Ned Kelly the victim
Edward Ned Kelly (1855-1880), an Australian bushranger, was born in June, 1855, at Beveridge, Victoria. He was the eldest son of John Red Kelly, an immigrant from Ireland, and Ellen, also an immigrant from Ireland. Ned Kelly was most known for stealing horses and robbing from banks. Some people think that Ned Kelly is a victim because he and his family were victimized by police. The Kelly’s were blamed for many crimes hey didn’t commit, Fitzpatrick abused Kate Kelly and got away with it and Ned’s mum (Ellen Quinn Kelly) was gaoled for a crime she didn’t commit.
The Kelly Gang was formed after Ned’s mother was unfairly jailed for her involvement in the assault on Constable Fitzpatrick, who had lied after sexually assaulting Kate Kelly, Ned’s sister. In the book “Black Snake: The Daring of Ned Kelly,” there are a few stories about that night. ”Mrs Kelly was sentenced to three years hard labour.” For arguing with the police/retaliating back at them.

The police harassment of the Kelly family is what led to the Kelly boys to become outlaws at such a young age.
The police accused the Kelly gang of crimes they didn’t commit. They also picked on them for no reason. Ned and Dan stood up for themselves and didn’t let the police push them around, as their dad was not around to help the family. This is why they were picked on so much. The Kelly boys were just trying to protect their land and their family, but the police kept making up stories to get them into trouble. Ned’s mum is quoted in the book as saying, “If they had been trying to provoke the boys to break the law and retaliate, they could not have done more than they did, and I firmly believe they were trying.” And due to this the Kelly gang weren’t given a fair trial, and were sentenced to
death. Ned Kelly wrote a letter saying the police lied about everything, but people didn’t believe his letter because of the corruption in the police and the public thinking that the Kelly Gang were villains. The police did not trust Ned due to the crimes he had committed, and the incidents that have happened between the police and Ned. The Glenrowan shoot-out shows how unfair the Kelly Gang were treated. The four of them were against hundreds of police and there was no way they could have got out alive. They never got the chance to tell their side of the story. Evidence was not shown in court, which led to Ned having an unfair trial and getting hung for his crimes. Ned Kelly's last words were, 'Such is life," which shows that he knew there would be no way he could change anything, because no one would listen to him. Ned Kelly was a victim because of all the stuff the police had put him and his family through. The police unfairly treated Ned’s family, the police did not believe his letter, and Ned got an unfair trial and was sentenced to death. The book “Black Snake the Daring of Ned Kelly” shows that there are all sides of the story and I believe that this book is trust worthy.
Both of the boys accusations were very severe. Steve Harmon was being tried for bring an accomplice in a murder/robbery in a convenience store. Even though there's not much information on the arrest itself it was hinted that he was found around the neighborhood and was trying to film for his class when he was arrested .Whereas, Brenton Butler was tried as the killer of an older tourist that was white. Butler was outside by his house when police spotted him, they took him in for questioning just because the description of the murderer was that he was African American. Once arrested they were both introduced to the people who could change their fate in the courtroom.
From the age of 12, Ned was a victim who toiled for his family desperately struggling to provide a decent living for his family. “The Kelly’s were poor people….” “The conditions in Victoria, from droughts to floods...” Things didn’t improve but instead got worse each time. “Ned was in trouble with the law since the age of 12.” Any historical event of good fortune didn’t last for long. This evidently states that Ned Kelly was having a really rough time during the adolescent years. The Kelly’s were unfortunate people who had little money to purchase and live comfortably. I believe that Ned had a criminal history because he found no other way out to help his family but to turn to crime. He stood up to the immoral, arrogant police force in Victoria because he was always targeted by them. Some people might see this character as irresponsible and ill-behaved and they were right to do so, but what they don’t see is how absolutely desperate Ned was to help his family survive. He felt concerned about his family so much to the point where he was willing to steal or kill just for him and his family to live
As for the accomplices, they were under the police noses, yet they were the least expected. So proudly announce the crime happened in that order; first, Lizzie saw her stepmom in the guest room and she had a little argument with her than she with the axe nineteen whacked, but before that she lacked the doors to install time to do her dead and clear her evidence by burning the dress later. The motive is hatred feeling that here stepmom making her dad a puppet. When her father came from his bank and played down on the sofa the other killer was waiting for him to take a nap then she strikes eleven whacks with the same weapon and Lizzie Borden know the killer to shows there is one killer, but luckily for the detectives she missed counted the hits and the shield from the blood was her father cote that was on his head. The killer none other than Emma Borden do to her lack of an eyewitness or details of the party like who she saw and talked to. Motives the will that her father wrote to her, fearing from changing it later. The third person was a cover-up artist who acted and worked to cover the story and play alone as a person how don’t know anything because she wants to not know anything; so, she could do her acting better; and that person was Bridget. Made like her back then had a code and that code is to keep her closest masters save and they would clean up the mess the got
The book Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot was written by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard and is based upon the life and death of the 35th President of the United States of America, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Although it is a biography of his life, it’s main subject is to describe his presidency leading up until his assassination. The book describes the hardships of his presidency both political and personal. It describes the enemies he forms while in office such as the leader of the USSR, Nikita Khrushchev, and Cuba, Fidel Castro, it also describes his difficult relationships with CIA Director Allen Dulles as well as with his own Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. The book describes the major foreign and domestic issues he faces throughout
The five victims above are the ones that are attributed to Jack the Ripper. While there were other murders during this time period, they did not showcase the same modus operandi as the murders of Mary Jane Kelly, Catherine Eddowes, Annie Chapman, Mary Ann Nichols, and Elizabeth Stride. Though many scholars have conducted cases studies, even with modern forensics analysis of the case, we are no closer to closing the case on Jack the Ripper. Because of this anonymity, he remains one of the most infamous serial killers in history.
