The judge concluded the sentence for execution with the traditional "May God have mercy on your soul" and Kelly, in typical Australian fashion, replied something like "I'll do you one better--I'll see you in Hell." The judge died of a pulmonary edema two weeks after Kelly was hanged.

He actually said 'I will go a little further than that, and say I will see you there when I go.' The judge was Redmond Barry. He'd come to Melbourne from Ireland as a young man. As a lawyer, he acted pro bono for Aboriginal defendants. He played a major role in setting up the University of Melbourne, Royal Melbourne Hospital and the State Library of Victoria (there's a statue of him outside the SLV). He also had four children with Mrs Barrow - out of wedlock, but no-one seemed to mind. Ever get the feeling that Ned Kelly was an Irish mother's boy who probably died a virgin? That's not to say the police were perfect - a Royal Commission (investigation) into the 'Kelly Outbreak' in 1881 led to wide-ranging reforms of the Victoria Police.

neeneko You would hope Australia itself has learnt this lesson too. And perhaps it has, perhaps it hasn't. Dubious things still happen here, but I struggle to think of anything on that kind of scale. Certainly nothing that would push someone who tried as hard as Ned to do the right thing. Of course, Ned Kelly is OUR history, so it stands to reason that his story has impacted both the government and the culture in the long run, But... Yeah, pushing people to breaking point is not a good idea... Nor are harsh punishments honestly, or laws based around revenge. But it's difficult to get enough people to understand and accept that to actually follow through on what it implies... So... Such is life indeed huh.

[@ElBandito]

The armor was already over 40 kilograms of weight. Adding more just means you will tire yourself out that much sooner.

[@NoeLPZC]

40kg is nothing if the weight is distributed properly across your whole body. Marines typically carry that much day to day. He may not have had enough iron or time to make greaves and gauntlets, or maybe he just lacked the skill to fashion more intricate armour (the armour he did make was pretty rudimentary).

I am trying my best, but I can't see how Ned was a bad guy. he actually seems like an awesome guy who was bent too much nu the law. his story should not be one of illegality but of rebellion.

[@TheIbney00]

karel vansteenhuyse he's not a bad guy, he just did some bad things. His heart was always in the right place, but you gotta remember he was stealing money that wasn't his, and killing people who were doing their jobs. Regardless of their corruptness, the police were still people. It's easy to just see them as faceless but at the end of he day, these people had lived as well. I don't hate Ned and his actions brought about much change in the coming months after this story, but to say he was 100% in the right is kinda crazy

[@SantomPh]

it is easy to romanticize Ned Kelly, but he also committed actual crime and robbed actual honest people alongside his "noble" exploits.

[@karelvansteenhuyse3522]

Ibney00 I am not saying he was 100 percent right. the stealing is no argument because the people from who he stole were theifs themselves who had made his live way harder. he made it easier for the common man to survive by burning dept. the whole policeman thing is indeed not that good, but the police were corrupt coward though and he didn't kill when he didn't need to. only in the last part he did that, but only because the police had wronged him too much. I see why he did it so honestly, he was a good man.

[@timothymclean]

+Ibney00 What measure to we judge a guy as bad, save by his actions?

[@digitalbrentable]

Ned Kelly challenged the injustice of British colonial rule that discriminated against him and many others. That he explicitly targeted the ruling class, whilst enjoying wide popularity with other working class Australians, makes him a political figure; a rebel, not a criminal. If he wasn't sold out by some forgotten coward of a snitch, he'd have gone on to lead a full scale rebellion, even bigger than the Eureka rebellion in those parts years prior. What else is killing a train-full of colonial troopers than an act of war?

[@mehhhhist]

For those saying Ned's story should be made into a movie, it already has dozens of times, including 'Ned Kelly' (2003) starring Heath Ledger as Ned. Oh, and the world's first(!) feature film, 'The Story of the Kelly Gang' (1906).

If only he wasn't sold out, he might have gone on to lead a full scale rebellion, such as the one at Eureka years earlier, perhaps bigger.

I'm sure 95% of Australians know about Ned Kelly, therefore making him an icon. And certainly the majority of Australians do not consider him just a criminal. The debate is whether or not he is merely a criminal, but certainly the very fact he gets so much attention is proof he is remembered as more than just a criminal.

