  1. Ned Kelly dictated those letters to Joe Byrne.

  2. Alex Smout Kelly is only a legend to the ignorant and ill-informed.

  3. Paul C Ned Kelly NEVER mentioned a republic. That was made up by Ian Jones and promoted heavily. It was all rubbish.

  4. Jonathon Bulmer So you consider a murderer, bank robber, hostage taker, thief and stand-over-thug is important to you. That's quite weird.

  5.  @callumloughran2911  Byrne was better educated, yes. When Kelly was in gaol his letters to government were dictated to prison guards. He did not write them himself.

  6. Constantinos So the worship a murderer, bank robber, hostage taker, thief, stand-over-thug and liar. You're a bit weird sport.

  7. Pappa Lazarou I take it you don't know that the Royal Commission of 1881 found that the police acted properly addressing Ned Kelly's criminality?

  8.  @jollabang9564  If you think Ned Kelly gave to the poor, you are mistaken. Kelly did not even give his mother or his sisters one penny of the money he robbed from the banks at Euroa and Jerilderie. His sisters were seen in Benalla dressed in rags and skinny. A police officer saw their plight and raised funds from the community and gave it to the local shop keeper, who provided the girls with clothes and food. So much for Kelly being a Robin Hood type character.

  9.  @zm1694  So, please tell us all, what information is not true?

  10.  @zm1694  Still waiting for you to state what you claim is misleading? Nothing is misleading that I have penned. I write truth.

  11. NODnuke45 Ned Kelly was only rebelling against the authorities as they were trying to stop his massive horse stealing enterprise that was sending numerous poor settlers bankrupt.

  12.  @uranium54321  If you think the debt was wiped off because Kelly burnt some documents, you are sadly mistaken. The debts remained.

  13.  @alexsmout203  You have been fed on fiction, myths and lies sport. You have no idea of his criminality.

  14. Alex Smout If you were taught that Ned Kelly was a legend at school, you have been conned.

  15.  @Jonhistorymodel  If a murderous thug like Ned Kelly is important to you, you need to have a good hard look at your values, Jonathon.

  16.  @jollabang9564  The only thing Ned Kelly stood up for was Ned Kelly. The government rightly moved to bring his murderous criminality to an end.
    3
  17.  @chinchinlovs6563  The only thing that Ned Kelly targeted was poor settlers by taking their work horses, effectively leaving them bankrupt.

  18. CWx Daf Your comment is correct. Petty criminals do not murder, rob banks, take hostages, thieve, then stand over their victims threatening more harm.
    3
  19. Ethar Childres I note that you seem to have ignored making a comment regarding the 3 decent men that Kelly murdered at Stringybark Creek. Sgt Kennedy had 5 children under 10 years of age and Constable Lonigan had 4 children. Both their wives were pregnant at the time. So according to you, do they count?
    3
  20.  Myrmadon  Both of those police officers were married men and were highly respected in their communities.
    3
  21.  @jbcarseiii  That myth was not on Kelly's radar. It started as a joke in a 1933 newspaper and Ian Jones developed it into a 'fact', when in fact he made it all up.
    3
  22.  @awakeandwatching953  BRUTAL? BRITISH? The Victoria government enacted The Lands Act in 1860 to grant land on excellent terms to poor immigrants. The act had some errors but by 1869 the act was fixed and squatters were no longer on that land by 1870, well before Ned Kelly started his reign of terror across NE Victoria. Two of the first premiers of Victoria were IRISH. 82% of the police force were IRISH. Ned Kelly was only opposed to the state as they were trying to bring his criminality under control. If you claim the government was brutal, show me some evidence. You won't come back as you are talking made up nonsense that sadly you believe.

