and Jesse James are killers.

Here is a link to a website that tells you all about the notorious Australian Outlaw Ned Kelly.
