Whitey Bulger dead

Oh shit! Somebody did kill him!!!

Really he got killed. Karma. Good riddance

I'm not saying someone actually killed him, from a conspiracy point of view, I believe he was silenced

Maybe it was like father geoghan were the guy ran in his cell and just stomp him to pancakes

Why kill an 89 year old man in jail? Unless he was gonna rat it doesn't seem like a good move.

Three people briefed on the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a fellow inmate with Mafia ties was being investigated for the slaying of the 89-year-old Bulger at the US Penitentiary Hazelton.

Three potential reasons:

Reason 1 - He obviously pissed a lot of people off when he was on the streets. He may have killed someone and the victim may have had a family member locked up who wanted revenge.

Reason 2 - Regardless of whether you think he was an actual snitch, or simply used Connolly for protection and never gave him real info, he was still considered a snitch by many people.

Reason 3 - Some young punk may simply have wanted some street cred for taking out a street legend. Simple as that.

Rat. Women killer. Skinner. Nop moe he can die. No flowers for him

What credibility could one possibly derive from murdering an 89 year old man? It's a bitch move.

What credibility could one possibly derive from murdering an 89 year old man? It's a bitch move.

Not saying it makes sense. But in demented street logic, that 89 year old man was one of the most famous gangsters in US history. He was the subject of countless books and a movie starring Johnny Depp. Killing him cements the killer's name in the streets... again trying to think like a low-level hood/ or a mob associate trying to make a name for themselves.

This does not add up as a typical prison killing. He's transferred, then killed a day later. Not a good look for the federal prison system.

Woah! I thought you loved gangsters. Is this really pmac?

article talking about the beating. Mentions the 3 had mafia ties.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...bars.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus

Law enforcement sources tell DailyMail.com that Whitey had been talking about outing people in the FBI – people in the top echelon of the informant program.

The sources said he hadn't even been processed at the West Virginia facility when he was killed. But someone who knew he was being transferred put the word out - the killer had to know he was coming.

It may not be a coincidence that Rep. Stephen Lynch is from Southie, Bulger's old turf. The Massachusetts Democrat last year introduced the Confidential Informant Accountability Act - which calls for congressional oversight into the selection and use of confidential informants. It's possible that Bulger was set to open up to someone on Lynch's team with claims of abuses in the program, and word got out.

Bulger's brother John told the on Tuesday that the family had not yet been notified of his death.

Meanwhile, a fellow inmate with Mafia connections is being investigated in the homicide, three sources briefed on the investigation told the Globe.

Sounds like an old beef being settled. He had a lot of enemies.

I dont think anybody us bad as jace lol. Anyway like you said good riddance

If what some people are saying is true and he had his eyes gouged out etc. then that's absolutely inexcusable on the part of whoever did it.

Shooting someone is one thing but at least it's an impersonal and perfunctory method of killing another criminal. Gouging etc. is more like what a serial killer with bad brain wiring would do

.

Rumor is it was the Mafia who killed him. One thing is sure about the Mob and it stands true, no matter how long it takes they will be patient to get revenge.

Yes, I heard this as well. Apparently it was someone connected to the Italians. I have no idea if there's any truth to this though or if it's just people talking. Are there any known LCN members locked up at USP Hazelton?

He gave up a lot of info on the Italians in Boston back in the 80s right?

Do you think it has to do with the fact that he started talking about the CIA MK-Ultra drug experimentation on him? ...

There are so many suspicious things about his life since he'd been a fugitive. Walking around Santa Monica like Jack Tripper for all those years. Out of nowhere, he's suddenly arrested. The timeline since then makes his arrest seem more suspicious than his time on the lam. Everyone knew why he was free all of that time. You don't even have to be a beginners' level conspiracy theorist. It's the arrest that's puzzling. Why then? Then he's killed at age 89. As someone said earlier, there are snitches with as much notoriety as him walking around without a care in the world, like Gravano. I don't buy it was revenge for the snitching or anything like that. So, what does that leave? What is the one remaining threat he could pose to anyone?

There are how many rats in that prison and he chooses an 89 year old as his victim.

Real tough guy.

He couldn't have found a 44 year old rat or something?

Supposedly Bulger's lawyer had been fighting for a transfer for several months because he was ill and wanted to get out of solitary confinement

Well, it's a good news bad news situation.