  23.  @noncehuntingassociation8744  I advise you that the Royal Commission into The Victoria Police of 1881, consisted of mostly anti-police politicians. They were out to get the police. BUT guess what? They found no evidence at all that the police acted other than in an appropriate manner, towards the Kelly's. “ It may also be mentioned that the charge of persecution of the family by the members of the police force has been frequently urged in extenuation of the crimes of the outlaws; but, after careful examination, your Commissioners have arrived at the conclusion that the police, in their dealings with the Kelly’s and their relations, were simply desirous of discharging their duty conscientiously; and that no evidence has been adduced to support the allegation that either the outlaws or their friends were subjected to persecution or unnecessary annoyance at the hands of the police.” The only oppression that occurred was by Kelly and the Greta Mob who stood over their victims and threatened them with more harm if they dared to report the theft to the police. Did you hear any mention of that behaviour in this video? Of course not.

  24. HeyoSpeaker That is a very uneducated comment. Ned Kelly threatened all his hostages with death if they did not obey. He robbed them all, and at Faithfull's Creek station when one man stood up to him, he put the barrel of his revolver in his mouth and threatened to shoot him dead if he did not obey. At Glenrowan Kelly was playing with a revolver he stole and fired a shot, hitting George Metcalf in the eye. Kelly refused him medical attention, and he died 2 months later. At Glenrowan he put 62 men, women and children in harms way and two of them were accidentally killed. It was a bastard act by Kelly to do that, and he is responsible for their deaths. The facts show that Ned Kelly was a thug to his hostages. Your comment follows fiction that you have read written by authors who lauded Kelly instead of presenting him as he was, a very serious criminal.
    3
  25. Negi That is made up fiction. Had that happened, Kelly would have been charged with assaulting police. He made it up and lied, as he always did.

  26. spamviking that is true.

  27. Murderers are NOT national treasurers sport. By the way, Ned Kelly never uttered those words on the gallows. That was made up fiction.

  28.  @RedwolfDogrocket  What responsible parent would make such a stupid comment?
    3
  29.  @Ad_Astra_321  You have no idea. Ned Kelly had a massive horse stealing 'business' where he would steal horses in the dead of night, usually from poor selectors, and move them to a criminal accomplice's property and hide them until he had about 12 horses. He would then move them over the River Murray, again at night time, and release them near a pound where the pound keeper would hold them, then when they were not claimed, would be sold at a low price. Kelly was also stealing stock in NSW and hiding them on his accomplices properties until he had about 12 horses, and he would then bring them into Victoria and release them near a pound. After a time they would be sold back to Kelly, where he obtained a proper title to them. It was a massive business, until police discovered a lot of horses held at Barnawatha and began to tear his 'enterprise' down. You have no idea, do you?

  30. Prof Naps There are 3.6 million guns in private hands in Australia. What are you talking about?

  31. Kishin Asura There is not a shred of evidence anywhere that Ned Kelly gave anything to the poor, and that included his mother and sisters.

  33.  @melonlord7443  WHY? It's a load of fictitious rubbish.
    3
  34.  @jollabang9564  The myth that Kelly stood up to the government is fictional nonsense. The Victoria government had enacted legislation that granted land to poor settlers on excellent terms, and of those that took up that offer, 80% succeeded. Kelly was hell-bent on removing the government and the police, so he could carry on his criminal enterprise of massive stock stealing. So if you claim he was standing up to the government, why was he doing that, when the government was assisting so many people get ahead in the new colony?

  37. J F That is NOT what the Royal Commission found. The police acted with integrity and they said so. Victoria was never a penal colony. Your comment is fictitious nonsense.

  38. gh0st gamez WRONG. Ned Kelly opened fire on the police at the front of Ann Jones inn, at 3.15 am Police returned fire, and he was wounded twice in his left arm and in his right foot. He walked straight back into the hotel and went straight out the back door. Walked 150 metres and lay down behind a large log. He remained there until 7 am, when he rose and attacked police from behind. Sgt Steele brought him down with two shotgun shots to his legs. It was not raining.

  39. LimeGuy101 It was a journalist who made up the quote SUCH IS LIFE to embellish his story in the local papers.

  40.  @gr3123  Because the children and the people of Australia should be told FACTS, not be conned with fictional nonsense. Truth is important to me and especially to this nations history. There is so much fictitious nonsense promulgated about Ned Kelly that sadly, he, to some, is some sort of hero, when in fact he was a very serious criminal, as the facts show. We should all care that our history is recorded accurately. When it comes to Ned Kelly and his clan, all we see is fictitious nonsense, that clearly has influenced a great many people. Far too many have been led up the garden path, and have no idea they are supporting one of the worst criminals this country has ever had to bear.

