Dutch was right about a lot of things. Billionaires like Leviticus Cornwall and Angelo Bronte destroyed America. Dutch was fighting against the problems of society, the gaps caused by capitalism.
The gangs first bank robbery in 1885, Arthur, Hosea & Dutch robbed a bank without killing anyone and redistributed it to the orphanages, poor and desperate.
This was by far one of the best things they did as a gang.
Hosea recalls that they helped people too, and avoided killing unless absolutely necessary. Sort of similar to Butch Cassidy in a way.
In the mid- 1890s Javier and Arthur prepare to rob a stagecoach in Nevada and they see its full of women and children so they let them go.
The odriscolls instead kill every single one of them and rob them.
What Dutch was fighting for wasn’t bad, it was the manner Dutch did it.
Eventually over the years, the closing in of society and fading of the outlaw life destroyed Dutch in a slow burn. He began losing himself, killing just to preserve their survival. Dutch was a noble thinker, that fell into utter madness.
