Bandits and Outlaws

Bandits and Outlaws can be called gangsters, crooks, gunslingers and desperados. An outlaw or bandits is a person living the lifestyle of outlawry; the word literally means "outside the law" In English common law, an outlaw was a person who had defied the laws of the realm, by such acts as ignoring a summons to court, or fleeing instead of appearing to plead when charged with a crime. Outlaws have become fictional characters. There has been a few movies about outlaws, the ones I know about are Jesse James and Robin Hood.

Robin hood:
He is a heroic outlaw in English folklane. A highly skilled archer and swords man, he was always know as the man wh0 robbed from the rich to give to the poor. He worked with a group of outlaws known to him as the "Merry Men"

Jesse James:
He was a modren day Robin Hood because it was said that he robbed from the rich to give to the poor however people described him as a kind man, a dapper dresser and a prankish charmer but he was also called a cold-blooded murderer, robber, horse thief, racist and a terrorist. He and his gang were very dangerous men.

Are these people right? Yes and No if these people are helping the poor and giving them money to basically live then they are good people but when they are taking from the rich and killing people like Jesse James i think it is wrong!! How are they helping others by taking from them? I understand why there do it but is it fair to kill people over money? No.