He got out of solitary confinement but he's dead as shit.

guess this is a good look from the springfield crew get the back some clout. but 2 made guys thar ratted im pretty sure refused witsec and went back to western ma. im mean the news and press are running as mafia payback but i have a feeling since this guy freddy isnt a made guy or italian he might have joined some white prison gang. oh yaeh tmz said his head was cave in or lumpy. gross. why the fuck wasnt bulger in a prison hospital? if a family member comes forth they have a nice lawsuit. doubt they will.

How the fuck any of you on here saying you feel sorry about this piece of shits demise truly amazes me. This guy was the worst of the worst without having to go into why because we all know Whitey Bulger. This is the best ending we could've asked for.

Good friend was a bartender in Santa Monica and whitey was there alot, a dive bar and was kind of hiding out in plain site when he was at the bar but my buddy knew and some regulars knew who he was despite the disguise

Bulger was a piece of shit who deserved his fate many times over. I am with Oak and a few others on this. BOP has a lot of explaining to do. To me I have two hypotheses. 1. Someone reached out to someone in the BOP to get this done and paid a good chunk of money to have this happen. 2. Someone in BOP or LE pulled strings to get this done for a personal vendetta. SoCal, is right when he says COs have let certain individuals slip through the cracks and end up hurt or dead. If it is the second case, then that is a big problem, cause what is there preventing it from happening to someone else? The COs, did not lay a finger on him but they are accountable for what happened to Bulger.
He was in Oklahoma, then went to Coleman II in Florida and not long after that, he was transferred to West Virginia. What got to me was the pictures showing his time in Coleman II right before he was transferred. He looked like a broken old man. His Oklahoma to Florida pictures showed he was indeed sick, but not to the state he looked like from his Florida to West Virginia. That raised alarms to me as he was only in Florida for a short time, and as I had said in the other thread, Coleman II is not known for that even with his illness. 6 to 8 months in Florida, then transferred to West Virginia? Something does not seem right to me.

No way, none of them would not turn Whitey in for the reward money that was being offered!

Take this for what it’s worth...

A member on BH said he saw on Twitter that supposedly he was wheeled into a corner where there were no cameras and 3 guys beat him with a slock and gouged out his eyes with a shiv.

Another poster said he heard the same thing.

A slock is a lock in a sock. Anything solid inside of a sock is a common prison weapon. Hard soap, canned goods, etc. have also been known to be used.

I don't feel sorry for him. I'm just not one of those guys who gets a perverse satisfaction out of the sordid details of what happened to him. And no, I don't think he deserved to be sadistically tortured. I don't think anybody does. It's what separates us from animals. As I said, shooting is bad but it's impersonal and not drawn out. A frenzied stabbing is bad but it's impulsive and quick. What apparently happened to Bulger is like something budding serial killers would get kicks watching in the darkest recesses of the internet.

Bulger got his legally meted punishment. Slowly rotting in prison for the end of his days. Why should some other jagoff who has never contributed anything to society and who has caused his own untold pain to other families be the arbiter of Bulger's punishment? Why should he get to play God?

People acting as if guys like Geas deserve to be on a higher pedestal than people like Bulger just because "they ain't a rat" or they "didn't break the street code" is the same kind of nonsense credo guys like the AB or KKK live their life by. Guys with single digit IQ's thinking they are better than black people or Jews just because they are white or Christian.

Shit like what happened to Bulger is why you don't give criminals a pulpit to preach morals and ethics.

No way, none of them would not turn Whitey in for the reward money that was being offered!

Good point Mikey...Rememeber the movie "Bad Boys" w/Sean Penn where he beat the dude w/ a towel full of soda cans??

Freddy Geas has restored my faith in humanity. I hope everyone recognizes what has happened here. Good people still exist.

Here here, I only wish that there was a way for him to be killed exactly the same way again, being beaten to death once wasn't enough in my opinion.

Bulger got his legally meted punishment. Slowly rotting in prison for the end of his days.

How can you be satisfied with that? You do realize he was caught at the age of 82? This is a man who already lived his life.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crim...-what-we-know/ar-BBP7FdL?ocid=spartanntp

Paul Weadick is housed there, lol.

I don't think he deserved to be sadistically tortured. I don't think anybody does. It's what separates us from animals.