  41.  @raucousreg9064  The entire Kelly family, reject the republican myth. You are making things up Reg.
    2
  42.  @Epictaco45  Ned Kelly threatened ALL of his hostages with death if they disobeyed him. He stole from all of them, and most of them were very poor. He shot one of his hostages at Glenrowan in the eye and refused him medical treatment, George Metcalf. He died 2 months later. Sadly, you believe fiction, myths and lies that you have read or seen. Wake up to the true story.
    2
  43.  @Fargoth_Ur  Those writers are telling the truth about a very serious criminal. Much that has been written in the past 50 years, hide the real facts and present Kelly as oppressed, when in fact it was Kelly who was oppressing the public.
    2
  44.  @chrisbarrett8377  I am part of a large group that is moving to have all the myths, lies and fiction regarding Ned Kelly removed from ALL government and quasi government organisations. Several government departments have already removed a great deal of rubbish, with a lot more to come. What is presented here and in other places is fictitious made up rot. We tell the truth about this vicious, murdering thug.
    2
  45.  @callummackay75  Can you present some evidence that the government of Victoria was vicious to the population? From my readings the government, that had two Irish premiers in the early years, were very generous to poor settlers by granting them land on excellent terms. At least 80% of those settlers made a go of it on their land. Let's see what you have got there, callum.
    2
  46.  @kempodle4665  Getting rid of the squatters and granting land to poor settlers on excellent terms was what the government did. They did treat people well. When there were droughts, bushfires etc. the government deferred rent on the land, and they certainly tried to be fair to the settlers. Ned Kelly just robbed from all the settlers, and he didn't care who he robbed from. His thieving sent many settlers bankrupt, as they could not replace the horse he had stolen. The government and the police worked hard to rid the NE of Victoria of the Kelly scourge and when the scourge was removed the entire NE population were glad to see them gone.

  50.  @callummackay75  If you claim I am wrong, in what respect am I wrong? I can assure you I am fully au fait with the Kelly story, and it does not follow the myths, lies and fiction that is presented all over the place today on videos like this one, which is a load of codswallop.
    2
  51.  @pusbys9730  Firstly, explaining the truth. But in the long term I am writing a book that does explain the truth, which will be going into 6,500 primary schools across Australia. It is hopeless to try and change the dills who believe all the fiction that proliferates across the internet and in government and quasi government documentation. They are not bright enough to see the truth and consistently argue that the police were the bad guys and the Kelly's were the good guys, sort of, so to speak. By getting a truthful book into primary schools, a new generation will come along and will know the facts and will laugh at the generation that have been conned into believing the myths, fiction and falsehoods that dominates at the moment. The book is well under way, and it will include references to the evidence.
    2
  52.  @pusbys9730  You would also see that many on here blab their pure fiction and when I challenge them to produce proof that the police harassed the Kelly's etc. not one of them can produce a shred of evidence to support their fictitious views. I have asked several to provide evidence, but if you read through, not one of them provides a shred of evidence anywhere. Why? Because they have been reading fiction and are silly enough to believe it.

  53.  @jeffpienta4532  Ned Kelly was NEVER viewed as a people's person. He was viewed at the time as a vicious criminal who had the people of NE Victoria in fear. Where did you get the idea he was a people's person? The only people who support that view are Kelly fans, who hide the truth. Of 14,500 people in NE Victoria, his supporters were no more than 250 relatives and criminal types. Roughly 2%. Yet to select a name for the book, but I assure you, it is coming.

  54.  @jeffpienta4532  RUBBISH. Kate Kelly made up that story 10 months after Fitzpatrick went to the home. Ned Kelly confirmed that it did not happen after he was captured at Glenrowan. Your comment is a load of BS. Where are you getting this fiction from?