On the day of November 22, 1963 the day started out just like any other campaigning day for president John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Shaking hands and kissing babies was just the daily norm for the president of this great nation, but it all turned south in a quick hurry… John F. Kennedy was considered by many to one of the greatest world leaders this country has ever produced, but unfortunately his life was cut short. JFK was assassinated November 22, 1963, by who some said to be Lee Harvey Oswald, a very connected man, to organizations such as the Mafia, Russian KGB, the Cubans and Castro and even the CIA. But the real question lies between the lines in the fine print. Did Oswald commit murder and assassinate the president of the United States of America? That answer we may never truly know. Many believe that Oswald was the sole murderer of JFK, while others believe completely different theories. I happen to believe in a not so common theory in which the man behind it the assassination was none other than the jealous Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson. LBJ was a dangerous man, he had many connections to mafia members, ex and current CIA members some of which had great feelings of hatred towards our president, even Johnson himself had many reason to dislike Mr. Kennedy but was LBJ really behind the murder our great president John F. Kennedy, that is what I intend to learn much more about. To better understand my theory I will give you just enough background information on some of the other common conspiracy theories, starting with the Warren Commission Report.
Jack the Ripper is one of the most well-known serial killers of the ages. Although everyone knows the name, “Jack the Ripper,” nobody really knows of his true identity. When the murder victims were found the press and the detectives could never put a name with the crime.
“Jack the Ripper”, an alias given because someone sent and signed a letter in that name, is the infamous serial killer that harmed the streets of Whitechapel district in East End London during 1888. The Ripper murdered, from what is known, at least five prostitutes in an unusual medical manner that helped provide the police with a hint that the killer might have been educated in the human anatomy (Biography.com). The killer became and remained famous for numerous reasons, one of them being that the media romanticized him. Media transformed the Ripper from a “sad killer of women” into a “bogey man”, becoming “the most romantic figures in history” (Barbee). Jack the Ripper was never caught, letting him remain as one of the world’s most infamous
...we can connect to the fear and discrimination Ned, his family, and all the Irish are feeling. We are repeatedly reminded throughout the novel of the racism the Englishman manifest. The theme of racism is effectively developed in the text as the readers can feel what Ned feels. Because of the first person point of view, this story has a certain vibe that allows us to recreate different scenes of racism Ned Kelly and all the Irish went through.
The bushranger Ned Kelly is certainly a divisive figure in Australian history. While a plethora of works dealing with the notorious outlaw have come into print, Peter Carey’s 2001 Booker Prize winning, ‘The True History of the Kelly Gang’, is certainly one of the more noteworthy. But what does the text have to say about Ned Kelly and justice? Oliver Friendship explains.
Captivating figure to this day, Ned Kelly was a man, better known as a notorious bushranger who led a gang of outlaws known as “The Kelly Gang” during the 19th Century. With the corrupt Victorian police force always on Kelly’s tail, many rumours were rife as to on who this mysterious figure that was both admired by his sympathisers but also deemed an outlaw by the government. But surely to anyone Kelly seems like an outgoing, carefree bloke, but on the contrary, he had a deep, hidden past full of pain and frustration. With modern society’s perspective Kelly’s numerous tales of daring feats, some still view him as a villain, many sources have continuously swayed the reader’s perspective. He became the hero of justice disguised as a typical Aussie
In the Simpson case, the officers did not do a very good job at securing
In London of 1888 there was an unknown serial killer that was named Jack the Ripper. The name “Jack the Ripper” originally came from a letter from someone that claimed to be the killer. The killer was also called, “the Whitechapel Murderer” and the “Leather Apron.” In this essay I will talk about the mystery of Jack the Ripper and the killings and talk about some questions, such as, who was Jack the Ripper, why did he kill those women, and all in such a similar manner, and how did he know so much about the human body.
Jack the Ripper murdered five women between the time of 31st of August 1888 and the 9th of November 1888. They were murdered within Whitechapel and Spitalfields in the East End areas of London, England. He was never caught, and because he was not there are hundreds on his personality and motives. There has been no other killers in the British history that rivaled the gruesome, disrespectful, utterly superior Jack the Ripper, a multiple murderer whose arrogance and self-assurance defied the entire police department within London and held in a great terror in a great city for as long as he cared to roam its streets and slay at will.
Jack the Ripper was a notorious serial killer even though he was only responsible for eleven killings. The reason he is most infamous is for the fact he was never identified. Jack the Ripper's killings occurred over a ten-week time span. The newspapers began to call this era the Autumn of terror. There was a man during this time who was referred to as the "leather apron." He was known for stealing money from prostitutes. This man could have been a key suspect, but unfortunately, he soon disappeared after police learned he was a man named John or Jack Pizer. According to the book, Jack the Ripper was hard to identify not only due to the lack of forensics and DNA profiling during that time period, but for the fact he never left any clues behind. Another reason for the troubles of identifying this notorious killer was that the community did not involve themselves with the police or
