Bandits and Outlaws

I was interested in last weeks lecture to hear that outlaws like Robin Hood were not always the good guys but were bad as well. I think that bandits like Bonnie and Clyde or "Pretty Boy" Floyd were bad guys as they murdered people, however; Robin Hood is not as he stole from the rich to give to the poor. I think that Robin Hood did not steal for his own benefit i.e. to be famous like Jesse James, but rather he did it for the poor people of his village. The only problem with the Robin Hood case is that it is debatable whether he actually exists or not. So this defeats the point that some bandits could be good as those that we know about and have historical knowledge on, are all bad as they commited crime for their own benefit. So all bandits and outlaws must be bad.