Yeah I have a hard time believing that A, any of the bartenders or regulars would be able to recognize Whitey and B, that none of these guys thought it would be worth the million bucks in reward money to alert the feds to this.

not saying you're lying merlino it just seems highly unlikely.

Giacomo, anywhere we can see those pictures?

Old Mass. grudge may have been factor in Bulger’s slaying

By Kevin Cullen and Shelley Murphy. November 01, 2018

When James “Whitey” Bulger, the infamous octogenarian Boston gangster, arrived at his new prison digs in West Virginia on Monday, he was probably tired from his long trip from a transit stop in Oklahoma, but he wouldn’t necessarily have been nervous.

It’s unclear whether US Bureau of Prisons officials who made the decision to transfer Bulger to the US Penitentiary Hazelton and place him in the prison’s general population, despite a recent spate of violence there and complaints of chronic understaffing, were aware that Bulger should have been concerned.

Lurking in those cell blocks were at least two organized crime figures from Massachusetts, one of whom, Fotios “Freddy” Geas, had a particular reason to dislike Bulger.

As the Globe reported Tuesday, Geas is one of the suspects whom authorities believe beat Bulger to death at the prison in Bruceton Mills, W.Va., on Tuesday morning, less than 24 hours after his arrival at the prison.

People who know Geas say he hated informants and, as a longtime informant for the FBI, Bulger would have earned his animus. But the animus may have been more personal: Geas, according to his former lawyer, believed that Bulger had helped frame one of his friends for murder.

Because Bureau of Prisons officials have refused to answer questions about Bulger’s murder, it remains unclear why the presence in Hazelton’s general population of Geas and at least one other Massachusetts organized crime figure, Paul Weadick, didn’t set off alarm bells that this was not a safe place for the elderly hood. Two months ago, Weadick and former New England Mafia boss Francis “Cadillac Frank” Salemme were sentenced in US District Court in Boston to life in prison for the 1993 murder of a South Boston nightclub owner. Weadick’s lawyer said Wednesday he is not a suspect in Bulger’s death.

Salemme hates Bulger and testified against Bulger’s corrupt FBI handler, John Connolly, who is serving a 40-year sentence for helping Bulger commit a murder.

Law enforcement sources say the possibility that Salemme might be sent to the Florida prison where Bulger had been held for about four years was among the myriad reasons Bulger was transferred out to Hazelton. Those sources said there was another factor behind the transfer: a series of incidents at the US Penitentiary Coleman II in Sumterville, Fla., culminating with a verbal exchange with a prison staff member who considered it threatening.

Those same law enforcement sources couldn’t explain why Bulger, who at 89 was in failing health and used a wheelchair, was not initially placed in isolation when he arrived at Hazelton, so prison officials could assess whether any of the other 1,277 inmates being held there posed a threat to him.

In a statement, Bulger’s former lawyer J.W. Carney Jr. blamed the Bureau of Prisons for Bulger receiving what amounted to “the death penalty.”

Geas had layers of possible motives to go after Bulger, if he did.

He was friendly with and served time at a Massachusetts prison with Frederick Weichel, who spent 36 years in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. Weichel had long maintained that Bulger had helped frame him and had been reluctant to provide information that could help prove his innocence in the 1980 murder of Robert LaMonica in Braintree.

After years of refusing to help, and after his 2011 capture after spending 16 years on the run, Bulger finally supplied a series of letters to Weichel’s lawyers in 2013 that suggested another man killed LaMonica. However, Bulger refused to sign an affidavit or testify on Weichel’s behalf, as Weichel and his defense team had repeatedly requested.

Last year, after Weichel was released and a judge ordered a new trial in his case, prosecutors said they would not retry him for the murder. In an interview Wednesday, Weichel confirmed that he and Geas were friends. Weichel said he doesn’t think he talked to Geas about Bulger during their time together at the state prison in Shirley, but added, “I think everybody in the world knew that Whitey screwed me.”

Weichel said he was surprised that Bulger was moved to the same prison as Geas and Weadick.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a setup,” he said. “That’s a lot of coincidences there. I don’t believe in coincidences.”

Daniel D. Kelly, a Springfield lawyer who represented Geas and remains friendly with him, said Geas talked repeatedly about what he considered a miscarriage of justice in Weichel’s case.

“He referenced that [Weichel] was framed,” said Kelly.