  56.  @chrisp.lettuce8900  Your knowledge of the RC is woeful. Most of the RC members were politicians and were anti-police. However, they found that the police acted with integrity regarding the Kelly's. There is ample written evidence to support my comment.

  58. Allen Jacques For a start, two of the first premiers in Victoria were Irish. 82% of the Police were Irish. Ned Kelly murdered 3 IRISH police officers.

  62. Christian Harris. Then tell us, Christian, how come almost all the other settlers in that area made a go of it on their granted land. More than 80% succeeded. Why didn't the Kelly's? I'll tell you. Because it was easier to be a criminal and steal from poor settlers, taking their only horse, than actually working the land. It was never worked by the Kelly's. Ellen Kelly ran a prostitution racket and a sly grog shop to make money. Ned Kelly ran a massive horse stealing 'business' that was very profitable. He bragged he had stolen more than 280 horses.
    2
  63.  @jinchuriki7022  I will ask you this, Christian. Almost ALL the other settlers in that area did not find it necessary to steal, and there were a lot of settlers there. You seem to be missing the point that the Kelly's were a criminal family, and it was much easier to steal from other poor settlers than to work your land or get a job somewhere. Red Kelly was a drunk. He drank himself to death. Kelly's mother, Ellen Quinn before she was married also came from a huge criminal family. It was their way of life, and they deserved the punishments handed out by the courts, which I might add were often manned by JP's from the local area.

  67.  @NegiSenseiTV  True, Ned Kelly was a compulsive liar, and he made up a great deal.

  68.  @Perice.Of.The.Havens  He is nothing of the sort. He was a serious criminal who murdered, robbed banks, who threatened hostages with death, and he stood over the poor people he stole from, often taking their only work horse leaving them bankrupt. Your comment is garbage. Murderers cannot be considered heroes.
    2
  69.  @breadslayer7442  He MURDERED in cold blood. The three police he murdered were highly respected men who kept their communities free of the Kelly scourge. Sgt Kennedy had 5 young children and his wife was pregnant. He was not badly wounded, as the evidence showed at the Royal Commission, and he pleaded with Kelly to let him live for the sake of his children. Kelly took a shotgun and blasted him in the chest at point-blank-range, killing him instantly. Not satisfied with that atrocity, he then robbed all the murdered police of their possessions, including their wedding rings. Constable Lonigan also had four young children and his wife was pregnant. Your comment follows the fictional nonsense that has been written in more recent years, rather than the true story that showed he was a serious vicious criminal.

  73.  @emperorhadrian6011  Ned Kelly NEVER had a good name. He and his family were loathed and shunned in the Greta area. He was a serious criminal, and the people at the time of his capture were relieved that the murderous bunch were finally brought to answer for their many crimes. Shame on you for being so dumb that you cannot work out that he was a very serious criminal. Here is what one of the local papers said at the time. Your comment follows myths, lies and fiction that you have been believing. “The Kelly family are notorious in this district and their names are as familiar as household words. The home of the family has been the rendezvous of thieves and criminals for years, and indeed has been the centre of crime that almost surpasses belief. They lived on the Eleven Mile Creek between Winton and Greta and made a living by horse stealing and theft. They were surrounded by neighbours of the same bad reputation and it was notorious that to obtain evidence or arrest the accused owing to the network of confederates for miles around was almost impossible.”

  79.  @Ad_Astra_321  You have no idea what you are talking about. I will ask you one question. You are claiming Ned Kelly was harassed and abused by police. Then tell us, as Ned Kelly boasted to his hostages that he had stolen at least 280 horses, and the police had only ever charged him with stealing one horse, how was he being harassed? Ned Kelly was pushed nowhere. The police got him a job when he was charged with armed robbery. He rejected that job and turned to massive criminal activity. Show us your evidence that Kelly was pushed. Kelly murdered 3 decent police in a cold-blooded, vile way. He had no morals, was a stand-over-thug, and a vicious man.

Are you talking about the police who were highly respected, mostly married men, who protected their communities from the thieving Kelly's? Are you talking about the police that the Royal Commission found acted properly in addressing the Kelly's criminality? Please tell us, how many people who took up the land offer, made a go of it? I'll tell you. More than 80% remained on the land and several became quite wealthy, even having to deal with the thieving Kelly's stealing their only horse.

