Honestly, how could John do anything different. He knew what he got himself into. He knew what his Redemption was (working for 'the man' while getting used). 'The Man' was who he oweded a blood debet to. He was a bad guy (as he learned MUCH later on in life while going through all the trials and tribulations of RDRedemption). John knew... He KNEW what he deserved. Being guned down by the law was his only fate and he KNEW it.

I know this will cause many to hate this comment, but John KNEW what his fate was. He KNEW he could not outrun the law, even after working with them, he KNEW they would get him in the end. He met his fate like a man, like John Marston was SUPPOSED TO. He went out fighting and he knew it was the end. He had hoped that he had gotten his wife and child out of the way of any harm that his past life would cause, AND HE DID! Abby and Jack were safe to live the life they could make forthemselves based on what he built in the last years of his life. John did WHAT HE COULD, but he ultimatly didn't have much to give other than making an honest wife of Abby and the few weeks he had for Jack. It wasn't much, but it was John's Redemption. Abby and Jack had Breachers Hope and John made what he could of it with what little time he had left. Honestly, John knew what was comming. That is WHY John faced his fate, he knew his family could never escape it while he was alive.

SAD story. But such is the story of John Marston as told in Red Dead Redemption. A story well told (sad as it was).
