Famous Bandit.
There are many stories of bandits, there are the good, (if you think it was good to rob from the rich, as maybe they were only rich through immoral earnings), or ones who rob form the rich and give to the poor (such as the very famous ROBIN hood). There are some who rob from the rich and keep it for themselves.
Legend outlaw Jessee James was one of those in the James - Young gang who was supposed to have robbed from the rich and give to the poor. But research shows that he and his gang only distributed the riches they stole amongst the gang where only they had flourished.
Jesse James grew up during the time of the time of the civil war. He derived from a broken home, his father who was an intelligent minister died when he was two and his mother married twice by the time he was 8 years old.
After the civil war many places were destroyed, he tried to help restore his family financially by robbing banks with the James - Young gang along with his brother. Many banks had foreclosed on land owners who could not pay their mortgages during the war years. Jesse James was reported to be the brains behind the bank robberies and identified himself with each of the banks before taking an interest in the money behind the counter.
His pledge to robbing banks cannot justify it being imprudent. It is also dangerous and unhealthy as people had lost their lives and immoral as people should earn their money regardless of having a bad start in life.
