Bandits and Outlaws.....


Bandits and outlaws are literally people that "live outside of the law." A few examples i can think of are Robin Hood, John Dillinger, Jesse James and Bonnie and Clyde.

Fair enough a couple of these peple (Robin Hood and Jesse James) actually used to steal from the ric to give to the poor people and people worse off than themselves but does this make their law breaking right? Honestly i dont think so. Even though they are trying to help other people they are hurting others in doing so and i dont think doing something good cancels out something they did which was wrong.

One thing i did notice is that all these bandits and outlaws have either been televised or made into a movie; why is this? Do people find this life interesting? Do they wish they could live their lives outside of the law? Or do people just want to know more about them?
Are bandits and outlaws really bad people? For example Robin Hood, even though he stole from people, was doing it for a good reason but does this make it right? Personally i think not.
