Edward Kelly a was an Australian bushranger, outlaw, gang leader and convicted police-murderer. One of the last bushrangers, he is known for wearing a suit of bulletproof armour during his final shootout with the police.
In the century after his death, Kelly became a cultural icon, inspiring numerous works in the arts and popular culture, and is the subject of more biographies than any other Australian. Kelly continues to cause division in his homeland: some celebrate him as Australia's equivalent of Robin Hood, while others regard him as a murderous villain undeserving of his folk hero status. Journalist Martin Flanagan wrote: "What makes Ned a legend is not that everyone sees him the same-it's that everyone sees him. Like a bushfire on the horizon casting its red glow into the night."

His biggest crime is that due to timeline and geography he couldn't be in Call of Juarez: Gunslinger 😅
Finally, as an Australian i am pleased to finally have representation, especially a criminal
If the guy was a mix of Australian and Irish, he was practically required to hate authority, especially if they were shady a.f
Fun fact: the first "feature length" piece of film was about Ned Kelly
This whole story just makes me mad that we'll never see that level of class solidarity against the pigs ever again. 😢
Don't know if anyone has said this but the police helmet straps are worn under the lip to stop attackers sneaking up behind and strangling them with their own helmet, the helmet just falls off instead.
Australian here, Good job D.K on this episode! You got pretty much everything on point, but a few little extra details. The Kelly's were an Irish Catholic family in a Protestant English colony, which may have also been another factor of their mistreatment. The Victorian government had also been fair brutal and corrupt for decades, riding high on the 2000 tonnes of gold from the gold fields and their mismanagement of mining licenses had caused riots and the famous Eureka Stockade of 1854. And yes Bricky, Australia was a convict colony, because after the American Revolution they couldn't ship their problems to the US anymore and took it as an opportunity to concrete their claim by colonizing Australia it before the Dutch, Spanish or Portuguese could.
"Such is life" is my absolute favorite last words of all time. What an icon that Ned Kelly!
Finally, the spirit animal of my home state.
Doing a Ned Kelly episode, and going live before dawn Sydney time, sounds about right.
I'm realizing that Red Dead Redemption 2 has a Ned Kelley reference, in which you get to use Ned's flak armor; and when asking about what it is and how it works the response is basically "I don't know, it's Australian and if it works for them it works for us"
DK, thank you for saying Melbourne instead of Mel-borne.
The whole story reminds me of Blackbeard's last words in AC Blackflag
"This sounds like the Australian version of fuck the police"
"Such is life."

When describing geography, when DK says Australia, substitute Victoria. He keeps mixing up the state for the country. Like the middle of Virginia is very different from the middle of the US.
The Beechworth gaol (the prison he was hung in) is now a tourist attraction that you can get tours for and I believe they have Ned Kelly's death mask in there that you can go see. For those who don't know, a death mask is made by covering a dead person's face in plaster and letting it harden so it kinda preserves their likeness. You can see the imprint the rope made on Ned's neck on the mask itself. It's neat in a morbid way.
There should be a back-to-back where the next video is on the Killdozer. (if it hasn't been done already)
