Bandits & Outlaws


Bandits and outlaws are defined as people living outside the law.
Bandits such as Robin Hood, are looked upon as heroes rather then a villian, just because they take from the wealthy and give to the poor, yet they are still not following the rules of the law, just because you dont agree with something does not mean you have the right to do what you like. You have to live within the constraints of the law i believe, if we dont then things will not work out properly even though they may be doing good.
Villains can easily be seen as heroes, if they do something for the, 'good, but doing one good deed for the poor/ill or needy, does not mean you are a hero.
Its like saying someone in todays society who does robbery's, speeds etc, who then gives £10 to someone whos living on the street, this in no way does this make them a hero, one good deed doesn't out do the negatives. I think it is immoral to give praise to those who do bad things, just for doing on good thing. Many people can do good, caring and loving things throughout their life and never be thanked, rewarded or anything, but suddenly a bandit/outlaw does something good and they get praised. Similar to people when they come out of jail, they come out and they do something good and get rewarded, i dont understand why?!

This website discusses "Phoolan Devis who was shot in Delhi, Ms Devi, who renounced crime and became an MP of the lower-caste Samajwadi Party in 1997, after 11 years in jail, was shot dead outside her Raj-era bungalow last Wednesday. A man known to her, Sher Singh Rana, confessed to the killing, and two alleged accomplices have been arrested"
