Patrick Martin said:I honestly think he pulled the trigger mostly out of pure terror. He even told someone once that Jesse James would've definitely taken them both out if he hadn't struck first.
That guy Ford is just a self-centered, unstable wreck who used Jesse's trust in the most pathetic, bootlicking way possible.
Let's not overthink this or turn it into some grand myth.

Hold on a second—what is Jesse James if not a mystified American hero? Honestly, all those figures from the Wild West are massive myths about heroism, whether you're talking about Wild Bill Hickok or, in this case, Jesse. These guys were killers, and it bothers you that he took advantage of that trust in such a slimy way? 🙏
Americans are incredibly good at turning murderers into heroes. A huge chunk of them were just outlaws and killers, but damn, they're still cool.