There were issues with the legislation, but by 1969 the matter was well and truly settled in favour of the settlers. Over 80% of those settlers made a go of it, and some became quite wealthy. Two of the first premiers of Victoria were Irish. 82% of the police force were Irish. All the police that Kelly murdered were Irish. Aaron Sherritt that Kelly organised to murder, was Irish. Perhaps you could show us some information that supports your point of view? I will await your reply with interest.

  122. Frankie Fontecchio You are so wrong with your comment. Kelly WAS a vicious criminal, as the FACTS show. Ned Kelly ADMITTED to shooting Fitzpatrick after he was captured at Glenrowan. The police were found by the RC to be acting properly regarding Kelly's massive criminality. Also under oath, during Ned Kelly’s trial in Melbourne, Senior Constable Kelly described a conversation he had with Ned Kelly immediately after he had been captured at Glenrowan: “Between 3 and 6 the same morning had another conversation with prisoner in the presence of Constable Ryan. Gave him some milk-and-water. Asked him if Fitzpatrick’s statement was correct. Prisoner said, “Yes, I shot him.”

  130.  @themongrelmaag579  Do you know what the reform of the police in Victoria was? The Royal Commission found the police acted properly regarding Kelly's criminality. The reforms, if you could call them that, were more police were employed, better training initiated. Mounted police were better armed. That's about it. I will add that the Royal Commissioners recommended some senior ranks be retired, and some demoted. The government rejected that recommendation and NO police were demoted, and in fact both Supt Hare & Nicolson were appointed police magistrates.
    1
  131.  @themongrelmaag579  I will also mention the ruling class as you call it. Two of the early premiers in Victoria were IRISH about Kelly's time. 82% of the police force were IRISH. They were in fact the ruling class. Far too much fiction, mythological nonsense and downright lies have been written by Kelly fans that distort the facts. At the time Kelly was captured, the entire population of NE Victoria breathed a sigh of relief, as he was running rampant stealing a huge amount of livestock. There were Stock Protection Societies formed throughout the region to help police bring the thieves to justice. For 50 years after Kelly was hanged, Kelly was buried and no one cared at all. The population were more than happy to forget them. It was Kelly fans who started the myths from about 1930 that drove forward the fiction.

  134. sean wilson WRONG. Ned Kelly was loathed by the great majority of people that lived in Victoria. He threatened more harm to many of his victims after stealing the only horse that poor settlers had, including murdering members of their family. Where did you get the idea that he was a hero of the people, when the opposite is the case?

  135. cp1cupcake NO it didn't. Why? Because the Royal Commission found that the police acted with integrity and properly when addressing Kelly's massive criminal empire. Your comment is following fiction.

  136.  @lucascoval828  YES. Here is what the Royal Commission found. “ It may also be mentioned that the charge of persecution of the family by the members of the police force has been frequently urged in extenuation of the crimes of the outlaws; but, after careful examination, your Commissioners have arrived at the conclusion that the police, in their dealings with the Kelly’s and their relations, were simply desirous of discharging their duty conscientiously; and that no evidence has been adduced to support the allegation that either the outlaws or their friends were subjected to persecution or unnecessary annoyance at the hands of the police.”

  145. ​ @gr3123  Ian Jones wrote a book called Ned Kelly, A Short Life. He wrote that in 1995. His book included the made up nonsense of Kelly organising a republic. It was made up with not a shred of real evidence to support it. Peter FitzSimons also promoted the same myth in his more recent book. Unfortunately, even government departments have been conned into promoting that myth. At Glenrowan it appears all over the place, when it is fiction through and through. There were no books to counteract the fiction until more recently. Books like Ned Kelly Unmasked by Ian MacFarlane, and Ned Kelly a Lawless Life and Ned Kelly Selectors, Squatters and Stock Thieves by Dr. Doug Morrissey in recent times expose the myths very effectively with documentary evidence from the time. These books are not that well known. I can assure you there are moves afoot from our group to have the myths removed from government and quasi government material, and we are getting them removed.

