They seem to be revered as modern day robin hoods
Ronnie Biggs for example has become a cult figure due to the great train robbery and defying the british justice system, they don't mention that a man died as a result of injuries caused by one of the raiders.
I think I worded my initial question wrong LazyGun
The only admirable thing there is about this, is the intelligent and intricate way that it was thought out, the way it was planned to the smallest detail and executed, and the way they will probably dispose of the money. Planning something like this is an artform of a kind, trying to cover your tracks completely is no easy thing, but the carrying out of it is far from admirable, its a crime and criminals should not be applauded or admired for their actions in any way.
Although I can`t condone robbery, I have to admire their skill and cunning. Everything they planned slipped into place and it seems like a typical hollywood script and we all enjoy them so when it happens in real life there is an immediate sense of awe. It is also nice to note that they didn`t injure or kill in their pursuit of fortune, as so many feel the need to do these days. IF they are ever caught, I am sure they will be treated as gods in prison and I dare say a few coppers are secretely impressed aswell.
Two people are now being held by Police in connection with the robbery. Could this be "round up the usual suspects", or have our brave investigators been clever for once. There again it could be a carefully engineered smoke screen laid by the robbers to lead the Police astray.
I can't help following this story with a mixture of admiration and amusement. Of course, what the robbers did was wrong (ahem!) but them my approval or disapproval will not affect the outcome one bit, so I feel free to shed crocodile tears for the banks, and not so secretly hope that the thieves have fun trying to spend the money and keeping out of the way of the cops.
"ALL"? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO ACCUSE ME OF "ADMIRING" A BUNCH OF VICIOUS RUTHLESS VIOLENT CRIMINALS?!?!?
Shut up, go away and kill yourself, you pathetic miserable scum! I do not and will not accept such offensive libellous accusations being made against me!!! Go away and never cast your filthy disgusting shadow over this website again!

Nobody died as a result of injuries sustained in the so-called Great Train Robbery. The train guard who was assaulted during the robbery went back to work the next day, and his death from cancer 7 years latyer was (according to the coroner at his inquest) totally unrelated.
