Why are they calling him a folk hero?

He stole lots of other people’s money, threatened and endangered dozens of innocents.

It’s offensive to call him a hero

I agree, all this “folk hero” stuff is crap — people who find romance and excitement in “outlaw” behavior sell a lot of books and movies, though.

I do admit to enjoying “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” but a lot of the outlaw genre leaves me cold, as I think about the moral and human offenses which are being glorified and romanticized.

The kind of folk who write for newspapers think he's a folk hero.
