It amazes, but not amuses me, how these thugs get glorified.
What is the attraction to someone who chooses to turn to a life of crime?
I suspect if the victims story could be heard there would be a different opinion of them.
It's an interesting story, not offended by your posting it, just another page of history. Just makes me wonder how some come to be legends for being evil.

I somewhat agree with you, but most of those celebrated thugs ultimately met their demise when common, ordinary citizens finally had their fill of it, banded together, and took care of the problem.

Thanks for the link UD. Haven't read about him in a long time. I enjoy history. It's too bad it's no longer studied. If it was you wouldn't be seeing the same corruption today that ruined his life way back then. I fear we are heading back to the same situation and the result will be no different. History always repeats itself.

A Thug???
That could be debatable.
Or a young kid pushed into a life of petty crimes because he was on the street with no family.
Then found himself in a range war where he was forced to avenge the killing of his surrogate father.

He was not forced into petty crime nor was he forced into killing, that was of his free will.

Makes one wonder how many modern day mass murderers do it hoping they to will become "legends".
And the mass media helps it become true.

So I'm thinking if you were on the streets as a young teen you would not steal to feed yourself.
And you would also sit on your hands if someone killed your surrogate father.
Now remember we are talking a range war in a time where there was no real law west of the pecos.

That was John Wesley Hardin that shot a man for snoring to loud.
Before you can judge someone you at least got to get the facts straight and quit relying on folklore.

That was John Wesley Hardin. That was claimed to have done that. If you dig for the truth. You find the real story. At least closer to the truth.
If you look at Bonnie and Clyde. There is no way Clyde drove that many miles in one night. On the roads they had back then.

The eastern newspapers and dime novels of the day made him famous.

And relying only on my memory, I think I read that John Wesley Hardin shot through a wall because someone in the adjoining room was snoring loudly. The snorer just happened to be in the wrong bed at the wrong time. But YMMV (your memory may vary).

I understand what you are saying, but then and now people, unless mentally ill, know right from wrong.

Same way pirates get glorified. My sister, a pastor's wife, made a pirate costume for her grandson and taught him to say "arrrggg" and shared pictures of him on facebook.
