Question about the legality of Robin Hood.

Asked by fluthernutter (6333points) April 30th, 2014 from iPhone

If he robs from the Rich to give to the Poor; are the Poor legally obligated to return it to the Rich?

What about moral obligations?

It’s a popularity ponsi scheme

Knowingly receiving stolen property is a crime. To not report it would make one an accessory.
It is also immoral to receive stolen property. So there you go both ways.

The rich have stolen it from the poor to begin with, so Robin Hood is not really a thief, he is a RePo man

The rich control the product, the means of production and the raw materials necessary to manufacture the product. Since the poor have to purchase goods from them to survive so the poor will eventually return it to the rich.

Doesn’t this happen in the middle ages or something? Whether or not the poor use things given to them by the rich, which were stolen by Robin Hood, they will all get mistreated and slaughtered by the rich, either way. Might as well go out with a belly full of rum.

@Symbeline Just what the rich rum distiller would want you to do! Robin is on his payroll

Not to mention he has a pervert monk as one of his gang, Triar Fuck…dirty bugger.
Also, Disney made Robin a fox, shoulda picked a magpie or someone from Liverpool perhaps.

The Sheriff of Nottingham seemed to think it was illegal, which probably means it was OK.

Where is Robin Hood today when we need him?

@flutherother
Where ever he is, he is no doubt being called a filthy commie.
