Did he deserve it?

>do wet work for the goverment
>know full well you're a loose end
>stay in town anyway
yes he deserved it, he's an idiot.

Yes. He lived like a nigger so he died like a nigger. Being forced to work for glowies is justice for his victims

John never claimed to be a smart man

yes

>>715852553
I feel like he accepted his inevitable end

>>715852351 (OP)
idk
but if it was me in that barn, it wouldn't have gone down that way

>>715852351 (OP)
That depends how you played the game :^)

>>715852351 (OP)
All enforcers (and Strauss) of the Van dir Linde gang ruined so many lives over the years that the question is frankly rhetorical anon

>>715852351 (OP)
An execution like that? No, but at the very least, he probably should have gone to prison or something. Forcing him to remain as a government hitman might have been a happier, albeit bittersweet ending.

>>715852351 (OP)
Yes.
He is a mass murderer and a thief. Literal scum of the earth alongside every other member of Dutch's gang.
That doesn't just go away because he became le heckin' wholesome family man who does dirty work for the government.

Nobody deserves getting strawberry jam thrown at them.

RDR2 is not canon

>>715852351 (OP)
yes

>>715866052
He literary said in RDR1 that they killed people they didn't like and kidnapped.

he had every opportunity in the world to just blow the heads off all the glowies once his family was handed over, and go live in canada or something, but he didn't.

>RDR1 implies John's gang really STABBED HIM IN THE BACK and BETRAYED him
>Play RDR2
>John got shot and fell off a train during a train heist and the other gang members on the train didn't immediately drop everything, try to disembark a moving train, and go back for him because what the fuck were they even supposed to do at that point

>>715866282
only arthur, sadie and charles would have ever broken him out of prison. and uncle i guess.

>us army sent for one man
john really was a force to be reckoned with

>>715866640
To be fair this is post Indian-Wars Pre-WW1 US army. It's like 5 dudes.

>>715852553
Him being a fucking idiot was well established in the prologue where he just walked up to the front gate of Bill's motherfucking FORT.

>>715866885
It was his old friend and Bill was a goofy character last time he saw him not a certified rapist.

>>715866052
If anything pre rdr2 the van der linde gang was portrayed 10 times worse than it was in the next game.
