I cannot agree fully that bandits like Jesse James are glorified without reason. Yes, they are criminals and most of known outlaws have committed multiple murders, but they also represent the dark side of us all. Ned Kelly, Bonny and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd all affect our imagination because they had the courage to do the things we only fantasize about and also became famous, or rather infamous. As well as their usually tragic demise made them immortal icons of pop culture and folklore legends. We love criminals because they are always so cunning and steal from the system that all of us had problems with.
