"Pancho was a bandit boy His horse was fast as polished steel He wore his gun outside his pants For all the honest world to feel

Pancho met his match you know On the deserts down in Mexico Nobody heard his dying words Ah but that's the way it goes

All the Federales say They could have had him any day They only let him slip away Out of kindness, I suppose"

>Pancho Villa

given his role in taking down Diaz and then Huerta depending on one's political views at the time, plus his (probably untrue) reputation as a robin hood alledgedly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, cat and mouse game with Teddy Roosevelt, legendary ability to traverse the country undetected, and relationship with national icon Zapata, he's been made a household name in Mexico, some admire him, some disown him.

murders, progressive legislature, extortion, freedom fighting, political crimes, borderline terrorism etc...

Typically descendants of the rich (at the time) see him as a Bandit, and descendants of the poor (at the time) see him as a Hero, but that's me generalizing, there's nuances for sure.

As the title says, controversial
But no-one can argue, an absolute unit and menace to society lol.
