Robbbing from the rich to give to the poor - Outlaws.

"I'll give you money if you don't tell on me for stealing"

Robin Hood, one of the most famous British legends was a criminal. No-one can deny this, yet it doesn't bother people. People still revere and accept him has a hero of his day because of who his stole from.

Does who the crime is commited against factor into weather it is wrong or right?

Well, think about it, if someone was to have walked into Hitlers bunker and shot him in the face during WW2 it would have been called Asassination - which is for all intensive purposes Murder. Yet there would not have been an inquest, there would not have been a trial and there would not have been jail time, in fact the person who pulled the trigger would be worshipped for his actions.

So if you commit a crime against a bad person does it become a good crime? is there such a thing?

Robin Hood, was famous for robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. The poor turned a blind eye to his crimes because they were benefitting from it. So does that mean that deep down we're all corrupt because we're willing to turn a blind eye to someones crimes because we're benefitting from it?
