"While it’s possible that all of the attackers were, indeed, immigrants or asylum-seekers, the everyday atmosphere in Cologne (and other German cities) might suggest otherwise. One activist told German news outlet Deutsche Welle that women have been putting up with street harassment and sexual assaults since long before the refugee crisis began: “Because refugees are now a burning topic, the media all of a sudden report about these events, but what nobody wants to admit is that these things happen all the time.

Yeah, Ned Kelly was harrassed his whole life by rich land owners, and corrupt officials, in my opinion, Ned Kelly was a working man who's had enough. He was a criminal there is no denying that, but only when all other avenues in life were blocked by the corrupt. A man can only get stepped on so many times before he steps back, at least that's my opinion.

And this is why you don't push a normally good person until they runs out of options, because at some point, they will snap and things will go VERY VERY VERY bad for everyone involved. Because someone who has always leaned bad will gloat and flaunt and eventually get caught or betrayed. A good man turned bad is a lot less likely to end up like that.

[@KuraIthys]

Yeah, Ned Kelly in Australia is almost always treated as a heroic figure, or at best told in a somewhat balanced manner. Very few cast him as an outright villain. Robin hood is an apt comparison in terms of legend. I wouldn't say Ned Kelly had any of the grandiose noble aims that are attributed to Robin Hood, but it's more in how the stories are told, rather than the details that makes them seem like similar figures.

So a bit of background about what's going on here. Why are they such jerks to the Kelly's (aside from the fact they're poor)? Because at this time in Britain and her colonies there's this belief that criminality isn't a choice as much as it's natural and instinctive, you inherit it from your parents. Here's Ned Kelly son of that thief Red, right? Makes sense that he's a thief too, or at least in this view. In fact so prevalent is this belief it's one of the reasons they colonized Australia, they wanted a place to ship all these criminals away from Britain to clean up the gene pool so to say. It's better than killing them outright right?

[@GallowglassAxe]

This is very true even today. Where a person out of jail tries to live an honest life but with his criminal record he can't find work and if he did its hardly sustainable. So in order to survive they have to go back to their life of crime. The only ones I know that have beaten this catch 22 were people with a very good skill (e.g. electrician) set and even then they have to work much harder in order to keep their job.

[@Osteichthyes]

Yes. Does it make them a bad person? That is the difficult question.

[@Soleil_de_Helturel]

You want to know what a bad person looks like? look at someone when they both have power, and when they have none, and see what they do in both situations. Take into account the situations and culture they find themselves in before judging actions. If you ask me Ned Kelly broke under the weight of an unjust system and did some horrible things as a result, but at least managed to maintain some dignity towards the end from what little I've read. Ned Kelly was no hero, but under the circumstances I can't judge him as being a "bad" person.

[@samsabastian5560]

Drecon84 Where did you dream up that fiction. Ned Kelly with his thieving of poor settlers horses lived the high life.

[@AussieVR4]

This is very well researched. I look forward t the next episode. People often wonder why we Australians admire Ned Kelly a known "criminal" It's not his actions as a criminal but the hardships he went through even though he tried to do the right thing. Much like the french revolution there is only so much shit people can take while the rich play their games.

A question since I wanted to support Extra Credits on Patreon. There's this line about suggesting a historical character: "Tell us what historical period or person we should make a future series about! (Must be 1920s or earlier.)". Are people who were mostly active in the 1910's and the 1920's but also had some part to play in the 1930's eligible?

[@Jorlem25]

I'm pretty sure that is there mainly to keep them from getting bombarded with suggestions regarding WWII and later.

[@moarice509]

I'm asking mostly because the person I wanted to suggest (Marshall Joseph Pilsudski) died in 1935, and I'm not sure if he's eligible.

[@classict.j.1311]

Justice, what's that?

[@hatandbeardmedia5925]

A couple of points (minor ones). You didn't include the part where Ned meets up with Wild Wright (who stole the horse that landed him in prison) and had a 21 round bare-knuckle boxing match with him and won (the two became friends afterwards). Additionally Ned didn't work as a blacksmith, he was a "treefeller" (another word for lumberjack) and was actually very successful at it. He also worked for a time as a bricklayer and the overseer at a sawmill. Not major stuff as you can see, but just little touches that help shape Ned's character in this period of his life. Otherwise I'm loving this series!

Do you have resources for these Extra History episodes? I'd love to use some of them for projects and such.

Remember remeber Kelly back in November, the gun, cattle, prison plot.... i know of no reason why the guns, cattle, prison should ever be forgot... Kelly Prevails!!!

[@elroyscout]

Just the begging shows people become criminals because they're forced to, not because they are inherently bad people.

[@sirrobertwalpole913]

It's a fair generalization.

[@KuraIthys]

Well, yeah, but a lot of egotistic assholes become CEO's of large companies instead. Somehow we reward certain kinds of assholes with the best-paying jobs around, while at the same time treating others as garbage. Society is pretty weird like that.

[@geneirai]

you could also argue that stealing an animal from someone well enough to just TAKE land that doesn't belong to them isn't really that big of a crime.

I studied Ned Kelly in school in history and in English via a fictional "mock" autobiography. On neither occasions did I learn of the ingeniously simple cattle laundering scheme. Thank you EC for filling in where education failed.

Communists would worship him , fighting against Bourgeois , class struggle

Babita The only thing Ned Kelly fought against was the police who were trying to bring his criminality under control. There was no class struggle. That is made up BS.

[@ryanstier1376]

Hi, I love the videos you guys make but in this one I cant figure out why the "wealthy squatters" are called that. Isn't a squatter somebody that's staying on somebody else's land? How do you become wealthy doing that?

[@extrahistory]

As an American who is also used to hearing "squatter" associated with poverty, this threw me for a loop as well. ;) In Australia, colonists who arrived early and/or had a lot of money would go out and build ranches on "unclaimed" land. The British Crown considered that land the territory of their government, hence these people were squatting on government land... BUT they also got to build these big ranches before anybody else did, which made them even more rich. By the time the colonial governments in Australia got around to trying to reclaim that land, the squatters had become very well established and successfully fought off (most of) the government's attempts to take their property back. Many felt that they had earned the land by risking their necks to settle it - Australia has always been famous for its deadly wildlife/climate/etc. Eventually, the word "squatter" came to be associated with rich people whether or not they'd earned their property by squatting on it. Look up the "squattocracy" ("squatter aristocracy") if you want to learn more about it! NB: All of this is a pretty Euro-centric summary of what "squatters" were. The land they were squatting on belonged to the aboriginal people, which they refused to recognize. -Soraya

[@PSadvance]

The housing market down here is so stuffed these days that Im considering finding a nice slice of crown land for myself.

[@samsabastian5560]

@@extrahistory In 1860 the Victoria government enacted The Lands Act that took the land back from the squatters. There were some problems with the legislation, but by 1869 the squatters had been defeated, and the settlers had won. Note that was well before the Kelly outbreak. Kelly mainly stole from poor settlers, as there were very few squatters left in that area.
