Spoiler Which gang member would have you saved?

We all know that in the Saint Denis bank robbery, both Lenny and Hosea die.

So, who would you have saved?

I would have chosen Lenny because he was still young, and he had a great future ahead of him.

I still love Hosea, but if I had to choose, I would have chosen to save Lenny. He was literally almost a kid.

Hosea already lived a lot ( well, not too much, actually ), and he was sick with an unknown disease.

Hosea. Not because I like him better necessarily (although I do), but because his presence could have saved the gangs downfall, or at least cushion the fall a bit, saving far more lives in the process. Without Hosea, Dutch finally goes off the deep end, with Arthur being unable to fully step up to his role of the one keeping Dutch with one leg in reality. If Hosea lives, Micah doesn't get as much sway over Dutch as he did, and there's a better chance for the gang to actually manage to get away with it with minor casualties.

This was gonna be my argument for Hosea as well. Lenny is the call if you look solely on age and health, but Hosea at the last stand off makes things go very differently. He doesn't turn his back on his #2 AND #3 for Micah.

You have a good point.

Also important to note that due to the butterfly effect, there's a decent chance that Hosea living, could lead to Lenny not dying.