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

ShaunDoesMusic Assuming the 'legal highs' bill does what it sounds like from that context and bans or limits legal highs, I think that is a good thing. A lot of them are much more dangerous than weed is. Probably the best argument that you could give a Tory for legalising weed (which I agree should at least be legalised for medicine if not for personal use, and I've never even used it) is that they could put it in the same tax category as tobacco and make a mint on it. Even though Holland is a very different culture, I look at the way they legalised a lot of things, made therapy instead of prison the punishment for addicts, made it neccessary to have a Dutch passport or citizen ID to buy any, and have a much, much lower rate of drug crime or addiction than most other countries because of it. Seeing as the worst damage long term weed use can cause is paranoia, which is hardly worse than smoking tobacco and giving yourself and those near you lung cancer, I think it should be legalised IMO. As long as they don't put it in vape pens. God I hate vape pens, and the twats who use them in the street 6 inches from other people's faces. I'm assuming from your use of 'Tory' that you're British, and we really shouldn'y be surprised that the Tories don't care about democracy - the last two elections, they got into power with much less than half the votes, and Theresa May was elected into power purely by the will of the 140,000 odd registered Tories. The majority of the country gets shafted by the aristocrstic nobs oncs again. Of course they don't care about democracy, they don't even live in one.

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

Decriminalisation, and sending addicts to therapy and rehab instead of prison would likely solve much of our drug problem. Not all of it mind, but it had been proven as a more effective deterrant (and treatment) than imprisonment. I definitely agree about the outright contempt the current -and several previous - governments have shown to the British public. Right now it is especially true - polls showed that staying in the single market was a preference even among the majority of Leave voters, so Theresa May is pushing for a 'Hard Brexit' merely to satiate the far right vocal minority of her own party. She cares about democracy and the will of the people as much as that statement makes it sound like, i.e., not at all. I wouldn't be quick to vote in Corbyn instead - at best, I'd describe him as the least worst, as he has shown a remarkable ignorance on several matters of import and made repeated public blunders that he could easily have avoided. Politics is supposed to be the left and right negotiating and comprimising to find a middle ground that pleases the majority. Do you remember a time when politicians were willing to negotiate and comprimise? It's become about backstabbing, back room deals, fear mongering, and extreme far right or far left views, leaving the silent majority stuck in the centre suffering the vagaries and whims of whatever flavour of maniac is in power at the moment. You saw it all the time in the Brexit referendum - people were split between 'retards who hate Britain and want to let the EU run the country and let the entirety of Eastern Europe move to Cheltenham' or 'bigots and racists who f'd up the future for the next generation because they hate anyone who isn't a white upper class Englishman'. *Sigh* Tl;dr, politics is a soul destroying thing to care about at the moment.

Well done! I have often been to the Kelly Museum in Glenrowan on many a school excursion as I grew up in the area. We in Australia often feel forgotten so there is a pang of pride when the story of a local legend is told so well. Australian history is littered with anti authority stories that are celebrated such as 'The Eureka Stockade Rebellion' 'The Bounty' and the 'Rum Rebellion' to name a few. I suppose that's what you get from a penal colony.

Simon Garner Ned Kelly was never a legend or a hero. He was just a vicious criminal.

[@fishmanmenace]

@@samsabastian5560 vicious, meaning "deliberately cruel", does not fit ned kelly. he was a criminal, absolutely, but certainly not cruel. his hostages showed us that time and time again.

[@samsabastian5560]

@@fishmanmenace He WAS deliberately cruel. At Faithfull Creek Station, when a man stood up to Kelly, he placed the barrel of his revolver into his mouth and threatened to shoot him if he did not obey. He threatened Mrs Devine, the police officer's wife, at Jerilderie, threatening to murder her and her three children if she did not obey him. She suffered mentally for the rest of her life. At Stringybark Creek, after chasing Sgt Kennedy through the bush for some 800 metres, wounding him and then questioning him for about 2 hours, he put a shotgun to the sergeants chest and pulled the trigger. Kennedy had pleaded with Kelly to leave him alone, as his wife was pregnant, and he had five young children. Kennedy was not badly wounded, as he was standing upright when Kelly murdered him. That WAS deliberately cruel.

[@leothewhiteranger]

The thing to always remember is what was said at the start. Ned Kelly is seen by many as a hero, and just as equally by others as a villain. He is a divisive figure who some people STILL debate, as his tale is young enough that tales have been passed down by the families of those who met him or lost people because of his gang both. To my mind, he's not a hero or a villain, but a man driven to an extreme by the harshness of his surroundings. Who for good and for ill embodied the colonial Australian. And who would insist that everyone be allowed to make their own judgement based.
