Robin Hood gave to the poor, these gangs don't.
Robin Hood fought against unfair taxation. The gangs don't care.

Robin hood never stole from the rich per se. He stole from the government and its cronies that taxed the masses into utter poverty and destitution. A small but important distinction.

We actually enjoyed it as well. Some factual aspects, some speculatory parts but entertaining despite leo dee crapio being in it.

There is no giving to the poor mentioned. So, no, not a “Robin Hood” mentality.

Reminds me of the mugging scene in Mad Men when Roger and Joan are walking through a once-nice neighborhood and are held at gunpoint. Roger says something like, “Just give him what he wants and look down.”

That does not reflect well on NYC, that at the time, there seemed to be a routine to muggings. As long as you hand it over and don’t look up at them so you can’d ID them, you’re likely to be unharmees. Physically, anyway.

None of it is good but I understand your sentiment....

When there are no consequences criminals go where the money is.

In the past you were more likely to be prosecuted for doing crime in a “nice area” (and more likely to be caught). That fear has passed with the war on cops and Soros prosecutors.

“A “Robin Hood Mentality” Emerges On America’s Streets As Gangs Of Thieves Start To Prey Upon The Rich”

hogwash ... petty criminals have wised up that the rich are now helpless prey since soros-bought DAs were installed, and robbing poor people is a waste of time anyway when you can rob people who actually have stuff that is valuable ...

Absolutely!:

If liberal elites don't like being targeted, they need to become political conservatives and establish a rule of law where they live. Stop supporting faggot DAs, cheap hustlers/politicians, and take back their city. Otherwise, enjoy the suck.

Not quite right.

The rich in Robin Hood’s story were tyrannical folks on top of the feudal system and more comparable to government people.
