Ned Kelly was to some a hero and others an outlaw. I grew up in the same town as he, when we were both kids. Neds family shifted to the town after being persecuted in other towns by the law, his father Red Kelly is buried in the local cemetery. While living in the town, he saved a local from quicksand, in a creek that runs through the town. The community presented him with a sash for saving his life, which he reportedly wore when he was hung. When Peter Carey launched his book, True History of the Kelly Gang, a person I went to school with, went to the launching with 40 family members and Peter Carey said that those 40 members of his family, would not be here if Ned Kelly had not saved his grandfathers life. His spirt will forever remain and such is life.

scoup That Isa Really Amazing Story Too An Again Thanks For Sharing. Can You Tell Why Ned Kelly Got Hung That Dont Seem Right If He Save Peoples Lives. Ned Kelly was an Australian outlaw that robbed banks and shot and killed a couple of police in the late 1800`s. He covered a large area of Victoria and was made famous for wearing metal amour, he was shot in the legs in a shoot out, at a place called Glenrown, where he was caught. He was tried and hung, there has been many books, films about him, one film Mick Jagger played the role of him. As said, to some he was a hero and to others he was an outlaw, at the time in this country there was capital punishment, even though there is not now and it still causes heated debate.

Part of the reason that he and the gang were seen by some as hero`s, was that it took the law a long time to catch them.