Read the papers from 1880 when Kelly was finally brought to heel at Glenrowan and see what they said about this vicious stand-over thug. I am only presenting facts that show that what you are listening to here and in other places on YT and Facebook is fictitious and have been maliciously promoted as truth when they are lying to the public. When you find people like the narrator here repeating the myths, it needs to be corrected in the interests of TRUE history. Don't you agree? Your comment that criminal can act like gentlemen is a bit rich. Do you mean being nice when they rob someone? Not exactly a sound comment Adam.
    1
  162. @Go-your-own-way Your comment is so wrong. Firstly, 82% of the police in Victoria were Irish. The Royal Commission found the Kelly's were NOT harassed as they claimed. Kelly was found a good job by the police and given money to go to that job. He refused and turned to a life of crime. He made that decision himself. He was not forced into anything. Do you think that Kelly putting the barrel of his revolver into the mouth of a man who stood up to him at Faithfull's Creek threatening to shoot him dead was 'charming'? Kelly was a vicious low life, as the facts show, but they have been hidden by Kelly fans who have written books full of lies.

  164. @Go-your-own-way So you have to attack me personally for pointing out the myths, fiction and lies being promoted here?

The Victoria State Library has also removed their Kelly fiction, and that too is being rewritten by a professional historian with all the myths removed. Guess who made that happen too? There are many more to come, but the tide is turning and truth is winning. The garbage that is presented on this and other sites is a disgrace to this nation and especially to the children of this nation, when a vicious stand-over, murderous thug is lauded. Don't tell me there is nothing I can do about it, as I am already succeeding in getting the rubbish removed.

That situation is the same today. Police do not need a warrant in hand to arrest someone if a warrant exists.

He worked hard and made serious money and grew his property empire and assisted many poor. So don't tell me the government taxed too heavily. Obviously, you don't know that two of the first Premiers of Victoria were in fact IRISH.

It is clear you have been following rubbish written by Kelly fans.

Ellen ran a prostitution racket and a sly grog shop, and Red was a drunk. Most of the Kelly's neighbours were Primitive Methodists who worked hard, did not drink alcohol etc. and they succeeded. What about James Whitty. Irishman who landed in Victoria illiterate and penniless. He worked hard and did extremely well. He was not the only one who succeeded beyond expectations. There were lots of jobs around that Red or Ned could have taken up to bring in funds. They turned to a life of crime of their own volition, Christian.

  223. paki20 The people did NOT love him. They despised him. Here is what one paper said after the gang was finished at Glenrowan. “The destruction of the Kelly gang is a great blessing. It has spread throughout the country a sense of relief hardly expressible in words. Had society been ridded of a horde of hyenas, wolves, and tigers, thirsting for human blood, the joy would scarcely have been greater than that felt at the hunting down of this band of unmitigated ruffians and murderers. For two years has the country, infested by those men, been living in a state of terror and panic, subject at every and any minute to their depreciations, cruelties, and. crimes. … To such brigands police, peaceful citizens, and even children are alike enemies, if found on the track of their nefarious doings; and if, in the late sanguinary encounter, where children were actually exposed by them to the shots of the besiegers; no women fell victims to their murderous deeds, it is because the circumstances of the case did not require their sacrifice. … Like demons they have lived, and like demons they have died. Never perhaps in the long and sanguinary history of bushranging, has Colonial Society been cursed with four fiends of so black a dye.”

After robbing banks of a huge amount of money, not one penny of that was given to his mother or his sisters, who were seen in Benalla dressed in rags and skinny. It was a police officer who saw their plight and raised funds from the public to help them. Funds were given to the storekeeper, so his siblings could we dressed and fed. So much for your comment of Kelly caring for his friends and family. He did nothing of the sort.

  258. Peyote The only reason Kelly objected to the authorities, was because they were interfering in his massive horse stealing operation, where he stole the only horse poor settlers had sending them bankrupt. Your comment is way off course.

