Hi everyone, sorry for the long wait, thank you very much for your feedback on my Yakuza video. If it took me so long, it's because I'm basically a French RU-vidr who tries to translate his videos into other languages in order to share my content with as many people as possible. As translation and dubbing are expensive, I had to wait a long time before I had sufficient funds to invest in this channel. As you'll see in this video, there are passages where the text is in French with English subtitles, but rest assured this won't be the case for other videos. I pride myself on the quality of my content, and hope to offer you the best possible videos. Don't hesitate to let me know in the comments what you think, I'd really appreciate it. In the meantime, I wish you happy holidays, and the next video should be out in February, so see you soon 😉.
That is very kind of to go through so much so you may give us accurate videos in our language. I took French in high school, my dream to visit France, I spent 3 years in Japan because I married a Marine, and when I got back to the states everyone was speaking Spanish...lol
When I listen to his story today, he was a hero to me. The Civil War brought a lot of suffering to the people back then, but I think the South was hit hard and I don't think it has really recovered to this day. After the war was over, the South didn't really have much luck governing itself. The Union troops were still present for a very long time and the South just didn't have a lot of opportunities to restructure its own life. I probably wouldn't have thought and acted any differently. So let's not condemn the people who did what was the only way for them to survive at the time. And what a handsome man Jesse James was, so easy on the eyes! A great documetary! Well done
Not very heroic but rather very stupid to rob banks in bright daylight without a thought through plan… apparently they didn’t even do solid reconnaissance work to check out the banks

I always wanted to be related to the James !!! I am not, but my Great Grandfather was friends with Frank James and held the horses when they robbed a bank in Texas !!!!! They actually went and picked up my Great Grandfather to look at the body they thought was Frank James, and he told them he knew it wasn’t Frank, because he was in a Motel in Dallas lol
These Pinkerton's were like the Blackwater of there time. Black mark in this countries history. It's unbelievable that they were even allowed to operate much less exist.
So you love a guy who killed innocent people for money ? Do you have massive brain damage or just very little on the standing of the subject matter ? You do get it that this man lost a war and couldn't deal with it and then killed innocent people ? He didn't kill soldiers he killed people and banks he killed civilians he killed people on trains after he took all their money. What is wrong with you ?
My great grandpas, great uncle Thomas Archer, ran with the James Gang before having his own gang in Indiana. Him and his brothers were all hung by lynch mobs in southern Indiana in the 1880s. It’s said Thomas was there with them in Kentucky and a few other ones in that area!
Not something we have any pride about btw. The tree they hung them on in Martin County Indiana is still there. The archer family had to move to the next county over to find any peace. I’m told to this day the archer name is still hated in southern Indiana. Jesse James was a piece of shit, his whole family too. But the connection is factual and not escapable.
I’m related to him he’s in my family tree along with king Alfred and many other kings and queens so theirs something to say about ambition frank james looks exactly like my dad’s uncle George James .
Sadly, this is how the government works by escalately the problem, still in practice 150 years later. Didn't check first to see who was home. This the early swat.
52:00 “The safe hadn’t been unlocked all this time” Wtf how is this sentence to be understood. What “all this time” it had not been unlocked. Since the safe was placed there?
I concur! History is to be remembered & celebrated & learned from, even the darker times in history. We live in the times where people are trying to remove & change history with lies & yes pixilating photographs that tell a story. I understand the person that made this fine show might have had to blur the photos to upload to YT, but YT is the one trying to silence people & their opinions, seems in today's America only certain beliefs are allowed to be heard. This type of silencing & taking away the first amendment from certain Americans will not end well.
Yessir because that damn mason Dixon line ran 4 counties wide right through his home state Missouri he was a Confederate gorilla, let's not include the union soldiers came through burning g farms and killing families that invited the entire situation with Frank and Jesse my ancestor stepped down from being a judge in Florida to go ride with them and was hanged for it
Why for heaven's sake is this piece so fraught with segments with heavy pixalization. All that needs to be done for those with twitchy stomachs or are bible belters is a disclaimer prior to the playing...... The pixalization fools no one, that they are dead and mangled bodies of MEN at WAR... It is my viewpoint, that it should be shown... That way, those that favor fighting see its effect.... And may in future from preventing it once more.....
