The story of Robin Hood goes that he's a legendary folk hero who killed a man, and also steals from the rich to give to the poor. So that makes him technically a criminal, but still revered by some. There's a YouTube video of an 81-year-old man who had his claim denied and is therefore calling Luigi Mangione a modern-day Robin Hood: is that accurate?

The only thing that really happened is the rich folks getting shook up. Though I think Blue Cross backtracked a bad idea they had lol.

He's an inverted Robin Hood, delivering poverty to the wealthy.

The old guy is addicted to opiates so he probably didn't think about the giving to the poor part.

Jesse James is a folk hero. As for Robin Hood: he was a folk hero because the rich were afraid of him. Nobody back in Nottingham was silly enough to believe the give to the poor. It was just cover up for loving how the rich feared him.

@lyami the nicest thing I can say about you is that you post falsehoods and claim them for truth.

Robin Hood is a legendary heroic outlaw originally depicted in English folklore and subsequently featured in literature, theatre, and cinema. According to legend, he was a highly skilled archer and swordsman.

Quoted from the wikipedia entry. PS I know there is no Sants Claus.

Read wiki a bit farther to learn that various groups took the name or were given the name

Topic is about folk heroes. Do you know where you are?

Legends like Beowulf, Robin Hood and Jesse James are real. Historical? Not so much.

Fiction? There us much popular fiction based on the legends. Historians support the take that there were historical figures.

Not shitting on Luigi, but "robbing the rich to give to the poor" is like the main tag-line for Robin Hood. Not the best komparison if your man isn't actually doing that.

....I get your point, but seeing Jesse James with Beowulf and Robin Hood has me blinking.

Like, I think there's very good reason historians think there was a historical Jesse James.

This really sounds like you were talking about how you believed you had specific historical data about how actual people in Nottingham at the time didn't believe he gave to the poor and was just making rich people scared, not that people or groups may have used a name from stories as a moniker. You say "he" like its one guy.l, so that's why I was under the impression you believed he was real. It's not a crime to ne mistaken, nobody knows everything .

How could he be considered a Robin Hood type? He didn't do the one thing that a Robin Hood character does, robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

Mob bosses don't personally kill people either, but they're still murderers even if they didn't personally pull the trigger.

He was using an AI program to automatically deny claims so the profit line would go up faster.

Literally charging people for health insurance, then refusing to give them medical care so he and his company could just pocket the money they were paying. No human being ever actually looked at the claim, they were just fed into a computer set to "no".

Do his boots still taste good?
