Join the new world

Thank You! Aussies have bent sense of humour? nooooooooo you´re joking right? 😛 ; ) Charming people you are as the examples you shown...

Incidentally The BenHall - Frank Gardiner Gang which Ben Hall took over after Gardiner left to retire (got shot by police later) and included the dreaded "Flash" Johnny Gilbert is the most successful outlaw gang in the world in the entire world in the 19th Century. The amount of gold and cash they stole at gunpoint and the sheer hundreds of robberies they made in less than a decade. They avoided capture for most of a decade. The amount of gold and money they stole in the gangs career is more than what Ned Kelly's gang, Billy the Kid, The Jesse James Gang and the Dalton brothers combined. Fact.

One of those pics looks like a famous Finnish actor and inventor Spede Pasanen who has passed away. So below him must be Ned Kelly 😃 .

lol, no it's Mick Jagger who played as Ned in the film

So it is 😃 no wonder the face was familiar!

Ned Kelly was a murderer and a villain. I am so sick and tired of Australians who jump on the wagon and claim him to be some sort of hero. No. A murder. A cop killer. Nothing more. Nothing less. A stain on our history that should be vilified not idolised.

I agree mate, all of those guys up there were murderers, Ben Hall is said to have never killed anyone, he just got evil Johnny Gilbert and that other thus whose name I can't remember, John Dunn I think, yeah I am sure thats him. If Hall never killed anyone then he was the worst shot in outlaw history,

................. He is known to have severely wounded well over a dozen people most police. Ehen they robbed the Forbes coach for the world record gold robbery of 14000 pounds which is equal to man millions today, they fired so many bullets into the coach that only a miracle saved them from death, but they were badly wounded. Hall's only saving grace was that he stopped Gilbert from executing a very young lady on one occasion.
........................... Ned Kelly was a pure killerjust read the facts. As for Sqizzy, now there was a pure evil little rat if ever there was one. As for the razor gangs, they were the most seriously depraved criminals we have ever had here.

wow are you serious? Ned was awesome. The Cops were corrupt and the Government was sick and vile. There is a reason he has legend status.

The story you are told is myth and a big lie, just read what the police side of the story is.. Fitzpatrick's description of Ned was of a savage and lets face it, he was a cold blooded killer. The people who tried to make him into a hero was his large criminal family. Even Ned's mother was a pretty horrible criminal woman. You never get told the story of many of Ned's victims.. if he didnt know you he stole evry bit of money you had.. you could starve to death in those days without cash. It is not just the police he terrorised.. Beware of the lies coming from the criminal side.

So the story we are told by the Colonial Authorities paints a certain picture.... wait, these are the same guys who are responsible for so many aboriginal atrocities? Always be careful with history Greg, it's written by the winners. Do you realise if Hitler had won the holocaust would be fully justified.
I am not saying Ned was a nice guy, the guy was a bastard but it would be foolish to simply read the history books and make a judgement from those. Cause and Effect drives people and even the worst villian does not consider himself evil, simply doing what he must for him and his family to survive.

The police forced that upon Neds family causing him and his family to go against the law! Ned did not want to kill the police but he was doing it for his familys sake!

Murder is murder. No one deserves it. Ned's family were largely criminals. They brought it on themselves.

I beleive you are wrong flatty!!, you simply just havent seen it from all angles!

The concept of the Kelly "bushranger" pre-dated their status as what you refer to as 'criminal'. Bushrangers were largely self-sufficient, nomadic clans who lived off the land. It was their free spirit that originally drew the ire of the law as they didn't pay taxes, nor subscribed to the white picket fence colonialist ideal. One act begat another until it created a turning point of rebellion against the institution that hunted them. One could well argue initial circumstance drew them to crime and hatred of the police for how they were treated.

I wish these blokes in those photos could pay these Chileans a visit in the middle of the night, we had criminals and thieves but all of eChile are those things.

lol

I would like to grab one and show the Chilean what I think of gutless people

I'm actually related to Ben Hall. 🙂

Ben wasn't good at finding the right friends, well they were perfect for bushrangers, in fact as far as that went for them they were certainly the best outlaws of them all, bigger than Ned Kelly and Jesse James as far as the sheer amount of money they got from robberies and also for simply robbing more people than all of them.
Ben was attracted to rogues, his claims that he was not involved in the spectacular robberies made by the king of the rogues, Frank Gardiner but he was, he was at Eugowra and other ones. Gardiner influenced Ben heavily and the other two big names in the gang, Gilbert and Dunn were real born killers, Gilbert shot a policeman in cold blood right in front of the mans littel son, Gilbert also murdered others and tried to kill more but thankfully most survived their wounds, Dunn was also the type to shoot first.
You can sure say one thing mate, your relo was the king. I also had a rather notorious convict ancestor from Ireland.

haha nice 😃

Need to go another century. Needs Mick Gatto and the Carlton Crew!

Its Under Belly all over again!!!

There you go Aussies. Now this is something you can still relate to till this day. Just walk outside and you'll see crooks and thief's.

Only difference between there century and this century, you idolize them, as where now we call them junkies.

PS. I love how you guys talk about them like you knew them or something.

how are australians law abiding? there all convicts

No they aren't, they're just all related to convicts.

What is an 'Australian'? 225 years post-colonisation one who is born here or migrated here as a first generation is an 'Australian'. It's very much like latter day Canada or the United States. A country made of many peoples from around the world. Not all of Australia's population derives from the ancestry of its first settlers. The greater crime is Captain James Cook and his crew saw First Australians (the modern term for the Aboriginal people) as they entered Botany Bay, yet bizarrely Arthur Phillip declared it to be terra nullius. The British were famous for degrading their black populations after all, as they downplayed it in the US Constitution as well by describing a negro as 'three-fifths' of a man.

In America, a black was three-fifths of a man
In Australia, they closed their eyes and pretended there were none there
(.. despite the abuse, rape and slaughter of innocent men, women and children)

Nothing to scoff about in the least when referencing these horrendous crimes. Least of which to the Native American people and the First Australians who continue to fight for their rights today.

Umm actually like 75% of Australians where convicts send from the UK among other places. The first police officer on the island of Australia was a convict.

is australia ready for more Convicts? we are getting full here in the UK and dont want anymore.