Kelly said he had no idea whether Geas was involved in Bulger’s murder, but said the Globe report citing law enforcement officials saying that Geas wouldn’t identify the other person who helped in the attack on Bulger rang true.

“Freddie [Geas] was a standup guy, the last of the Mohicans,” said Kelly.

Geas is serving a life sentence for two murders, including the 2003 assassination of Adolfo “Big Al” Bruno, who led the Mafia in Springfield. Geas was ordered to arrange the assassination by Anthony Arillotta, the ambitious Mafia soldier who wanted to replace Bruno. Kelly said that even after Arillotta and the shooter agreed to testify against Geas, Geas refused an offer to cooperate that would reduce his sentence.

“He turned it down in two seconds flat,” said Kelly.

Attorney Mark W. Shea, who represents Weadick, said Weadick was not a suspect in Bulger’s murder. Shea thought it was “strange” that Weadick and Bulger both ended up at Hazelton within days of each other.

Shea said Weadick is appealing his conviction and had no motive to kill Bulger. Shea viewed Bulger’s slaying as “a despondent act of someone with nothing left to lose, and that’s not how I view Paul Weadick.”

In the first five years of a life sentence that Bulger had spent in federal prisons since his 2013 conviction for a litany of crimes including 11 murders, he apparently had little to fear.

He had been treated more as a celebrity than a pariah. Aside from an incident in 2014 at the US Penitentiary Tucson, where he received a minor scratch on his head when another inmate attacked him in his cell, Bulger appeared to have been left alone by other inmates, most of whom would rather pose for pictures with him than hurt him.

That did not stop Bulger from getting in trouble repeatedly. He was transferred from Arizona to Florida after he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a prison psychologist. In 2015, he was placed in solitary confinement after prison officials accused him of masturbating in his cell, which is forbidden under prison rules.

No one is tracking the dark news from Hazelton more closely than Bulger’s victims.

Victor Davis, whose 26-year-old sister, Debra, was murdered, allegedly by Bulger and his sidekick Stephen Flemmi, said he took no solace in Bulger’s murder.

“I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I think with the government and this case anything is possible,” he said. “But in this case, I think it was just a guy who wanted to be known as the guy who killed Whitey Bulger.”

James ‘Whitey’ Bulger’s slaying is talk of small W.Va. town near prison where he was killed

The Boston Globe · by Maria Cramer - Reporter · October 31, 2018

BRUCETON MILLS, W.Va. — Gabrielle Hanks was driving into town with her son Tuesday morning when she saw an ambulance heading toward the federal penitentiary, its sirens off but lights flashing.

“I told my son, ‘Something happened at the prison,’ ” Hanks said.

At the Mill Place Restaurant, the cook burst into the kitchen with the gruesome tidings: The country’s most famous geriatric gangster had been offed a 10-minute drive away.

They were talking about it at the Family Dollar store and at the flower shop: James “Whitey” Bulger, the gangster whose story they know from films and television, was beaten to death at the federal prison nearby.

“We didn’t know he was even there — didn’t have a clue,” said Sue Wolfe, the owner of Country Stems & Petals Floral, in the postage-stamp-sized downtown about seven miles away from US Penitentiary Hazelton, where Bulger was found dead Tuesday morning.

The tale of Bulger has always been a sordid story about Boston, with an intermission in California, where he lived an old man’s life on the lam. But Tuesday, the saga came to an end in an unexpected place: Bruceton Mills, W.Va., shocking a tiny town tucked next to the Cheat River.

“This guy, he’s taken other people’s lives. He didn’t belong here. He just didn’t belong here,” said Hanks, the manager of Pine Run Service Center, a gas and food depot, a quarter-mile from the facility. “They made sure of that.”

The cashier at Pine Run, Tyler Imes, said she spoke with a guard whose roommate, another officer, had seen Bulger’s body.

“He said they did a real number on him,” said Imes, 23. The guard told her Bulger had only been in the facility for 11 hours before he was killed.

On Wednesday, the road leading toward the Federal Correctional Complex was blocked off with barricades, and a group of at least seven officers, most wearing bulletproof vests and snug black beanies, stood guard. The complex is just off the highway, across from a hotel whose guests mostly come on the weekends, during visiting hours at the prison.

The officers at the penitentiary call the prison “Misery Mountain,” said John Driscoll, a retired 68-year-old produce warehouse manager who now works at Pine Run.