  259.  @emperorhadrian6011  Not true. The settlers were on their own and had to pay rent on their land just like anyone else today. The suggestion that the Irish were discriminated against is total and complete fiction. Two of Victoria's first premiers were Irish. 82% of the police were Irish. Ned Kelly murdered three Irish police officers. Your comment follows fiction sport.

  262. Goblez You are correct up to a certain date, but after 1869, well before Kelly's reign of terror, the matter was well settled in the settler's favour. There were no squatters left in the Greta, Moyhu, Benalla area when Kelly was operating, stealing wherever and whenever he could.

  286. Lycan Seijin Not true. At the time Kelly's criminal empire was flourishing, the government worked hard to bring him to justice. The police did the same. Ned Kelly boasted that he had stolen 280 horses. It was more than appropriate for the government and the police to be trying to bring his criminal empire down. The Victorian government was very generous in granting poor settlers land on excellent terms. If you claim the government was evil, let's see some evidence.

  291.  @theprophetofthepastagod5633  You display your ignorance. Ned Kelly DID have a massive stock stealing empire. He stole stock from as far east as Gippsland and well into NSW, throughout the Riverina district and further north. He stole stock from near Melbourne and well into the western districts, as the facts show. He boasted to his hostages that he had stolen at least 280 horses and he also claimed to have stolen 400 horses from James Whitty. No doubt that last claim was fiction, but I re-iterate again, Kelly DID have a massive criminal empire relating to stock stealing. If you claim otherwise, let's see your evidence.

  296. Bensjammin What is missed in this docu and just about everywhere else is the fact that she was taken at gunpoint and threatened with death if she put a foot wrong, AND Kelly told her that he would shoot her 3 children as well, if she disobeyed. That was what Kelly was like, a stand-over-thug.
    1
  297.  @bensjammin5823  I only comment to expose myths, fiction and lies. Mrs Devine full well knew that Kelly had murdered 3 police officers, and he would carry out his threat. She was traumatised and suffered from Kelly's abuse for the rest of her life. Kelly was a stand-over thug, as the facts clearly show.
    1
  298.  @bensjammin5823  I am well-read on the Kelly era of criminality. There are numerous accounts of how she was traumatised in well researched material. It seems that you deem it acceptable for a criminal to take hostages at gunpoint? REALLY?

  306. The Pariah Your comment is not true. There were no squatters left in the Greta, Moyhu, Benalla area when Ned Kelly was at the height of his criminal empire. It was Ned Kelly who was doing the pushing around, stealing the only horse that poor settlers had, then threatening them with more harm if they reported the theft to the police.
    1
  307.  @thepariah3516  How about addressing the issue at hand instead of making irrelevant comments. You clearly have no idea of Ned Kelly and his vicious stand-over tactics. You need to do a lot more research before coming out with your false claims.
    1
  308.  @thepariah3516  All Kelly believed in was stealing the only horse that poor settlers had, then standing over them, threatening them with more harm if they had the audacity to report the theft to police. Kelly even threatened to murder his victim's children. The police he murdered were all decent men who were highly respected in their communities, as they kept them safe from the Kelly scourge. Your comment reflects badly on your values.

  314. Ned Kelly was a serious criminal and what is stated in this video is made up fiction. Here is what the people really thought of Ned Kelly. “The destruction of the Kelly gang is a great blessing. It has spread throughout the country a sense of relief hardly expressible in words. Had society been ridded of a horde of hyenas, wolves, and tigers, thirsting for human blood, the joy would scarcely have been greater than that felt at the hunting down of this band of unmitigated ruffians and murderers. For two years has the country, infested by those men, been living in a state of terror and panic, subject at every and any minute to their depreciations, cruelties, and. crimes. … To such brigands police, peaceful citizens, and even children are alike enemies, if found on the track of their nefarious doings; and if, in the late sanguinary encounter, where children were actually exposed by them to the shots of the besiegers; no women fell victims to their murderous deeds, it is because the circumstances of the case did not require their sacrifice. … Like demons they have lived, and like demons they have died. Never perhaps in the long and sanguinary history of bushranging, has Colonial Society been cursed with four fiends of so black a dye.”
