Whitey being a rat is indisputable period. No arguing that, its a fact, but alls im trying to get across is he wasn't this pedophile, weak man who was a pawn in the Italians game. And im just trying to let everyone know some of the truths. Joe Russo believes anything he hears or reads and im not buying any of what hes selling except that he may know a guy who knows a guy and gets his "facts" from these fellas. The Jimmy Flemmi being a made guy statement is just ludicrous, anyone of you guys could look it up and see whos wrong or right. He was a hitter for the Hill and Italians and killed without permission until it became too much to deal with so Anguilo had a sitdown with Jimmy that was wired and he told the bear he would now have to get an ok for his killings and this was after the gang war. Him and Barboza got permission from Partriarca to kill Deegan, but most of his hits were without permission. Shit he shot Frank Benjamin, killed him for saying in a bar he was going to kill Buddy Mclean and had to cut off his head cause he used a cops gun to shoot him in the head. Wheres the permission for that murder and many more just like it. Whitey Bulger and Greg Scarpa could be the same person. Their roles with the FBI were almost exact except Scarpa gave more valuable info. Italian, Irish, there have been rats of these ethnicities since the beginning of organized crime. Some just knew how to play it better and use it to their absolute advantage like Whitey did where he had the feds feeding him information about everything.
