Bandits


What are bandits? Those who tend to rob on a daily basis or a gangster who cheats and exploits others, there could even be groups of bandits, who knows! All we know is that they can rob from the rich and even the poor.

A good example of a bandit is Charles Arthur aka 'Pretty boy Floyd' who rose from a huge poorly family to one of the worlds biggest bank robbers in history. He had escaped the country boy lifestyle for the more modern era. Here he had gained a bad reputation and to make way through life was to rob. This could be from post offices and then banks and along the way he had taken many lives. In the end, Floyd was betrayed not by his family or friends but by an ambitious protector of American Justice called J.Edgar Hoover. From reading through many different articles and sources this is an overall general basic idea of what Charles Arthur did. From reading through sources how he died i have noticed is in many different ways from the various writers.

There have been many celebrities who have shot to fame but used to be part of gangs and outlaws. Such as 50 Cent, one of the worlds most famous rapper. He had lost his mother through drugs at the age of 8, his father walked out on the family so he was left with his grandparents and the rest of the family. As he had little money he became a member of the well known drug game, the skills in dealing, selling and making drugs was quickly picked up and money started rolling in. Family soon became aware and tryed to stop this from happening before another life could be taken. Soon after some very hard time and gaining attention from groups of rivals he began to rap about life, drugs, sex, money to earn his way out of poverty. Through this he rose to fame and has become one of the worlds biggest rap stars. More information about 50 Cent you can visit: www.50cent.com/

People out there are from all kinds good and bad, rich and poor, generous and selfish etc...Bandits may be wrong but if you actually try not to stereotype and look at their bachgrounds such as 50 cent then maybe people's perceptions can change?
