A hero stealing from the wealthy to aid the poor not only addressed a deep-seated (and justified) anger over wealth concentration and inequality, it also represented something even more fundamental: hope.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When legal channels for economic mobility seemed blocked, these heroes offered a <\/strong><strong>promise that someone \u2014 or anyone \u2014 could step forward to address systemic injustice,<\/strong> even if through illegal means born of desperation.
