A hero to those oppressed by the tyranny of a Republican Congress. A land where Democrats where not allowed. A government that took from the poor and gave to the rich, one man fought back. Robin Hood and his band of merry men, an outcast Democrat took arms against the injustice. Gave back to the people what few did hoard. The rich now hostile, the poor now able to get by. A hero of humanity, a Democrat.

villain is more of a moral term then a legal term. so in theory, robin hood took money from the rich who were stealing it, and gave it to the poor. he was by definition, a criminal, but not a villain

Since the rich were stealing from the poor, stealing back from them was heroic.

As someone else said, he may have been a criminal, but not a villain. Besides, some laws are made to be broken.

Hero

'Nuff Sed.

I presume that the warrant for those supporting the argument that Robin Hood was a villain is that making people causing people to suffer is wrong, and that their argument is "stealing makes people suffer, therefore Robin Hood's actions are wrong". Under that same warrant, my rebuttal is that the rich can end the poor's suffering by helping them, therefore by not helping they cause the poor to continue to suffer, thus making the rich the villains. Additionally, I propose that those Robin Hood stole from did not suffer from their loss, and therefore Robin Hood's actions were not wrong.

Hero, of course. Didn't he steal from the rich to give to the poor?

Robin Hood is a hero because of his compassion to rob from the rich and give to the poor.