“They’re very understaffed,” Driscoll said. “I’ve heard a couple guards say they’re working too many hours of overtime.”

The depot is popular with the correction officers who come in during shift changes. At lunchtime, it’s typically bustling with guards snacking on pizza, potato soup, and cheeseburgers. But the place was unusually quiet Wednesday.

Guards who wanted to put in a food order had called Wednesday night and asked Imes, the cashier, if any reporters were nosing around the place, asking questions. She told them yes, and the officers steered clear.

Imes, who is originally from Wisconsin, said the area around the prison is quiet, a place for hunting and riding four-wheelers.

“This is a real simple place,” agreed Hanks, who moved to the area three-and-a-half years ago from Virginia. “People here are good people. If you break down at the side of the road, within 10 minutes someone is going to pull over to help you. They’ll go out of their way to help you.”

The killing was a front-page story in The Dominion Post — “Infamous Gangster Killed at Hazelton” — along with an article about a man who admitted to strangling a 13-year-old cat. The paper was folded neatly on the counter at The Mill Place Restaurant in Bruceton Mills.

“We were like, of course Hazelton gets put in the paper for something like this,” said Amber Friend, 36, a waitress there.

Bruceton Mills and the Hazelton prison are closely intertwined, and prison guards come downtown for haircuts or drinks at a smoky bar with a single pool table called the Post Office Lounge. The prison is a source of jobs in the area, along with places like Allegheny Wood Products, the area’s farms, and mining.

It can also be a source of unease, with headlines about killings — there were already two this year at the prison, before Bulger — and complaints over staffing shortages.

“We’ve been reading about how they’re short on staff, but I didn’t realize they were that short,” Friend said. Still, she added, her cousin works there and likes it: “He knew that he was helping out by being there, watching, protecting.”

Others around town were processing how close they had been to what happened.

Rick Liller, 62, a Jehovah’s Witness who runs a maintenance business, said he had been inside the maximum-security part of the prison Tuesday morning, where he was leading a group of prisoners in a session about “being courageous in a world that has basically gone crazy.”

“I went in there as usual to conduct my group,” Liller said, before a prison chaplain interrupted the session about 15 minutes in. “He says we have to pack it up, everything’s going on lock-down.”

At the time, Liller said, he was told the lock-down was happening because two inmates were found somewhere they were not supposed to be. It was only later that his wife, Rebecca, called to tell him a mobster had been killed in the prison.

James ‘Whitey’ Bulger’s fatal beating: ‘He was unrecognizable’

The inmates who killed James “Whitey” Bulger, Boston’s notorious crime boss, deliberately moved out of view of surveillance cameras in a West Virginia prison before pummeling him with a padlock that was stuffed inside a sock, law enforcement officials said Wednesday, as investigations began into how such a murder could have taken place in a supposedly secure facility.

Despite the attackers’ efforts to hide, officials said, cameras caught video images of at least two inmates rolling Bulger, 89, who was in a wheelchair, into a corner where the attack took place. Bulger was bleeding profusely when he was found by prison authorities at 8:20 Tuesday morning. Guards immediately undertook lifesaving measures, officials said, but he was pronounced dead.

A prison official identified one of the suspects as Fotios “Freddy” Geas, 51, a Mafia hit man from West Springfield, Massachusetts. He is serving a life sentence at the Hazelton penitentiary in West Virginia for the 2003 killing of the leader of the Genovese crime family in Springfield.

Daniel Kelly, who has represented Geas for many years, said in an interview that he had no idea whether his client was involved in killing Bulger, who was an informant for the FBI, a relationship he manipulated as a cover while he betrayed and murdered rival gang members.

But Kelly did say that Geas “has a particular distaste for cooperators.” Kelly said Geas’ feelings about informants were so strong that when he was given a chance to avoid a life sentence by cooperating with authorities, he did not take it.

Bulger’s death, within hours of his arrival at the prison, raised numerous questions. Bulger, a longtime federal informer and a prolific killer over several decades, knew many who would want him dead. But how was he left vulnerable to a beating so forceful that it displaced his eyeballs?

“I’m not surprised that he got hit; I’m surprised that they let him get hit,” said Ed Davis, the former Boston police commissioner.

