After conducting some basic research, it would appear that Ned was a product of his environment, therefore being clasified as a victim of circumstance. Had Ned grown up in a wealthy family, he may have been crafty enough to create businesses and become an honest and respected figure in society. Therefore, I would say Ned Kelly was a victim of circumstance.

I'm a little tired and lazy at the moment, so I will just paste a previous argument I made relevant to this debate. I hope my points in this argument will be disputed this time;

I find him more of a victim than a villain. In his early years, he saved a young boy from drowning. Later on in his life, his friend had lent him a horse which was in fact stolen without Kelly's knowledge. This had got him unjustly arrested for a few years. Also, some say when Ned had murdered 3 cops it was mainly for self defense, as they came to him with guns and allegedly shot at him first...

Also, people had made up most of his crimes, and even made up things about his mother, which led to his innocent mother's arrest. You can't really blame him from rebelling against the law and such; he was the son of Irish convicts who obviously despised the English.

I have done my research and come to a conclusion!! Ned Kelly Was A VICTIM!!!!

I think ned is a villain because one he was a theft and also got sent to jail

ned is not a hero one because he stole and was sent to jail

ned is not a victim one because he stole and was sent to jail

hey buddys I think ned Kelly was a villianheiuf u eg hhg j h b hb b

I think Ned Kelly is a victim because first of all Constable Hall said that he would have the pleasure of shooting Ned dead. He was accused for stealing a horse that he didn't even steal also he got unfair sentences, which was 3 years for riding a horse that was stolen, and the guy whole actually stole it got 18 months in jail. its funny though because Ned got

3 years jail and the guy who stole the horse got 18 months, that is totally not fair. He also

saved a young boy from drowning. This is why i think Ned Kelly is a victim.

I have done research and Ned Kelly is a victim!!! he had to kill in self defence. he was tormented by police.

Constable Hall shouted “I’m arresting you, for stealing this horse”, Ned did not know that the horse was stolen, the man who stole the horse was Wild Wright, and Ned was in jail when the horse was stolen, I think it’s unfair that the person that actually stole the horse went to jail for eight months meanwhile Ned went to three years hard labour. Constable hall yelled “I have the pleasure of shooting you dead”, Ned was shocked more shocked then he will ever be.

Ned Kelly was gay 8==================================================================

didn'td Kelly didn’t have a positive role model or a normal childhood. As a young boy, he and his family were constantly targeted by the police and squatters for being poor and a Kelly. Ned Kelly had little money, food and water for his family, cattle and himself but still managed to pull it off and become the well-knownbush rangerr his is today. His father, Red Kelly was very rarely sober and spent some time in jail and doing hard labour for stealing pigs and cattle which left the role of the father empty. Being the oldest boy, Ned Kelly fit the job. He was the man of the house for 30 odd years.

Ned Kelly and his family are Victims

Ned Kelly, a 'Ruthless', 'Murderous' Villain, but people who label him as that don't know who he really is. Edward 'Ned' Kelly, a bushranger born in 1854 that was innocent until he became head of his house, but if your family was suffering and you lost your father as a child, would you have done the same thing that Ned did?

Ned Kelly lost his father at the age of 12 and became the head of his house because he was the eldest son, and he had led himself to do bad things so his family could survive and did some other kind things. Ned Kelly was also wronged and imprisoned for stuff he didn't even do, which he couldn't plead not guilty because it sounded like some stuff he would do.

What if Ned Kelly never did that stuff? Australia wouldn't have such an exciting linage, But then again, he killed people and robbed banks, stole and many more, But that doesn't define him as a person himself. Ned Kelly could've been a compassionate man, or a gloomy man, but he threw away all his chances to discover things, just to look after his family.

Yes Ned Kelly is a victim because he was abused, often targeted and mistreated because of his family's name. On top of that he got abused because he told the truth in court. And he was also wrongly accused of snitching on Harry Powers but it was actually his uncle and everyone called him a snitch. Also his family was harassed by the drunk corrupted Constable Fitzpatrick and speaking of Fitzpatrick he also sexually harassed Ned's sister. So I don't know how he isn't a victim.
