Are you on drugs lol? Williamson and Skillion got 11 and 7 years hard labour and Redmond Barry said he would have given Ned 20, all over BS incident and with no proof. That's hardly working out well. Can you think why people were upset about things? Sure Ned and the others could have lived different lives, been straight laced, much like the farmers of the Greta region who lost their land for no reason.
If the crown had of hanged Ned for horse stealing there would be no issues. But they didn't and so there are.
Maybe if the English had treated the Irish better there might not have been so much trouble. You can say Kelly was a fool, but history belongs to the victor, and while the police won the battle they lost the war. There were changes implemented after the Kelly outbreak to ensure it didn't happen again, people got a fairer go, crooked and corrupt police were cleaned out, and the Stringybark shooting stung the police.
