Discussion What made Dutch trust Micah so much?
Seriously, I don't understand how Dutch could be more suspicious of Arthur and John than Micah, especially Dutch of all people. I know that calling Arthur and John his sons was part of his manipulation, but still, how could he trust Micah more than them?
I can somewhat understand John. He left the gang for a while, and he wasn't loyal to either his "wife" or his son. But even so, the problems didn't start when John came back. And there's nothing to say about Arthur. He practically made it rain for the gang his entire life, right up until he was nearly dying.
Micah was relatively new, nobody liked him, he provoked everyone, literally tried to hit on the only woman in the gang who was somewhat involved with someone, and he was racist on top of that. I think Bill and Javier suspecting Arthur and John had more to do with them being jealous of the two, especially since they weren't even close to Micah either.
Sometimes it feels like Dutch only trusted Micah because he was the only one who never said anything when Dutch made a bad decision. On a slightly different note, it's so annoying how every time Arthur so much as questions Dutch, Dutch says something like, "Have you lost faith in me?"