Bulger’s eyes appeared to have been dislodged from his head, although it was unclear whether his attackers gouged them out or if they were knocked out because he was beaten so severely in the attack. This information was relayed by a senior law enforcement official who oversees organized crime cases but is not involved in the investigation into Bulger’s death, and who said he had learned it from a federal official.

“They apparently tuned him up to the point where he was unrecognizable,” he said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.

Officials said the beating was carried out at least in part with a padlock-stuffed sock, a not uncommon method that inmates use to attack one another.

At least two inmates were quickly sent to solitary confinement after Bulger was found, according to three employees of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, who requested anonymity because the investigation was not public. Geas was among those sent to solitary, according to prison documents obtained by The New York Times.

Davis, the former police commissioner, said he was baffled that the prison had not done more to keep Bulger “away from a convicted organized crime hit man from Massachusetts.”

The U.S. attorney’s office in West Virginia said Wednesday that it and the FBI were investigating Bulger’s death as a homicide. It had no further comment.

Bulger was serving two life terms in prison for his role in 11 murders committed when he controlled the Boston underworld over several decades.

He was killed after being in Hazelton for less than 12 hours, after he was transferred from another facility. By then, he had already established a record of troubling activity in other prisons.

At the Coleman prison complex in Florida in September 2014, he was disciplined multiple times, including once for masturbating in front of a male staff member and once, in February, for threatening a female medical staff member, according to the prison documents.

In February, Bulger told the female staff member that her day of reckoning was coming, according to a prison official with knowledge of the event. Bulger was sent to solitary confinement as a result and remained there until October when he was transferred to a facility in Oklahoma, according to the documents. On October 29, he was transferred to Hazelton.

Documents indicated he was transferred to Hazelton because he had completed medical treatment, not for disciplinary reasons.

But Bulger was said to be in questionable health. He was in a wheelchair for several years, according to Henry Brennan, one of his lawyers.

“He could stand up by himself, but he could not walk,” Brennan said in an interview Wednesday. “He was looking forward to getting out of solitary confinement to try to teach himself how to walk again.”

Brennan said Bulger damaged his hip during his two years of pretrial incarceration in solitary confinement.

“He was continuously falling off the bed and injuring his hip,” Brennan said, adding that his inability to exercise also contributed to several health problems.

In his younger years, Bulger was a fitness fanatic who obsessed over taking care of his body and keeping in top physical condition.

Many in Boston, particularly in Bulger’s old stomping grounds in South Boston, were relieved at the news that the long, deadly saga of Bulger finally appeared over.

An 85-year-old man named Ed, who did not want to give his last name because he said he knew one of Bulger’s brothers and did not want to alienate him, spoke for many when he said Bulger’s death represented a kind of justice.

“I hate to be morbid, but knowing the way of person he was, it’s probably a long time coming, seeing that he was responsible for so many other families’ and people’s misery over the years,” he said as he walked around Boston Harbor’s Castle Island, where Bulger frequently strolled with his associates.

“There’s an old saying, ‘What goes around comes around,’” he added.

Many of the families of Bulger’s victims did not hide their glee.

“All I really wanted to do was get that Champagne bottle and pop that cork,” said Patricia Donahue, whose husband, Michael Donahue, was killed in a shooting linked to Bulger in 1982. Michael Donahue was giving a ride to his neighbor, Edward “Brian” Halloran, an FBI informant who had implicated Bulger in a murder, when he was killed in a spray of bullets intended for Halloran.

“It’s been a long time waiting,” Patricia Donahue said. “Now my family can relax a little bit, now that we don’t have to worry about hearing his name all the time.”

Steven Davis, the brother of Debra Davis — whom Bulger was said by his former associate, Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi, to have strangled to death in 1981 — also said he was pleased.

For one thing, he said, Bulger’s killing would provide a suitable ending to a nonfiction miniseries that he and Donahue are helping to develop, based on the transcripts of Bulger’s trial.

“He died the way I hoped he always was going to die,” Davis said.

I've said it before but Freddy & Ty were the real deal. I grew up 5 minutes from them and now in West Virginia working not too far from that prison.

3 murders in last 6month. I no there was a riot in sc state prison that killed like 8. Thats a bad prison. I always thought leavenworth was the worst. Read a book hell house or hot house that place was nuts in 80tys

Now, let's look at this fro a different angle . They said when they captured whitey and Catherine, they had 30 weapons stashed and 800,000 cash, my question is this, did whitey still have people that was loyal to him in the streets??? How did he sustain his lifestyle on the run?

Paul J. DeCologero, a member of a notorious North Shore organized crime group...

What group exactly? A mob crew connected to Boston or unaffiliated criminals, like those infamous heist crews from the 80’s?

Perfect way for him to go out....fuckin movies couldnt have been more cinematic w/ the eyes&tongue..... Little Paul was gonna get released in like 8 more years-wonder how that's gonna look. Bulger was a fuck 6 ways to Sunday but no way do I forfeit the rest of my life to end his.

tmz lied. whitey's eyes and tongue were knot cut out. tmz is full of s***, the whole story of whitey's death is b.s. whitey probably died of natural causes. never believ the official media narrative. tmz is the worst it's toatal propaganda disguised as entertainment. tmz pushes the g*y agenda and are the reason our kids become wannabe thugs or g*y. tmz promotes filth,and Harvey Levin is 100x's moar dangerous than poor old Whitey Bulger.

He got setup by the government

This is my final say on whitey was a snitch he knew from 1974 75 when he found out flemmi wasnt jailed with salemmi for blowing up the lawyer of rat barboza. He went from 1975ish to almost 1990 well the feds crushed the lcn around boston and even the winter hill. He waa firends with lcn guys look at pics he dressed just luke them pinky diamond ring and all. Joe russo put him with winter hill. But they never gave a heads up.

But geas didnt it anuff howie carr sent him 100 dollars for canteen. Crazy.

tmz lied. whitey's eyes and tongue were knot cut out. tmz is full of s***, the whole story of whitey's death is b.s. whitey probably died of natural causes. never believ the official media narrative. tmz is the worst it's toatal propaganda disguised as entertainment. tmz pushes the g*y agenda and are the reason our kids become wannabe thugs or g*y. tmz promotes filth,and Harvey Levin is 100x's moar dangerous than poor old Whitey Bulger.

now in West Virginia working not too far from that prison.

1 lifer....1 with a release date in 8yrs

In my opinion Bulger was killed by angry lifers without orders from outside.

Furio, it was probably going to be a tougher eight years for him if he turned down the request.

"A funeral Mass was held Thursday morning in South Boston for notorious gangster James “Whitey” Bulger, the Boston Archdiocese has confirmed.

Members of his family, including former state Senate president William M. Bulger and Margaret McCusker, the twin sister of Bulger’s longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig, attended the Mass at St. Monica’s Church."

All the mourners were packed together into the front rows of the church. Most of the other seats were empty. The Mass was described as a private service for family members only.

I can understand why he gave info about his rivals, but he talked also about his own guys, maybe Salemme ordered this hit.

I usually mind my own business but "Joey Nobody" now that is funny as shit

In all these pages, Whitey comes across as being in total control, maybe because he’s dictating to FBI stenographers on his underworld payroll. But in October 1980, he made one very bad prediction to two of his crooked feds, Zip Connolly and John “Vino” Morris.

“Informant reiterated,” the two FBI agents/gangsters reported, “that in his opinion, if he is ever murdered, it will be as a result of gangland warfare rather than him being identified as an informant.”

Wrong, Whitey. And it was your final mistake.

Amazing how much shit he got away with....

The alleged assailants were not known to be threats nor had any known geographical ties to Bulger,” the bureau said. But then it introduced another mystery, given that both Geas and DeCologero were Massachusetts mobsters. The “documented legal residence of both individuals” suspected of beating Bulger, the bureau said, “was not Massachusetts”.

Hi

BAMA'S GOING DOWN........

Whitey Bulger, infamous Boston mob boss, had hoped for a 'peaceful death', letters say
Associated Press

Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger had hoped for a 'peaceful death' in prison, according to newly disclosed letters.

The Boston Globe reports that Bulger described in several letters to a friend his declining health and his hope to be "one of those he Died in his Sleep kind."

Florida resident Charlie Hopkins said he wanted to share Bulger's letters to show his friend wasn't healthy enough to be transferred from a Florida prison to a West Virginia prison with fewer medical services.

Bulger was serving his life sentence for 11 murders and other crimes in prisons specializing in sick inmates before arriving at Hazelton prison in Bruceton Mills last month.

He was bludgeoned to death by other inmates shortly after he arrived. He was 89. No one has been charged.
